If you’ve ever put on a strapless, backless, or low-cut outfit and thought… what am I supposed to wear underneath this? — you’re not alone.
Traditional bras don’t always work with every outfit. That’s where booby tape comes in.
When applied properly, booby tape can lift, shape, and support your bust—without straps, bands, or compromising your outfit.
In this guide, I’m walking you through exactly how to use it (and the mistakes to avoid 👀).

Step-by-Step: How to Lift Your Bust with Booby Tape
1. Start with clean, dry skin
Make sure your skin is free from oils, lotions, or sweat. This helps the tape stick properly and stay in place all day.
2. Apply nipple covers
This step is essential. Nipple covers protect sensitive skin and make removal much more comfortable.
You can use:
- Silicone reusable nipple covers
- One-time use nipple covers
3. Cut your tape to size
Your outfit will determine how you apply your tape.
In the video, I’m wearing a summer dress with spaghetti straps and a slight plunge neckline, so I taped each breast individually—anchoring just below the bust and lifting upward.
If your outfit has sleeves, you can take the tape higher toward the shoulders for additional lift.
Hold the tape where you plan to anchor it, measure to your desired endpoint, and cut your strip. Use this as a guide to cut additional strips for full coverage.
👉 Pro tip: Round the corners of your strips with scissors—this helps the tape adhere better and prevents lifting.
4. Anchor the base (don’t stretch)
Apply the bottom of the tape underneath your bust without stretching it.
This creates a strong, secure foundation.
5. Lift and apply upward
Gently lift your bust to your desired position and apply the tape upward.
Instead of removing the backing all at once, peel a small section to place your anchor, then continue slowly peeling as you apply.
This prevents the tape from sticking to itself and gives you more control.
6. Avoid overstretching
Too much tension can cause discomfort and lifting throughout the day.
Think support, not pull.
7. Layer if needed
Depending on your bust size and outfit, you can add additional strips for extra lift and shaping.
Pro Tip: Keep Your Outfit in Place
To finish the look, use double-sided fashion tape to keep your neckline exactly where you want it.
This helps prevent shifting and keeps everything looking polished.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping nipple covers
- Stretching the tape too much
- Applying on moisturized skin
- Rushing the application
How to Remove Booby Tape Safely
Never remove tape dry. The adhesive is strong (that’s what gives you the support), but removing it like a band-aid can irritate your skin.
Instead:
- Saturate the tape with oil (baby oil works great)
- Let it sit for a few minutes
- Gently wipe or peel it away
