Whether you need a little extra support under that strapless bridesmaid dress or — like Kate Hudson once declared — you simply don’t like wearing conventional bras, there are two styling staples that you shouldn’t leave home without: stick-on bras (also known as “sticky bras”) and nipple covers (also known as “pasties”).
Stars don’t just step out letting it all hang out — especially in those stunning sheer, backless, strapless and barely-there red carpet gowns. More often than not, there’s a self-adhesive secret behind-the-scenes that’s keeping everything looking right and tight.

BEST AFFORDABLE STICK-ON BRA ON AMAZON
For a more budget-friendly option, Wingslove’s stick-on bra comes in an impressive eight shades and up to six cup sizes. It’s an Amazon standout with nearly 10,000 reviews, and offers a subtle lift.
4. Depovor Super Sticky Push-Up Bra (26% off)
BEST STICK-ON BRA FOR PLUNGE NECKLINES
For a strapless sticky bra that can accommodate a lower plunging neckline, opt for Depovor’s super sticky push-up bra, which is designed in the shape of a mango to create a deep-V curve. This two-pack comes in both fair and black, so you can easily switch it up depending on your look.
5. Satinior Nipple Covers (7% off)
BEST DISPOSABLE NIPPLE COVERS
If you’re wearing black or a totally sheer number, sometimes the subtle sheen of skin-hued pasties are simply not the vibe. That’s where Satinior’s black flower-shaped covers step in, available in a disposable satin fabric. Bonus: this is a 50-pack for under $15, so the cost-per-wear here is an absolute steal.
6. Nue Breast Tape
BEST BREAST TAPE
When you want to fly free but still need some support and cover, look to Nue’s sweatproof, stays-all-day breast tape, which comes in a 16.5-foot roll. (Pamela Anderson recently wore the brand’s silicone nipple covers underneath her Baywatch-inspired dress.) Founded by beauty editor Stephanie Montes, the shade-inclusive, oft-imitated brand comes in three colors and can be customized by fit, coverage and support. We also love that the company works with the Bra Recyclers and Impact One Breast Cancer Foundation to collect new and gently used bras that go to uninsured women fighting breast cancer.
7. Fashion Forms Lift It Up Silicone Gel Petals

For that extra oomph, Fashion Form’s lifting gel petals provides a gentle lift, and can be worn up to 25 times. Pro tip: washing between wears reactivates the adhesive.

For the deepest plunge and mega boost, invest in Fashion Forms’ voluptuous plunge adhesive bra, which is designed for full-busted figures and offers a generous cup size range from B to H. It’s one of the best stick-on bras for wedding dresses with a deep plunge and backless design.
10. Gatherall Bra
BEST SEAMLESS STICK-ON BRA
Available in cup sizes A to DD and in four skin tones, Gatherall’s reusable silicone bra is adhesive and washable. It’s best for strapless and backless silhouettes, and we love the smooth, seam-free design.
