The 10 Best Nipple Pasties

• Also available on Walmart, $20

NIPPIES makes some of the most popular pasties out there. On Amazon alone, they’ve garnered best-seller status and over 18,000 five-star reviews. The reusable silicone pasties are waterproof, so they’ll stand up to sweat, and because they’re matte, they won’t show up in pictures with flash. They come in two sizes — small and large — and five colors, all housed in a protective case.

Helpful review: “If anyone is debating getting these, seriously get them. I wore them for the first time the other day. They applied super easily and you couldn’t see them at all under my clothes. They were so comfortable I completely forgot I had them on until I was washing myself in the shower [...] Easy to clean, and stored back in the cute little container. Can’t wait to wear them again!”

For less than $15, you can get 50 pairs of disposable pasties. That means you’ll only get one use out of each pair, but the value can’t be beat. The pasties have adhesive on one side and a soft satin material on the other. They’re shaped like flower petals and come in three colors, but you can also buy a mixed pack that includes both black and beige.

Helpful review: “These pasties hold on through sweat, dancing, and summer heat! Even right after putting them on they can be peeled off without pain. They also don't show underneath shirts like some of the raised ones. I'll continue to buy these.”

These nipple pasties are bigger and more supportive than most (that’s thanks to the tape on top that you can use to lift your breasts), so they’re a great choice for people with bigger busts. Like most of the reusable pasties on this list, they’re made of medical-grade silicone and can be used over and over again as long as you take good care of them. Choose from three colors.

Helpful review: “I am borderline DD/E cup, so have never really been satisfied with any strapless or 'bra alternative' options. However, a friend in a similar situation recommended these ones and I was impressed. Definitely not the same level of support as an actual bra (with straps) but better than any strapless bra I've tried.”

This pastie set comes at a great price — you get four pairs and a travel-friendly case for just $12. You’ll get two pairs of classic round pasties and two pairs of petal-shaped ones, all reusable and made of medical-grade silicone. They’re offered in three different skin tones that should remain invisible under most clothing. Over 4,900 Amazon reviewers left these a five-star rating, so they’re a popular pick among your fellow shoppers.

Helpful review: “I love using these, they have made my summer so much easier! no bra straps with tank tops, cold shoulder tops, and halters. Haven't worn a bra all summer just these and put on a top ... you are good to go.”

Here’s another set of four pasties for under $15 — and these do come in darker colors: Choose from black or brown, or for a lighter skin tone, they’re also offered in beige. Like the set above, you’ll get both round and petal-shaped pasties as well as a small case, but these cost even less money. These, too, are washable and reusable and will last you dozens of uses if you treat them gently.

Helpful review: “Bought these lovely pasties for sun dresses since I didn’t want bra showing so I just put these on and they did the job. Perfect color that matched my skin tone. I love them! Highly recommend!”

If you’re looking for a pair of pasties you can show off — maybe you’re headed to a music festival, or you want to wear a sheer mesh top without going totally uncovered — these Neva Nude pasties offer plenty of fun options to choose from. They’re disposable, so they’ll only last you one wear (up to 12 hours), but they come in dozens of colors and prints, from rainbow and plaid to several variations of metallic, sparkles, and geometric patterns. They’re latex-free and waterproof, to boot.

Helpful review: “AMAZING! entire night. I even woke up with them still in place! Definitely worth it 100x!”

For an equally flaunt-worthy pair of pasties — but a bit more romantic — Nippies makes these heart-shaped pasties in both black and caramel. Sold in two sizes, you get two pairs in each set: one is made of a soft, satin material, and the other is covered in pretty lace. Though they’re waterproof, they’ll probably only last you a few uses depending on how much you sweat.

Helpful review: “I was skeptical of how good these pasties would be, as it was my first time to order them. I was extremely impressed with the overall quality, and the strength of the adhesive does allow you to get a lift when applied correctly. These lasted all day as part of my costume for a comic convention, and even all night when I went dancing at a club and left drenched in sweat-- they never even started to peel off.”

Measuring a mere 0.2 millimeters, Queensecret calls their pasties the “thinnest in the world,” so if you’re looking for something lightweight and barely noticeable, try these. Sold in a set of two pairs, the thin, reusable pasties are made of medical-grade silicone and should work for most cup sizes, though they only come in one color.

Helpful review: “I have tried several different brands of silicone pasties, and these are the best yet! I have been wearing the same pair (washing each time with water and mild soap, of course) almost every day for over a month, and the adhesive is still going strong. Also, the size and thickness are great. All other pasties I've tried are much smaller and thicker and only draw more attention to my nipple area, even under thicker fabrics. These completely disappear.”

These multicolored nipple pasties from Maidenform set themselves apart from other disposable options with their satiny, friction-free finish under clothes. You get three pairs — one black, one neutral, and one funky leopard print — so your wardrobe options are endless. The easy-to-apply adhesive is designed to be skin-friendly.

Helpful review: “Super comfy. I needed these for an under boob tattoo session and not only were they cute, they were comfortable.”

One last option to consider is a silicone bra, which works similarly to pasties in that it sticks onto your breasts using gentle adhesive, but it offers a bit more of a supportive, bra-like feel. The other nice thing about this “bra” is that it comes in eight bra sizes, going all the way up to G. Impressively, it’s been awarded over 13,000 five-star ratings by Amazon shoppers thus far. You can also get it in other skin tones as well as bold colors, plus it comes with a free pair of pasties.

Helpful review: “I’m a 38 D/DD and got the F size. [...] I felt secure and comfortable and while this is never meant to hoist your ladies to your chin, it’s giving a good amount of support. [...] I like that it came with nipple pasties. I did wash it after I tried it on and the adhesive seems perfectly intact! I’m excited about the possibilities that this bra can bring! It’s a sexy new world!”
