The weather is getting hotter, and some of us can’t help but show off a little skin for summer. If you fall in that category and plan to go strapless, backless or sheer for Fourth of July and beyond, you’ll need some extra coverage.

Sticky bras and reusable nipple covers provide added coverage (usually more than most pasties) for busts of all sizes, plus they’re easy to pop on and off, whereas strapless bras can be complicated to maneuver and tend to slide down.

Personally, I prefer nipple covers over sticky bras, but in the interest of providing you with a variety of options, we’ve rounded up a handful off bestselling, reusable stick-on bras and nipple covers available at Amazon, Walmart and other retailers.

See more below.

Topping the list are Nippies Nipple Covers. These bestselling, reusable nipple covers are No. 1 at Amazon with over 30,000 customer ratings and a 4.5 out of stars. The nipple covers provide all-day coverage with super-hold adhesive. They’re available in sizes small (for A-C cups) and large (for D+ cups) in five different shades including caramel, coco, crème, espresso and hazelnut.

“Life-changing nip wizardry,” one excited shopper wrote on Amazon. “These magical circles of wonder have transformed my wardrobe game and saved me from countless wardrobe malfunctions. Move over, regular bras – sticky nipple covers are here to steal the show!”

Another shopper added, “The first thing I do when I get home and settle in for the evening is take off my shoes and my bra. Bras are torture devices. And I’m not even large breasted! But I don’t want to be all nipply so these are the perfect solution. They offer no support, they just hide the headlight effect. They are washable, reusable, lightweight and are invisible under clothes. Just the right amount of stickiness to adhere to skin. I think they’re great.”

Perkies Petals has been a favorite of mine for more than a year now. I’ve tested them out in all cold, cool and extremely hot climates and at different times of year (summer through spring) and they always hold up.

“A must have! Wore these with a sheer-ish formal dress and they were absolutely perfect,” wrote one satisfied shopper. “I felt confident and covered all night. I will 100% be bringing them with me on every trip.. clean, supportive, and comes with a travel case! As essential as sunscreen!”

The reusable, silicone nipple covers are available in light, medium and dark nude and can be worn for up to 8 hours at a time (they’ll even stay put in sweltering heat). Perkies donates five percent of its sales to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Wingslove is another brand that we’ve tested, and a top-seller at Amazon. This is a decent choice if you’re looking for a budget adhesive bra, but it’s not going to last you in the long run. On the plus side, Wingslove bras are easy to take off and they’re available in 10 shades including beige, black, brown, coco, coffee, nude and pink/orange.  

The Alki’I Adhesive Push Up Bra is another Amazon find under $20. It’s available in sizes A-F and provides nipple coverage and lift.

The Risque nipple covers come highly recommended from hundreds of Target reviews. The reusable, silicone nipple covers are currently available in caramel and cocoa (they’re out of stock in cream). And the results are “life-changing” per one shopper review. “Barely taken these off since I got them,” write the shopper. “I literally forget I’m wearing them. so comfy and stick like magic. I’ll always have a pair from this day forward!”

Nood’s Game Changer Life & Shape Bra is an eco-friendly, shape bra designed for every size – even up to DDD/G+.

Made from sustainable hemp fabric, the Game Changer lifts, shapes and tapes, plus it’s sweat-proof and waterproof. “You will not regret buying this. Watch a couple videos on how to put it on smoothly and you are all set. I’m hooked and will Never wear a strapless bra again!” wrote one shopper who added that she wears a 32DDD.

The Xtra Stay Adhevise Bra from Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty landed on our radar due to pricing and customer reviews. Available in black caviar, the sticky bra comes in sizes A-DDD and is designed to bring the girls together for a “cleavage boost.” The bra is 60% off with Savage x Fenty’s VIP offer.
