Duct tape instead of bra?

[ImMeMe]

I have a posh do coming up and a dress that needs a bit more umph than I seem to be able to manage with a bra.

I also have a roll of duct tape.

Has anyone ever done this? It's the removal I'm more bothered about. Will it be really bad?

[megletthesecond]

They did it on buzzfeed the other week. IIRC it works but removal isn't nice.

[ImMeMe]

Hmmm. I need to practice first and now would be an ideal opportunity. But I'm too scared!

Wide masking tape will come off more comfortably than duct tape (the silver kind).

[ImMeMe]

Will masking tape give me enough hold? I'm a 28g, but dont look as enormous as it sounds!

[Tuiles]

I think heating plasters with a hair dryer help with removal. Would probably worth with duct tape too.

What bras are you wearing? Are you sure they are the right ones for you?
Or is it a problem of a very low cut?

Why stop at bra?

[Sallyhasleftthebuilding]

Have you looked at stick in bras?

Wrap of cling film around first ?, before the duct tape

[UnmentionedElephantDildo]

Won't it slip if you introduce cling film?

OP I think you need proper sold-for-purpose tit tape as the mere thought of removal of duct tape is making me shudder.

Use oil to remove/help remove the tape.

[specialsubject]

if you must sellotape up your tits because of a really badly designed dress; there's something called zinc tape which is used for sports injuries, designed to stick to skin and deliberately non stretch.

to get it off again, have a couple of long baths. Any adhesive residue will come off with surgical spirit.

I use it. on my KNEE.

What? You wedge a roll under each boob?

Don't do it!!

I stupidly did it so I could wear a ridiculous backless (practically front less) gold dress to a party - the next morning I tried a hairdryer a soak in a bath and still was left with gluey, red raw underboob - honestly I couldn't wear a bra for ages (now that's irony)

Amazon do loads of body tapes and strapless backless stick on bra doo dads - go with one of those.

You need to practice, but take it seriously.

Tape, put dress on, sit, walk for at least a couple of hours, and, most importantly drink some wine, just to test in every possible situation.

[ImMeMe]

I gave it a try and it works! Came off surprisingly easily and I wonder if it is as sticky as the proper stuff. I got this one www.hobbycraft.co.uk/duck-tape-funky-leopard-48-centimetres-wide/598818-1015#product_description-tab

Don't use any body creams and oils, save those for the taking off phase.

[ImMeMe]

I did take it off after about 10 mins though. I do think if I left it longer it might have been trickier to remove...

Maybe it was the sleeping in it pissed that made my boobs suffer so, but I do get eczema so it may have been a reaction. God its making my boobs hurt thinking about it.
