The range of strapless bras is large, so you need to know exactly what you need for which outfit. A distinction can be made between the classic strapless bras, adhesive bras and nipple covers.

With the classic Carmen or Bardot neckline, it is best to use a strapless bra, which may be a silicone strip inside has to guarantee a better hold. The same applies to dresses and tops with spaghetti straps. For wedding dresses and other items of clothing that are further cut, have a special shape or have a bit of transparency, we recommend adhesive bras and nipple covers. The latter are also ideal for those of you who need seamless underwear, by the way.

Instead, the bandeau bra is pulled over the head like a T-shirt, instead of being hooked into one another at the front or back.

Strapless bras to stick on
The adhesive bra has been used in the area of going out dresses for years. Be it for the prom, dance ball or a wedding – the adhesive bra not only makes it possible for you to wear it without your back, but also without your shoulders. This bra is particularly suitable for wedding dresses or ball gowns that are transparent in the shoulder and back area and therefore flashing straps would be unsuitable. The Adhesive bra from Hunkemöller is hooked into one another at the front and consists of two individual cups that you put on your chest beforehand. It is also reusable if you wash it with lukewarm water and possibly a little mild soap. After it has air dried, you can use it again.
The undercover bra
Nipple covers can no longer be called a bra and yet they are so valuable in this area. They don’t offer support, but they do ensure that the nipples are optimally covered in certain outfits made of satin or silk, for example. You just stick the patches on and they take care of it Nipple covers made of silicone for having a breast like Barbie. The silicone patches contained in the box are – like the adhesive bra – reusable and can be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap. The two included pairs of disposable nipple covers should be discarded after use.

- A – C cup: Regardless of the size of your bust size, what you find beautiful, you define yourself. If you like your subtle bust size, then you can fall back on a bandeau bra as well as a push-up bra to maximize. With cup sizes A – C you have the most freedom and are best geared to your personal taste.
- D-Cup: For a D-cup, you should choose a bra with an underbust band, such as the Perfect Strapless from Wonderbra. In general, it is best to choose a model with a bracket for sizes from D, so as not to unnecessarily stretch the fabric over the long term.
