Just in time for backless szn, wouldn’t you agree? And let’s give credit where it’s absolutely due: the humble sticky bra (and everything under that magnificent umbrella, from boob tape to discreet nipple covers) is, in our humble opinion, one of the most ingenious pieces of lingerie anyone with breasts can own. A true sartorial saviour.

Come spring and summer, when our wardrobes lean into those slinky silks, daring cut-outs, and unapologetically open backs, a lot of us find ourselves relying on these invisible wonders. With an adhesive bra, you can wave goodbye to those pesky wardrobe malfunctions and, more importantly, banish the dreaded sight of your favourite strapless bra band peeking out at precisely the wrong moment. Because truly, what is more “unchic” than exposed lingerie when it’s not meant to be?

Do Stick-On Bras Actually Work? (Spoiler: Yes!)

Apart from taking all the guesswork (and mild panic) out of getting dressed for those trickier numbers, the best of the sticky silicone varieties are ridiculously easy to apply, remove, clean, and – crucially – reuse. That’s right, no need to stress about that unfortunate skin tugging that can sometimes accompany breast tape and nipple covers.

So, whether you’ve got a show-stopping backless wedding guest dress demanding attention, a plunging white shirt poised for a sizzling date night, or a near-sheer linen midi calling your name for an upcoming holiday, a genuinely good stick-on bra can, quite frankly, make all the difference. It’s the silent hero of your summer wardrobe.

Below, we’ve curated the crème de la crème of sticky bras and discreet solutions, many of which have been rigorously put through their paces by our very own La Mode UK editor, Daniel Izebe (Though a man). These are the ones that will truly offer you support under pretty much everything – whether you’re working with a petite bust or a more abundant one.

Our Tried & Tested Sticky Bra Favourites: The La Mode UK Verdict

What one person might crown as the ultimate sticky bra won’t necessarily be the same for another woman (we are, after all, delightfully unique creatures!). That’s why we’ve made a conscious effort to get as many as possible – from all shapes and sizes.

Ahead, discover the 10 sticky bras we genuinely rate.

Lounge’s Stick-On Bra

If Lounge’s cult-favourite t-shirt bras are anything to go by (and trust us, they are), then their foray into the stick-on world is set to be an absolute smash hit. This style is already winning us over with its three different skin-toned colourways – because, finally, some options!

Backless and Strapless Push Up Bra

Wired and shaped just like your favourite everyday bra, this Boux Avenue style is a top-drawer triumph. It’s a rare gem – a strapless, sticky bra that also delivers on the push-up front. We’re stocking up, frankly.

Pros: Comes with detachable straps for versatility – wear it halter, wear it with a back strap, whatever you fancy!

Cons: Come on Boux, we need more than two colours!

Pros: Nicely shaped to give excellent full-boob coverage.

Cons: The ‘lift’ section sits quite high, so perhaps not for your super-low necklines.

Sizes: A-DD.

Colours: 1.

Materials: Silicone.

Bye Bra Push Up Reusable Stick On Cups

Moulded and, crucially, dermatologically tested, these push-up reusable stick-on cups will have you waving goodbye to your everyday bras in no time. They’re a brilliant option if you want more coverage than nipple covers but a better shape than tape can provide.

Cons: Only comes in smaller cup sizes and just the one colour – we need options!

Sizes: A-B. Colours: 1. Materials: Polyamide, elastane.

Stick and Clip Bra
