If you’ve ever found yourself swooning over a gorgeous backless dress, only to be stumped by the question, “What bra am I supposed to wear with this?” – you’re not alone.
Silicone bras (also known as backless and strapless bras) are one of the most asked-about items in our range. And with good reason – they’re a clever little fashion solution that can help you pull off tricky outfits with confidence.
But if you’re wondering how on earth a sticky bra can stay in place and give you support, let us walk you through how they work, how to wear them, and how to take care of them.
First up – what exactly is a silicone bra?
A silicone bra is a self-adhesive, strap-free, and back-free bra that’s designed to disappear under outfits that need a little support – without the usual straps or hooks.
At SECRET WEAPONS, our Skin Bra is designed to:
- Blend with your skin using a natural nude tone
- Stay firmly in place using medical-grade adhesive
- Be soft, seamless, and virtually invisible under clothing
- Add a little boost and cleavage with a front clasp closure
- Be reusable, washable, and available in sizes A to D
It’s a favourite for weddings, summer frocks, formal wear, and anything with a daring back or neckline.
How to apply your Skin Bra for the best fit
Getting the fit right makes all the difference. Here’s how to put it on:
- Start with clean, dry skin. Avoid moisturisers or oils, as they stop the adhesive from sticking properly.
- Peel back the cup and position it. Hold the bra by the edges and place the first cup on your breast, smoothing from the centre outwards.
- Repeat with the other side. Try to match the angle of the first cup for a natural shape.
- Connect the clasp. This brings the two cups together for lift and cleavage.
- Check your fit. Adjust as needed, then go forth and enjoy your outfit!
Caring for your silicone bra
With the right care, your Skin Bra can be worn again and again. Here’s how to keep it in tip-top shape:
- Wash gently after each wear. Use warm water and a little mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing, fingernails or brushes.
- Rinse and air dry. Shake off excess water and place the cups adhesive side up in their original case to dry.
- Keep the adhesive clean. Avoid contact with clothing, lint or hair, as this can damage the stickiness.
- Avoid harsh products. No alcohol, bleach or strong cleaners – just warm water and soap will do the trick.
- Don’t use on broken or sunburnt skin. Always wait until your skin is healthy and intact.
Still unsure if a silicone bra is right for you?
If you’re feeling a little sceptical, that’s perfectly normal. They can seem like magic at first! But thousands of women swear by them for special occasions, summer dresses, and anything that needs a little support without the straps.
