Eylure London Bra Tape RRP £15 / Disposable Nipple Cover RRP £6.50 Sample Review

 


Eylure London have long been established as one of the leading brands in lashes and nails however, since the invention of 'tit-tape' , they have now brought out a whole range of products to solve every wardrobe and boob malfunction.

The great thing about these 'inventions' are that of course, backless, 'Bardot', off shoulder, plunge designs can be worn without resorting to uncomfortable rigid underwire, strapless bras. Those who are larger than an A cup can now wear plunge styles and so it opens up a whole new fashion world, for those who have breasts.


My first review was of the Silicone Nipple Covers, available in variety of shades to suit all skin tones. Having written for the press for over 7 years, there have been times when my dignity has gone out the window, and I've had to review products that would show the parts I would rather conceal. Being a rather large 36DD, erm prominent 'cigar butt' blessed or not blessed, the prominence of my nipples has always been rather embarrassing. Especially when I see myself in the mirror at the gym. Those babies don't like to shy away!  


These Silicone Nipple Covers were easy to apply. Simply peel from the backing material, and place over the nipple, then watch as if by magic as they create a smooth, seamless shape over your breasts. Make sure your skin is free from oil, and make sure you keep the backing material as they can be reused.  To remove simply peel away -  and no they don't hurt or pull the skin at all.


The dome shape is universal, and I'm presuming here the only ingredients are silicone as I simply can't find any ingredient list on the packaging. Here's a before and after and I think you will agree they are utterly brilliant (note I am not wearing a bra here for the sake of testing)! I'm also wearing my most unforgiving satin shirt!



They also come in 'Disposable' format, which are designed for single use, again in different tones.


Next to test was the 'Bra Tape', this I tested in the shade Medium.  Here you can play around, cut it and use it for a variety of designs, from halterneck, strapless, plunge etc.  


The ultra thin flexible tape, means that you get a seamless finish and no one would be none the wiser that you were 'taped up'.  You are advise to do a patch test first with these as they do contain 'pressure sensitive acrylic glue'.  However, they are latex free, which is worth knowing as many people suffer with allergies from latex. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using. 

Now I did start to review these but as mentioned above I'm a hefty 36DD and being at the age of 50, whilst I'm not so much droopy, I am post menopausal and for the love of money I could not get these to support my breasts. I think if I used the whole roll (there's 5m of 5cm), then yes, but I can't deal with the faffing about.  I did try, but quite simply put my breasts are too heavy and large and probably would need industrial strength glue. For others though, like my eldest the tape was perfect. So I would suggest up to a C or DD cup if you are younger and are blessed with natural support, or C cup if you are older post child bearing age!

They also have Double Sided Adhesive Tape £6.50 for 2m, which actually I have used before and I did get along with this - maybe as it's giving double whammy adhesive!
