Frequently Asked Questions

Using nipple covers is an essential safety measure, not an optional accessory. The skin on the nipple and areola is particularly sensitive and delicate. Applying the strong medical-grade adhesive of the body tape directly to this area can cause irritation and discomfort upon removal. Nipple covers create a protective barrier, ensuring the tape adheres only to the surrounding, less sensitive skin, which makes the entire experience safer and far more comfortable.

Buub offers two distinct types of nipple covers to suit different preferences and needs.

Fabric Nipple Covers: These are made from satin with a medical-grade adhesive backing. They are designed for single use and come in a pack containing five pairs. They are an excellent, hygienic option for one-off events.

Reusable Silicone Nipple Covers: These are crafted from 100% skin-friendly matte silicone with ultra-thin, tapered edges for a seamless finish. They are a more sustainable choice, as they are washable and can be reused over and over again with proper care. They come as a single pair, in a protective travel pouch.

The Reusable Silicone Nipple Covers are available in two variations to cater to different comfort levels.

Adhesive: These covers have a medical-grade adhesive backing, allowing them to stick securely to the skin on their own. This is ideal for those who want extra security or wish to wear them without body tape under thin or light-coloured or looser clothing.

Non-Adhesive: These covers have no adhesive and stay in place through the pressure and fit of clothing or body tape placed over them. This is the preferred option for individuals with sensitive skin who want to minimise all contact with adhesives.

Proper care is essential to maximise the lifespan of the reusable silicone covers and maintain their adhesive properties (if applicable). Follow these steps after each use:

  1. Hand Wash Gently: Wash the covers using warm water and a mild, oil-free soap.
  2. Clean Carefully: Use the palm of your hand to clean the surface; do not use fingernails, brushes, or harsh detergents, as these will permanently damage the silicone and adhesive.
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse well and shake off any excess water.
  4. Air Dry: Place the covers on a clean, dry surface to air dry completely. Do not use a towel, as lint will stick to the adhesive.
  5. Store Properly: Once fully dry, re-apply the protective plastic film that came with the covers and store them in their travel pouch to keep them clean and ready for their next use.
