Your Nipple Covers Deserve Better: 5 Things You're Probably Doing Wrong
Posted by SVW Team on
So… you’ve got nipple covers. Great! But are you actually taking care of them the right way?
Let’s be real: nipple covers aren’t just throwaway patches. The good ones, like yours, are made to last, support you through every outfit crisis, and disappear under your boldest looks. But only if you treat them right.
Here are 5 things you might be doing wrong with your nipple covers and how to fix them before it’s too late:
1. You're storing them like they’re candy wrappers
- What you’re doing: tossing them into your drawer, makeup bag, or under your pillow.
- What to do instead: store them in their original case or something similar.
2. You're washing them like dishes
- What you’re doing: using soap with perfume, alcohol, or scrubbing them with a towel.
- Better idea: wash gently with lukewarm water and mild soap, let them air-dry with the sticky side up. No towels. No rubbing.
3. You’re moisturizing right before using them
Biggg NOOO!! Moisturizer + adhesive = slippery disaster. Your skin needs to be clean, dry, and free of oils. Apply your body lotion after your night out.
4. You’re not rotating them out
Just like bras, you shouldn’t wear the same over and over. If you wear nipple covers regularly, get 2 pairs and rotate. That way, each pair gets to breathe and last longer.
Why having two pairs just makes sense?
Different outfits call for different solutions and that's why having both Adhesive and Grippy nipple covers is ideal.
Our Adhesive covers are perfect for when you need extra security. They stick in place and stay put. And you can use them, for example, with flowy dresses or looser outfits, they won’t move out of place!
On the other hand, our Grippy covers are designed without adhesive, making them perfect for tighter tops!
There’s no need to choose between them. They’re made for different situations, and alternating between the two helps keep both pairs in great condition for longer.
5. You're keeping them on too long
Yes, they’re comfy. No, they shouldn’t live on your skin forever. We don’t recommend wearing them for extended periods of time because your skin needs to breathe too.
Your nipple covers can last you multiple wears, save you from wardrobe malfunctions, and let you wear whatever you want, but only if you treat them with a little love.
