Mimi rhinestone pasties - pasties discontinued by Bijoux Indiscrets - review by Jul!a

I'd never played with pasties of any kind before, and I really wanted to. So I hopped on over to Eden and went a-browsing, and these were what I took home with me.

The packaging really impressed me. It looked very high end and very professional. It's basically a flip card about 7" wide x 4 1/2" tall or so. Both the front and back are a matte black with a gloss black leafy design. On both the front and the back is a red sticker that extends down a few inches. On the back, that sticker tells you you've got rhinestone nipple-covers in 10 different languages.

Open it up and on the top half you get a picture of a model wearing the black version of these pasties, and the message to adorn your body with the most sensual sparkle, in the same 10 languages. The top half opens up again to give you directions. Across the top of the page are 3 numbered illustrations that show peeling off the back, sticking to your skin, and then patting it down. Also in the same 10 languages are instructions to go with the illustrations. 1: remove the plastic protector. 2: apply on clean, dry skin. 3: press so that it sticks completely.

There's also a disclaimer that says that the body adhesives are meant to be used only once, and are intended to be used for between 6 and 8 hours. Remove slowly and carefully so as not to damage skin. Do not use these (or other) adhesives on skin that is sensitive, cracked, irritated, sunburnt, with pigmentation problems, or if there is a history of pigmentation problems. Before using the product, test for 6-8 hours to check sensitivity, and if there is any burning or irritation discontinue use immediately.

The bottom half of the 'envelope' contains your pasties in a clear package, visible through a large window.

Eden advertises these as being reusable. The packaging says that the adhesive that comes on the pasties is only good for one use, but I've gotten a few uses so far. I would say that in the right conditions, you could easily get 3 or 4 uses before having to think about using glue.

Each pasty is about 3 1/2" across in each direction. That may not sound that big, but trust me, they take up a lot of visual space. Putting them on is really easy if your nipples aren't pierced at all, slightly more difficult with barbells, and probably fairly difficult with hoops. Without any piercings, just place so that the open spot is surrounding your nipple. With a barbell, grab the edges lightly and sort of work them through the opening in the pasty. I don't have any personal experience with hoops in the nipples, but I would recommend trying the same way as the barbells, assuming none of your jewelry is too big to fit through the hole.

Wearing these out to the club or someplace that you might start sweating will help to remove them faster, but I was able to wear mine out and about in 90 degree weather for a solid 8 hours. Being held in place by a bra would certainly help with that.

Removing them can cause some discomfort if you have any real hair around your nipples, and I mean any hair. It won't be the worst thing ever, but just keep it in mind. And for storage, I've been keeping them in the original packaging they came in.

Wearing these was awesome. They were really comfortable, and the clear 'webs' that connect all the sparklies completely disappeared against my skin, leaving me looking like my nipples were radiating diamonds. I wore them for a good 8 hours the first time, and the only issues I had were getting the clear webs to lay flat, which is really hard to do on a curved surface like a breast, and the fact that in the car with no AC one part would lift up really easily if I happened to be scratching in the area.

I didn't have any problems with itching or anything like that. I did have an issue with losing some of the fine hairs on my breasts when I went to remove them, but that was about it. I also thought when I was putting them away that there was no way I was gonna be able to wear them again, but I've gotten one more use out of them so far without the application of another adhesive.

So far, I'm happy with them. And I loved how much my boobs looked so much that I really wanted to share a picture with you. But since I figured it would be bad to post a picture of my booby for you, I put one on around my belly rings and took a picture to show you.

I got one more use out of these without a glue, but they didn't stay on very long. The glue I bought dried up before I really got to mess around with it, but I still see no reason why I wouldn't be able to get more and use it and that's why I've kept these after the last wearing.
