Like a virgin white heart pasties - pasties discontinued by Bristols 6 - review by Dawn (Lilac Distraction)

Summary

Pasties! Oh my! What do you do with them? You stick 'em on your boobs! They help you avoid those embarrassing nip slips while turning your nipples into something that says "Hey, I'm a modest lady!". Let your boobies be free without worry! Low cut tops that try to show off the goods? Strapless slinky things that are always slipping down? Sheer sexy things that leave less than you'd like to the imagination? Nipple piercings that always need to make their presence known? Fear not, my boobied friends. These pasties are here to help!

Contents

What do you get in this little envelope of modesty? This particular set comes with two lacy pasties, two solid ones, some nipple pads (you know, so they don't take those things off when removing them), and two tiny little hearts you can stick to yourself somewhere. Decoration or something like that. It does say that these can be used for a test swatch for the adhesive, but unless you know you have some allergies or sensitivities it's best not to worry about that.

Sizing

The pasties themselves come in different size options, but generally that doesn't help much because everyone's nipples are different sizes and such. Needless to say, if you have small nipples, go with the A/B. Those with larger nipples should go with the B/C. But then it's kinda hard to tell what's 'big' and what's 'small' so here are some measurements of the A/B:

From side to side the hearts measure a little less than 3". From top to bottom going down the middle they're about 2" long. You'll want to take the shape of the heart into consideration because most of us out there don't have heart shaped nipples, sadly. The little protective pads are just over an inch. For some it would seem like that's pretty small, but it seems as though they're supposed to go over the entire nipple itself instead of the areola. The small hearts run at just about an inch across, so there's really not much you can do with these unless your whole nipple area is microscopic. I have small boobs, myself, and these would just look hilarious. They make nice stickers, though.

Application

It's probably pretty easy to figure these things out in regards to how they work. Make sure your boobage is nice and clean. You don't want any excess oil, dry skin, lotion, or other boob-related things to be left behind because these won't want to stick and you'll be back at square one. A little astringent or alcohol helps to get the skin really clean and oil free, just make sure the area is nice and dry. These things hate water, too.

Now that your boobies are all clean and fresh, it's time to put these babies on. Carefully peel the backing away from the pastie. If you get a wrinkle in it it's not going to want to cooperate and wrinkly pasties aren't fun at all. Unless you want to take your whole nipple off when removing these it's best to use those little nipple pad thingies. Take your little nipple protector and place it as close to the center as you can, the center being the part where the most material is. That heart shape is a little difficult to work with sometimes. Once you've got it stuck on there it's time to place the pastie! A mirror certainly helps in this process. Hold the little heart over your nipple and check in the mirror that it's straight. Once you have it there, you'll slowly start to press it to the nipple starting with the center. Go slowly to make sure everything is nice and smooth. And voila! Now you have modest bare boobies!

Removal is the least fun part of the process. Yes, they're quite sticky. Yes, it does suck to rip them off. However, it's not the end of the world. You can rip them off like you'd do with a bandaid but that kinda hurts and stuff. If you want to go with the least masochistic route, try getting them wet. Water works, as does baby oil. The second option there will help to loosen up their boob loving death grip and won't have you screaming.

Once they're removed they're basically done for. You could technically wear them again, but they're not going to be anywhere near as sticky as a fresh pair. That's why these are best saved for special occasions. If you really, really want to wear them again and don't feel like buying another pair, just pick up some pastie glue or even some clear eyelash adhesive. Not the best options in the world, but hey, some of us are thrifty.

Performance

If you're looking for full coverage you might want to stick to the solid ones. The lace ones are a bit sheer and seem to be better for decoration rather than practical use, but they're still pretty. If you want something that's going to be completely smooth, again, go with the solid ones. The lace ones aren't necessarily rough, but they do have some texture to them. If you've got pierced nipples you want to keep under cover, solid ones are a match, as well. They're a bit more sturdy than the other ones.

These are highly sticky, but not itchy or weird feeling at all. It's suggested to not wear them for more than 8 hours. It won't kill you if you wear them longer, though. If you have pierced nipples you won't want to go past 8 hours, and might want to consider your time frame cut a little shorter than that. If you've had them pierced for less than a year you'll want to skip them all together. Healing issues and such.

Sweat doesn't seem to deter them from their boobie business, so go ahead and dance your hot little butt off without worrying about dropping your pasties on the floor. Like bandaids, they can make the skin a little clammy if you've either worn them for an extended period of time or gotten super hot and sweaty, but there's no real issues there.

All in all, these really aren't that bad. They're a cute little compliment to many occasions. You can prance around all sexy-like wearing nothing but these and a thong, or they can be some extra insurance when you decide to ramp up the volume on your sexy.
