Where to buy a stick-on bra in the UK?

There are lots of places to shop stick on bras in the UK – and you don't necessarily have to head to a bra specialist, either.

Retailers like Selfridges, John Lewis, ASOS and Boohoo have a great selection on offer, while Amazon is filled with plenty of choice.

What are cupid pads?

Cupid pads are the little rabbit ear-shaped stick-on bras that you might have seen online.

The bunny design gives an invisible lift and can also be cut to size: perfect for a custom look with any outfit.

Rather than joining in the middle, they come in two separate pieces for each breast, so they're ideal for ultra-plunging necklines where you need a completely invisible look.

Can you reuse a stick-on bra?

Yes! Stick-on bras are designed to be reused, but bear in mind that they do have a shelf life due to the adhesive.

That being said, if you follow the care instructions properly (which will usually say to handwash in warm water), then you'll be able to get plenty of use from your bra before needing to replace it: we've heard women say they've got upwards of 30 wears out of theirs.

How to wash a stick-on bra

Most stick-on bras need to be hand washed to make sure that the sticky adhesive stays sticky. It's quite straightforward: just use water and soap, making sure that it doesn't contain any bleach or alcohol. Then, hang it out to dry. Simple.

How to wear a stick-on push-up bra

Unlike your classic ordinary-strapped bra, stick-on push-up bras require a little adjusting to get into the right position.

Be warned, too, moisture can make the bra slip down and that's not exactly what you want on your night out.

That being said, it's best to avoid your breast area when it comes to post-shower creaming and moisturising.

If you want a more pushed-up cleavage, then you'll want each cup to be a little bit further away from each other. Otherwise, place them as you please.

How to store stick on bras

After you've washed your stick-on bra, it's best to leave it to dry on a flat surface so that the shape doesn't warp.

Most stick-on bras come in a sealable plastic bag so it's best to keep it inside there while you're not wearing it so that it stays fresh and doesn't get covered in fluff from the other underwear in your drawer.

When you've cleaned and stored your backless bra correctly, you can pretty much use it for months on end.
