Start with clean, dry skin
The single biggest factor in whether pasties stay put is what is on your skin before you apply them. Lotions, oils, sweat and powder all interfere with the adhesive. Wash the area with mild soap and water, rinse well, and let it dry completely before you open the adhesive backing.
If you are applying pasties for an outfit that involves dancing or heat, give yourself a few extra minutes to let the skin dry fully. A hair dryer on a cool setting can help, but keep it at a distance and test the temperature first.
Applying pasties with tassels or bows
Both the Pinke Nippel Pasties mit weißem Schleier and the Silber Nippel Pasties mit Schleife come with adhesive film included and are handmade in Berlin. The steps below apply to either style.
- 1. Peel the backing carefully: Peel the adhesive film from the pasty slowly, starting at one edge. Rushing can stretch or crease the adhesive and make the pasty harder to smooth down.
- 2. Position before you press: Hold the pasty by its edges and place it where you want it. For a pasty with a tassel or bow, check that the decoration hangs or sits the way you want before committing. Once the adhesive touches skin, repositioning weakens the bond.
- 3. Press and smooth from the center out: Press the center of the pasty firmly, then smooth outward to the edges with a clean, dry finger. Pay attention to the rim, which is where lifting usually starts.
- 4. Give the adhesive a moment: Body heat helps the adhesive settle. Press and hold each pasty for a few seconds before you move on to the next one.
Keeping tassels and bows in place
Tassels and bows add weight and movement, which can pull on the adhesive. If your outfit involves a lot of movement, check the pasties before you head out and again after you have been moving for a while. A gentle press on the rim is usually enough to reseat a slightly lifted edge.
Avoid touching the decorative parts with sticky fingers, and keep perfume, hairspray and body oil away from the pasty itself. These products can break down the adhesive without you noticing until the pasty lifts.

Removal: slow and steady
The supplied product information does not include specific removal instructions, so treat the following as general guidance rather than a manufacturer procedure. Go slowly. Peel from the edge rather than pulling the pasty straight off, and support the skin around it with your other hand. If the adhesive feels stubborn, a warm, damp cloth held against the pasty for a moment can help soften it.
Never rip a pasty off quickly, especially one with a tassel or bow that can catch on clothing. Remove them before you change outfits, and keep the adhesive side away from fabric and hair.
Matching pasties to your outfit
The Pinke Nippel Pasties mit weißem Schleier pair naturally with light, romantic or sheer looks, while the Silber Nippel Pasties mit Schleife suit metallic accessories and darker outfits. Both are designed for decorative wear, whether for yourself, for a partner, or for a performance. Neither product record includes sizing or coverage measurements, so if you need a specific fit, check the product page before ordering.
For outfits with thin straps or open backs, apply the pasties after you are dressed so you can position them around the neckline. For high-movement outfits, apply them last and give the adhesive a full minute to settle.
