Expert Answer

Only use water and a mild soap. Never apply any harsh cleaners or chemicals to the bra.

Most adhesive bras lose their stickiness when they pick up oil and other residues from your skin. After you wash your bra with soap and warm water, it should become sticky again!

There are waterproof options out there that are ideal for wearing under swimwear. Just check the label when you buy your adhesive bra to make sure it will hold up to swimming or bathing.

Generally, yes. However, it’s best not to wear them for longer than 8 hours at a time, since they might start to irritate your skin after a while. You may want to avoid them if you’re allergic to adhesives or to silicone (although silicone allergies are rare).
