Frequently Asked Questions
đ About Nipple Buds
Q: What are Nipple Buds?
Nipple Buds are premium self-adhesive nipple pasties made for festivals, lingerie looks, pole dancing, boudoir shoots, and bold nights in. They're fun, flirty, and functionalâcovering just enough to make a statement.
Q: Are they safe for skin?
Yes! All Nipple Buds use medical-grade, latex-free adhesive designed for skin contact. If you have ultra-sensitive skin, we recommend testing on a small patch before full wear.
Q: Are Nipple Buds reusable?
Most pasties are designed for single use, but if removed carefully and stored on the original backing, some customers get a second wear. Just note: we donât guarantee reusability.

Most Nipple Buds are about 3 inches wide and fit cup sizes AâD comfortably. For fuller coverage, look for XL or oversized styles.
