Bijoux Indiscrets Flash Glitter Cross Pasties Black

Peel one off its backing and the first thing to check is the shape, because the cross isn't a plain disc. The width runs from 3.5 cm at its narrowest point to 8 cm at its widest, and the whole pastie is 5.7 cm tall and 9.7 cm corner to corner. That's a decorative piece with real presence. It is not a quiet little cover-up, and it helps to know that before you hold it against your outfit.

Press it onto clean, dry skin and the silicone grips on its own. There's no tape to cut and no glue to buy, which keeps the whole thing light and flat under a top. These are the ones to reach for when the outfit leaves no room for a bra: a sheer shirt, a neckline that plunges, a cut where straps would spoil the line. The glitter cross is the point of them, so we'd pair them with something that frames it instead of hiding it.

They also come off and go back on. The decorations are reusable, and they suit every type of breast, so you aren't hunting for the one size that works for you. If the evening stays in, wear them with lingerie. If it doesn't, a mesh or open-knit top lets the glitter do the talking. Either way, give yourself a minute at the mirror before you leave the house to get the placement right.

Measuring up before you buy

Because the width changes along the cross, hold a ruler against your own chest and picture an 8 cm span at the widest point. Then check the 5.7 cm height. If you want to hide a lot of surface, remember this is an accent shape and the coverage follows the cross, not a full round disc. If you're after a plain invisible cover, a different style from our pasties range will serve you better.

Putting them on

Wash the area with mild soap, rinse well and dry it completely. Skip body lotion, oil and heavy sunscreen on that skin, since they stop silicone from gripping. Peel the pastie from its backing, line it up, and press from the centre outward so no creases get trapped. Give it a few seconds to settle before you pull your top on.

To take them off, go slowly. Hold the skin flat with one hand and peel with the other, and use a little warm water if the grip is stubborn. If you've never worn adhesive products, try one on your inner forearm first to see how your skin reacts.

Care

Rinse the pastie in lukewarm water with a drop of mild, unscented soap, then air dry it on a clean surface. Don't scrub the glitter side. Keep it away from lint, hair and dust, which dull the tacky surface, and store it flat on its backing or in a small case. How many wears you get depends a lot on how well you look after it.

How we ship it

Glitter pasties pack flat, so they travel in a plain, unmarked box with nothing printed on the outside to hint at the sparkle inside.
