Pastease Retro Stripes on Purple Petal Pasties

The stripes do the work. These Pastease petal pasties are purple underneath, with colorful retro stripes layered over the top, and the combination reads as 1970s before you've said a word. They measure 3 inches by 3 inches, with 2.2 inches of coverage, so the petal shape extends past the nipple area and the stripes have room to show.

Put them on like any peel-and-stick pasty. Start with clean, dry skin, peel off the backing, and press from the center outward. The adhesive is medical-grade and latex free, so it holds without needing tape. Once they're on, the petals curve outward, and the stripes run across them in bright bands against the purple. They're built for music festivals, retro outfits and bold summer looks.

The maker's pitch is groovy color and a playful, modern take on vintage style, and it fits. Pair them with high-waisted bottoms, a pair of platforms, and a flowing jacket, and the look comes together. They also work as a statement under a sheer top, where the stripes show through. Nothing about them is subtle, and nothing about them is meant to be.

Think about the rest of the outfit before you commit. Stripes in bright colors on a purple base work best with simple clothes underneath and around them: black bottoms, denim, a plain jacket, or a plain bodysuit. If you add patterned pieces, the whole look can get busy fast. Let the pasties be the loud part and keep the rest calm, and the 70s palette will look deliberate and not accidental.

If you're wearing them for a long day, put them on after you've showered and dried off completely, since any dampness works against the adhesive. Take a moment to check the edges in the mirror before you go out, and press down anything that looks lifted. The petal shape has more edge than a plain round cover, so it rewards a careful first press.

Picking your option

There's one design here, so the choice is about whether the size suits your chest and your outfit. The dimensions are 3 inches by 3 inches, and the coverage is 2.2 inches. Hold a ruler against your chest to picture how far that reaches. The petal edge will extend past the nipple, which makes for a more decorative look. If you'd like a smaller cover that disappears under clothes, a plain skin-tone round will do that better than a bold stripe.

Care

Adhesive pasties do best on clean, dry skin with no lotion, oil or sunscreen. Press from the center outward and smooth the edges. If your skin is sensitive, try one on your forearm first and watch for redness. Remove slowly, supporting your skin with your other hand, and use warm water to ease off any stubborn adhesive. Store them flat in their packaging, away from heat and dust.
