Kinesiology tape is designed to both move with the skin and provide support, according to Healthline. Its flexibility and skin-friendly features make it perfect for bra hacks. Ever pass up a gorgeous top or dress because you didn't want to invest in yet another special bra? Forget that life. Grab a roll of k-tape and a pair of scissors; then buy all the bandeaus!
A product reviewer told InStyle the hack "worked wonderfully" and added that their bra "stayed put all day and night in 98-degree temps." A video from Push Up Tape shows various ways to configure bra tape, but it's also okay to go off-script and follow your intuition. Most applications begin the same way: Simply hold your breasts where you'd like them. Next, depending on the cut and silhouette of the garment, apply your first strips of supportive k-tape.
Do this by placing one end of the tape under the breast, smoothing in an upward motion, and ending by anchoring the strip above the breast. Finally, add additional tape strips — vertically and horizontally — to sculpt the desired silhouette, as shown in a tutorial by Kit Undergarments. Heads up: Before you get creative, you should do a spot test on your skin first, according to Byrdie.
K-tape comes in various skin tones, and one roll goes a long way. So keep a roll on hand and add a few strips to your handbag for any fashion oopsies!
