We’ve all been there—struggling to find a quick fix for unexpected nipple show-through before a big event or important meeting. Sticky nipple covers seemed like the perfect solution, keeping everything smooth and discreet. But if you’re noticing discomfort or irritation after wearing them, you’re not alone.
Here’s the sticky truth: most nipple covers use strong adhesives that might stay put, but those adhesives can sometimes be rough on sensitive skin. Wearers commonly experience redness, itching, irritation, and inflammation.
Realizing that I wanted a more skin-friendly option without sacrificing hold, I started searching for a gentler alternative.
Enter CAKES: The Gentle Revolution

When I discovered CAKES nipple covers, it was like a breath of fresh air. These innovative covers use a "grippy, not sticky" approach that's changing the game for people like us who want seamless coverage without unnecessary skin stress.
Here's why CAKES has become my new obsession:
- 100% Silicone Grip: No harsh adhesives here! CAKES covers use your body heat to create a gentle, secure grip under tight fitting tops without the awful sticky feeling.
- Seamless Design: With tapered edges, these covers virtually disappear under even the tightest of tops – no seams showing here!
- Sweat and Waterproof: From hot yoga to pool parties, CAKES has got you covered. Even with the most rigorous of workouts, my CAKES stay put no matter how much I sweat. They’re designed to handle sweat and water without budging, so you can go about your day without constantly checking for slip-ups.
- Reusable and Eco-Friendly: A quick wash with gentle soap and water, and they're ready to use again and again. Talk about sustainable!
- Size Inclusive: CAKES are available in sizes from AA to DDD+, because everyone deserves comfortable coverage.
My CAKES Story

The first time I wore my CAKES covers, I was honestly skeptical. How could something without adhesive possibly stay put? But as I went about my day – running errands, attending pilates classes, and even breaking a sweat during an impromptu dance session – I realized something amazing: I had completely forgotten I was wearing them.
No itching, no discomfort, and most importantly, no NFO (Nipple Freak Out, as the CAKES team calls it). Just smooth, comfortable coverage that lets me focus on living my life instead of constantly adjusting or worrying about my chest.
More Than Just Nipple Covers

What really sealed the deal for me was learning that CAKES is more than just a product – it's a full-on movement. As a female-founded company, they donate $1 from each purchase to women's causes and female-focused charities. It's rare to find a brand that not only solves a problem but does so with integrity and a commitment to giving back (and I am obsessed).
Make the Switch
If you’re looking for a comfortable, skin-friendly alternative to traditional sticky nipple covers, it's time to give CAKES a try. At $30 with free shipping, it's an investment in both comfort and long-term wearability. Believe me, once you switch, you’ll wonder how you ever went without them.
