How to Apply and Remove Pasties for a Secure Fit

Quick answer

For a secure fit, apply pasties to clean, dry skin and press firmly for 15 seconds. To remove, gently peel from the outer edge while holding your skin taut, then cleanse the area to remove any adhesive residue.

Step-by-step guide to applying and removing pasties

1. Step 1: Clean and dry the area: Wash the skin where you'll place the pasties with mild soap and water, then pat dry completely. Avoid using lotions, oils, or powders beforehand. Even a trace of moisturizer can cause the adhesive to fail.
2. Step 2: Position and press firmly: Peel the pasty from its backing and place it over your nipple. Press down from the center outward, holding for about 15 seconds to activate the adhesive. Rushing this step can lead to lifting edges during wear.
3. Step 3: Remove gently with oil: When ready to remove, apply a small amount of oil (like coconut or baby oil) around the edge of the pasty. Slowly peel it away while holding your skin taut with your other hand. Never yank the pasty off—this can irritate sensitive skin.
4. Step 4: Clean and store for reuse: If the pasty has a reusable adhesive, wash it gently with mild soap and cool water, then let it air dry on its backing sheet. Store flat in a cool, dry place. Heat and humidity can degrade the adhesive over time.
