Nipple covers are great when you don’t want to wear a bra with your clothes. However, removing them is one thing that no one likes because they use glue as adhesive. It can be a painful experience that may leave you itchy and red. There is an easy way of how to remove pasties by following the following easy steps:
- Take some oil, whether coconut, almond or olive oil and gently rub around the edges of the pasties.
- Ensure that you apply in plenty and gently massage for it to be absorbed and emulsify the glue.
- Once it is softer, you can gently peel it off.
- You can also remove any residue by applying more oil and rub it on till it wipes off easily.
Please note that this method of removing pasties works for non-reusable covers.
PS: Avoid sleeping in your non-reusable pasties at all costs

How to ensure reusable covers are sticky enough for reusing
Once you use the reusable pasties once, it is likely that the adhesive won’t work if you don’t clean it. Washing it removes the dirt and sweat; hence the adhesive regenerates. Here is an easy way of washing reusable nipple covers:
- Soak the nipple covers in warm water with very mild soap for a minute.
- Gently clean the inner surface using your hands.
- Rinse off the soap and leave them out to air dry.

Taking care of your reusable nipple covers will help them last longer, and you can use them up to 100 times without the adhesive wearing off. Do not scrub or use harsh soap when cleaning since this will scrape off the glue.
And those, ladies and gentlemen, are the best ways to remove nipple covers easily at home regardless of whether you are using one-time covers or reusable nipple covers.
