The weather is getting warmer, and some of us can’t help but show off a little skin. If you fall in that category and plan to go strapless, backless or sheer for spring and summer, you’ll need some extra coverage.

Sticky bras and reusable nipple covers provide added coverage (usually more than most pasties) for busts of all sizes, plus they’re easy to pop on and off, whereas strapless bras can be complicated to maneuver and tend to slide down.

Personally, I prefer nipple covers over sticky bras, but in the interest of providing you with a variety of options, we’ve rounded up a handful off bestselling, reusable stick-on bras and nipple covers available at Amazon, Walmart and other retailers.
See more below.
Amazon
Nippies Nipple Cover – Sticky Adhesive Silicone Nipple Pasties
Topping the list are Nippies Nipple Covers. These bestselling, reusable nipple covers are No. 1 at Amazon with over 30,000 customer ratings and a 4.5 out of stars. The nipple covers provide all-day coverage with super-hold adhesive. They’re available in sizes small (for A-C cups) and large (for D+ cups) in five different shades including caramel, coco, crème, espresso and hazelnut.
“Life-changing nip wizardry,” one excited shopper wrote on Amazon. “These magical circles of wonder have transformed my wardrobe game and saved me from countless wardrobe malfunctions. Move over, regular bras – sticky nipple covers are here to steal the show!”
Another shopper added, “The first thing I do when I get home and settle in for the evening is take off my shoes and my bra. Bras are torture devices. And I’m not even large breasted! But I don’t want to be all nipply so these are the perfect solution. They offer no support, they just hide the headlight effect. They are washable, reusable, lightweight and are invisible under clothes. Just the right amount of stickiness to adhere to skin. I think they’re great.”

Perkies Petals Nipple Covers
Perkies Petals has been a favorite of mine for more than a year now. I’ve tested them out in all cold, cool and extremely hot climates and at different times of year (summer through spring) and they always hold up.
“A must have! Wore these with a sheer-ish formal dress and they were absolutely perfect,” wrote one satisfied shopper. “I felt confident and covered all night. I will 100% be bringing them with me on every trip.. clean, supportive, and comes with a travel case! As essential as sunscreen!”
The reusable, silicone nipple covers are available in light, medium and dark nude and can be worn for up to 8 hours at a time (they’ll even stay put in sweltering heat). Perkies donates five percent of its sales to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Amazon
Wingslove Adhesive Bra Reusable Strapless Self Silicone Push-up Invisible Sticky Bras for Backless Dress (Beige,A)
Wingslove is another brand that we’ve tested, and a top-seller at Amazon. This is a decent choice if you’re looking for a budget adhesive bra, but it’s not going to last you in the long run. On the plus side, Wingslove bras are easy to take off and they’re available in 10 shades including beige, black, brown, coco, coffee, nude and pink/orange.
The Alki’I Adhesive Push Up Bra is another Amazon find under $20. It’s available in sizes A-F and provides nipple coverage and lift.

Created and produced by Midtopia, a Wichita-based artist and music-worker collective striving to build new models for the music industry, the new event will aim to build community and opportunity for musicians and music workers in the Midwest and be held June 21-22.
Trending on Billboard
“Midtopia was created to serve a need in Wichita, but really applies, well, elsewhere,” says Midtopia CEO and director Jessie Hartke in a release. “There are so many talented artists and music workers alike, and such wonderful local scenes, but industry support is really lacking and systematically flawed.”
The event will take place across local Wichita venues with one free stage open to the public. In addition to music and panel discussions, there will also be various art experiences, an immersive light and sound stage, and will act as a platform for community-based artists of all kinds.
Killer Mike will lead the conference with a discussion on freedom of expression, while speakers from City Winery, Stand Together, No Depression, Berklee College of Music, Union Stage, Primary Wave and more will share their experiences and best practices for those in the music industry.
Midtopia is on a mission to keep admission prices low in order to allow musicians as well as practicing and potential career music workers the opportunity for one-on-one meetings with industry professionals. Other participating organizations include Empower North End, Learning Lab Wichita, The Phoenix and Create Campaign, with local entrepreneur and philanthropist Chase Koch’s support.
“Midtopia is an opportunity to reimagine the traditional industry structure and its ability to positively impact society, and create a new framework that puts artists and music workers first,” added Hartke. “We want to do the same thing with Elsewhere and create a new kind of music event that is truly built to support the community and artists, both local and from afar.”

While Sunday (April 14) was the coldest night of the first weekend of Coachella 2024 — with many attendees keeping warm by wrapping themselves in silver emergency blankets — you wouldn’t have known it by looking at Doja Cat. Closing out the festival as its Sunday night headliner, the rapper performed a lot of her […]
Kesha overhauled the opening lyric of her 2009 breakthrough hit, “Tik Tok,” when she joined Reneé Rapp on stage at Coachella on Sunday (April 14). The song famously name-drops Diddy, who faces sexual assault and abuse allegations and whose homes were recently raided in connection with a federal sex-trafficking investigation.

In the original recording of “Tik Tok,” off of Kesha’s Animals album, she sings: “Wake up in the mornin’ feelin’ like P. Diddy/ Grab my glasses, I’m out the door, I’m gonna hit this city.”
Trending on Billboard
During Rapp’s set at the Indio, California, festival Sunday, Kesha was warmly introduced as a special guest (and also as “the hottest person on the Earth”).
Kesha arrived on stage and launched into a 2024 version of “Tik Tok,” singing: “Wake up in the mornin’ like, ‘F— P. Diddy.’” Rapp yelled this out with Kesha, with both pop stars giving the middle finger at the same time.
And just in case anyone thought they misheard that lyric, Kesha made it loud and clear with a tweet following her surprise appearance at the fest.
WAKE UP IN THE MORNING LIKE FUCK P DIDDY— kesha (@KeshaRose) April 15, 2024
“WAKE UP IN THE MORNING LIKE F— P DIDDY,” Kesha wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Sunday night.
Rapp and Kesha have previously shared the stage, performing the latter’s “Your Love Is My Drug” in Brooklyn in November. “Getting to sing with one of your idols, who is unapologetically perfect, is so insane,” gushed Rapp, who at the time said Kesha was one of the artists “who shaped who I was as a kid, and made me want to be sexy, and funny, and exciting, and outrageous, and loud and, most of all, really f—ing sexy.”
“Tik Tok” was first released in 2009 and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 2010, spending nine weeks at No. 1.

Over the past years, Coachella has been committed to integrating regional Mexican music into its lineup, with previous performers including Banda MS, Grupo Firme, Natanael Cano and Los Tucanes de Tijuana. This year, among the música mexicana stars were Peso Pluma and Carin León, both making their Coachella debut this year — a nod to the genre’s continued global and mainstream rise.
On Sunday (April 14), before León took the main stage around 5:30 p.m. to chants of “Carin, Carin,” a video played showing images of the singer face-to-face with a potent lion who runs wild across a desert. The ferocious animal is then immortalized onstage with a massive wooden-shaped lion wearing a tejana (cowboy hat) erected in the background.
Trending on Billboard
The sun was beginning to set in Indio, Calif., when León took the stage, and it was the perfect vibe for his soulful tunes and tremendous vocals that roared across the desert and pulled spectators that perhaps had never heard of the Sonora-born artist. With his live band — consisting of more than 20 musicians that played the tuba, accordion, guitars and drums, among other instruments — León didn’t hold back in his performance, understanding the significance of this moment on the main stage.
“Viva México chingada madre,” he said, extra prideful of being Mexican, and representing a genre that has long been a backbone of Latin music. “Dónde están dolidos (Where are those who are hurting)?” he asked, setting the tone for a set that could mend broken hearts. He began singing the hits early on, not wanting to waste a minute, from “Me La Aventé” to “Te Lo Agradezco,” “Corazón de Oro” and his bilingual country song with Kane Brown, “The One (Pero No Como Yo).”
It didn’t take long for León to get ahold of a Mexican flag, which he held onto tightly. He then burst into the hip-swiveling “Que Vuelvas,” his collab with Grupo Frontera. Of course, it was a perfect opportunity for him to showcase his mesmerizing dance moves that have now become a staple at his shows. The irresistible huapango “La Boda del Huitlacoche” followed, which inspired a massive sing-along, and fans couldn’t help but show off their zapateado moves, literally dancing up a storm in the desert.
He transitioned to rock en español with a spot-on cover of Hombres G’s “Te Quiero.” And after that, he brought out Mau y Ricky for “Llorar y Llorar,” marking the duo’s first time at Coachella. Nearing the end of his almost 50-minute set, he winded down with a fan-favorite, “Si Una Vez,” honoring one of the greats, Selena Quintanilla, and then went on to perform “Primera Cita.”
“Thank you for this first time,” he said before stepping off the stage. “Arriba la raza, arriba Coachella, but more than anything, arriba la música.” He closed with the hit song “Según Quién,” his 2023 collab with Maluma.
Other Latin artists who performed at Coachella this year included Young Miko, Bizarrap, Santa Fe Klan, Ludmilla and J Balvin, who was night three’s pre-headliner (just before headliner Doja Cat).
León is also set to also make his Stagecoach debut on Friday, April 26.
