4. Making Your Own Adhesive Bra & Body Lift Shapes
Given the vast differences from one body to another, we cannot give specific instruction on how to apply your Sculpt499 Body Tape to each part of the body.
But we have simplified it with a few tips and pointers to get you started.
To keep things as simple as possible, we've narrowed the process down to 2 general rules of thumb.
1. Anywhere that you can pull your skin with your hands to get the look you want...
You can do the same using Sculpt499 to hold it there.
(e.g. If you can flatten your tummy by using your hands to pull your excess skin from the sides towards your back, then use a piece of tape in the same manner to pull the skin to each side and fix it to your back)
2. Apply your shape so that the tape's stretch direction follows the natural stretch direction of your skin.
(e.g. when using on your butt, the stretch direction should be vertical to allow flexibility when bending or sitting)
The following are just some of the other known uses for Sculpt499 - Breast Lift & Full Body Sculpting Tape:
-
Tummy Tuck: Some people may have success by pulling the skin horizontally from the sides towards the back, while others may get a better result by directly pulling the belly vertically up or down.
-
Thigh Gap: Pull the excess skin from the inner thigh towards the outer, again different body types will require varied application. Usually pulling from the inner thigh to the back will get results. However, some people may find better results by pulling forward.
-
Thigh Lift: Pulling your upper thigh skin up towards your hip can help remove those knee wrinkles when wearing shorts or skirts above the knees.
-
Hide a Muffin Top or Back Fat: Everyone will have their own individual requirements for this, just use your hands to pull your skin around in different directions, when you find the best result, just replicate the same action with some Sculpt499 Body Tape.
These are just a few ideas to get you started, If you have discovered another great use that works for you, we'd love to hear about it!

5. Preparing your skin for the Best Adhesion
Preparation is very simple, follow these guidelines and your Sculpt499 Tape will hold you in place for as long as you need it to.
-
Most importantly, ensure your skin is Clean & Dry (Completely free of oils, moisturisers, make up, sun tan lotion etc)
-
You can apply some make up products after you have applied your tape (try to avoid getting it on the tape as some oil based skin products may dissolve the adhesive)
-
Use protective patches for use on sensitive areas (e.g. nipple covers for breasts or similar adhesive patch for piercings, cover open wounds with adhesive wound dressing patch ie. band aid)
-
Limit touching the adhesive (The tape will only stick once, use small pinch grips only where you absolutely must)
6. Removing your Breast & Body Tape
For most people, removal of your Sculpt499 Body Tape should be painless, but we do have a few tips in case you experience some discomfort.
-
Olive oil or an organic skin oil product will assist to dissolve the adhesive, just coat the tape fabric and allow it to soak up the oil. The adhesive should begin to dissolve after a few minutes.
-
Hold the skin taught and use the palm of your hand to roll the tape off the skin.
-
Remove slowly in the bath or shower.
-
Go slowly, don't rip it off.
7. Storing your Tape for Long Life
Like everything else on Earth, there are 3 main natural elements that will break down your Sculpt499 Tape during long periods of storage, these are:
-
Sunlight
-
Moisture
-
Oxygen
Your Sculpt499 Tape will last for years if you simply put it in a clip seal bag or wrap in cling film, put it back in its original box and store in a dry dark place.
Always keep it in a roll, Never fold it for storage
We want you to get the best value from your Sculpt499 Tape as possible, so even if you only use it once or twice a year, your tape will be ready when you need it for years to come if you take the time to store it correctly.
When cut and fitted correctly, the tape should be quite comfortable to wear and should not be too restrictive to movement.
If you experience excessive pulling of the skin or restrictive discomfort when fitted,
then the stretch direction may be incorrect creating potential for skin irritation or injury.
Remove and replace accordingly with a new piece of 'SCULPT 499' tape.
While skin reactions/allergies to this product are uncommon, there is potential for a handful of people to have skin reactions to
these types of products. If you are usually susceptible to skin reactions or allergies when in contact with adhesives, tape
or skin products in general, we highly recommend cutting a small patch for test purposes before applying over large areas for long periods.
DO NOT USE:
-
Over sunburn, peeling skin, rashes or any other skin abnormalities.
-
A hairdryer or any other type of heating tool at all to aid adhesion.
-
Over open wounds or body piercings.
-
While pregnant or breastfeeding.
-
Directly on genitals.
-
During sleep.
-
Daily. (Product not intended as a substitute for regular underwear)
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
-
Wearing a small test piece of tape (for 1 hour) to test for allergies or skin reactions 24 hours prior to full usage.
-
Using for shorter periods to begin with e.g. 2-3 hours first time, then 4-5 hours etc.
-
Using nipple protective covers for use on breasts.
-
The use of olive oil to help remove tape.
-
Slow and gentle removal, ripping it off too fast could cause injury.
-
Occasional use only.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read thoroughly before using this product.
Optimal Stretch Direction - This tape is designed to stretch primarily along the length with very little stretch across its width,
When designing your shapes, use the stretch in the same direction that you intend to pull the tape when applying it to your skin.
e.g. For breast lift: Optimal stretch direction should be vertical (up & down).
This ensures adequate flexibility and will prevent unnecessary friction against the skin.
