How Long Do Sticky Bras Last?

Short answer: a good sticky bra or set of adhesive inserts lasts dozens of wears if you clean it. Veluna Pop inserts are reusable for 40+ wears with care.

What wears out

The cup doesn't wear out. The adhesive does, slowly, and mostly because of dirt: skin oil, lint, makeup and deodorant coat the surface.

How to make it last

• Wash the adhesive after every wear with warm water and mild soap
• Air dry face up, never towel dry
• Put the cover film back on before storing
• Store flat in its case, away from heat

Signs it's time to replace

• It won't grip even after washing and fully drying
• The adhesive feels dry or grainy
• Edges have started to lift permanently

Cost per wear

A $39.99 2-pack of Pop at 40+ wears each comes to well under a dollar a wear.
