Default Pasties - not the Greggs kind - questions!

OK - did the workshop, bought the pasties....but don't have anything to affix them with.

So, four questions:

a) what's the preferred brand/method of affixing said pasties
b) is there a pain free way to get them off (does one rip or peel?!)
c) I have quite flat nipples and don't go all the way to the end of my pastie - who makes flatter (and bigger) pasties?
d) is there an insider's tip on how to use the tape? One big bit? lots of little bits?!

Sorry - am sounding like the enthusiastic amateur that I am

you'll never know til you ask so dont worry!

I prefer to use double sided tape rather than tit tape, good old 99p a roll scotchtape! I use smaller bits around the edge of the pastie and always peel instead of rip afterwards, oh and I make my own pasties so I cant advise there! Hope that helps

Pasties should be available in different diametres to cover different sized busts/nipples...

Some designs fro example will be listed and then "available in 2", 2.5", 3" diametre"...

Try double sided tape (toupee tape is the best for twirling) and spirit gum/copydex and see which suits you best
Pain in taking them off depends on your own threshold, I think
It doesn't really matter how well you fill your pasties, it doesn't affect how they fit. Most pastie makers will make you pasties in whatever size you wish, and probably make them less conical if you ask
Use little bits of tape around the outside or paste the glue around the outside edge. Don't affix the pasties straight across your nipple - you'll only hurt yourself when you take them off!

I use liquid latex (eye lash glue). They come off without ripping the top layer of the skin and you can peel off the used latex from your pasties. Just make sure you let the latex get tacky before you pop it on. You can get latex at any costume shop. I will also recommend spirit gum. It's used for affixing fake beards and moustaches.

P.S. Make sure your boobs are clean, in other words, no lotion, oil, glitter, etc if and when you use liquid latex or spirit gum to adhere your pasties.

normal double sided sticky tape is much more sticky than tit tape!
but as you said, pain factor with removal.
I find leaving them on all night then taking them off the next morning works best with the sweat disolving the glue a bit.
If i rip them off I have red lines on my nips. like.. go fast stripes on crap cars.

I use toupee tape (ebay) and it keeps them on really well! One thing I would say is be very careful that the tape doesnt go beyond the edge of the pastie at all/avoid gaps, or the tassel can occasionally get stuck! (thankfully I realised this during practice!) xxx
