Tan lines on your wedding day is not exactly the best look. Especially the tiny straps from a bikini or the thick straps of a sports bra. That was me in my wedding photos. Now, it wasn’t extreme (just one day in the sun without sunscreen), but it was enough for my mother-in-law to mention it!
Looking back at the pictures now, I wish I’d worn a strapless in the sun… or known about The Perfect Tan Bikini!
Discover the first chic bikini, innovative enough to stay in place without straps, and put an end to unattractive tan lines.
The results are, well… Perfect
Straps aren’t needed because waterproof adhesive on the inside is activated by heat, keeping the top securely in place. It’s your secret to a perfect tan, no lines allowed!
Intrigued right? I thought so.
When I first learned about this Perfect Bikini I had a lot of questions!
For one, How does an adhesive keep my bikini on? So, the deal is, the bikini top is lined with a patented silicon based adhesive called Stick2U (I’d say that’s a pretty proper name for it!). The Stick2U is activated by your body temperature so the warmer you get in the sun the more it stays in place.
Go strapless in three easy steps.
1. Clean and dry the areas where the adhesive strips will touch your skin.
2. Pull off the protective paper strips that are over the adhesive, but save them for reactivating the adhesive the next time you wear your top.
3. Place the cup over your breast, pressing from the outside first, moving to the center of your torso.
Well that seems simple enough, but…
Then I instantly thought that the adhesive would be an awful mess and hurt like !#$. But in reality it is not a mess, and the pain? I would describe it as more tug than a band aid but less than duct tape. LOL. It’s not terrible. Plus the more you wear it the easier it gets to remove (the first application is the worst).
Which was my next question, can you wear this bikini more than once? What about the adhesive breaking down? So they say that the Perfect Tan Bikini top can be worn approximately 10-15 times (yet to test it out this much – I am still white from the winter!). So after you wear the adhesives out, you can purchase additional adhesive strips to extend the life of your Perfect Tan Bikini. Or, you can always wear it with straps and not use it as a the strapless version!
A Few Hints:
- Use a blow dryer to increase adhesive for initial application
- To reactivate adhesive: reposition protective strips over adhesive, press on with hot iron.
- Remember to save the paper strips. It won’t collect dust and dirt that way!
My review: The suit is well made and a neat idea. But in my opinion this suit is best for smaller breast sizes or implants… I’m just sayin’ it looks cuter! The two little triangles on my natural DD chest looks a bit odd. They offer sizes A-DD and Bottoms XS-XL. I would just wear it with the straps, instead of what it’s made for. Overall, this bikini is great little invention and perfect for the upcoming wedding season – whether it’s your own wedding or you’re in the wedding party!
