PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Q. What comes with my pasties order?

In the box, you receive:
    • Your pasties
    • A bag of spare rhinestones (in case you need to repair them in future)
    • 2 pieces of pastie tape (to adhere the pasties to your body)
    • Free Boom-Boom Pasties/Chica Boom-Boom stickers to show off our brand
    • A heartfelt thank you note, handwritten by Chica Boom-Boom (owner of Boom-Boom Pasties)

    Q. How do I stick the pasties to my body?

    You will need to purchase an adhesive to place on the back of the pastie to adhere to your body. We recommend doing a skin reaction test with your chosen adhesive before trialing it with your pasties.

    We recommend using pastie tape (which is also sold as wig tape) for any first-time pastie user. These can be purchased from burlesque dance studios or online stores. We use Walker Tape's Super Stick in Contour C as our sample tape.

    Other recommendations for adhesives are:

      • Spirit gum and spirit gum remover
      • Double-sided carpet tape from hardware stores
      • Double-sided tape from pharmacies/beauty stores

      Q. Do you sell adhesives for pasties?

      Boom-Boom Pasties provides a sample of pastie tape with your order however we currently don't have a supplier to provide this as a product on our website.
