Are you sick and tired of dealing with those removable bra pad inserts in sports bras? They inevitably come out in the wash and need to be crammed back in through a tiny hole. Or they get folded over, leaving permanent crease marks that are visible through your clothing. Fortunately, there’s a better option! This is my honest Cakes Body review. I discuss CAKES’ design features and how they compare with other silicone nipple covers on Amazon.
I tried the CAKES Body Nipple Covers for 30 days and compared them to Amazon nipple covers and shared my HONEST thoughts in this CAKES Body review video. Watch to see the comparison with Amazon nipple covers as I try them on with multiple different outfits!

Ok, there is a reason why CAKES nipple covers have flooded your social media. First off, they were on Shark Tank, and secondly, it’s because they work!
I have personally tried over a handful of different silicone nipple covers and yes, they’ll get the job done once but then lose their stickiness and start to fall off in the middle of wearing them. Or they are just downright uncomfortable. If you’re like me and lose your confidence if anything you’re wearing is uncomfortable or you begin to have a wardrobe malfunction, then you need CAKES covers! These silicone nipple covers plastered my social media for months before I finally decided to buy them. And let me tell you now, I regret not getting these sooner and from the start. They are worth it!
I am a size 34B so not super busty or perky and don’t like not having some extra padding. So I was always relying on the removable bra pads in sports bras. If you have the same problem as I do with those things falling out with every wash, getting folded and wrinkled and losing their shape, then they are probably driving you just as crazy as they drive me!
My goal with the CAKES when I purchased them was to test them in place of the removable pads so then I could just get rid of them altogether. Come to find out, this is what they were designed for in the first place!
When taking the CAKES out of their beautiful packaging for the first time, they were soft and smooth and felt just like skin! I slipped them inside my sports bra and put them to the test. I was thrilled to find that they’re completely Pilates friendly! With the grippy, not sticky design, they adhere to your skin with your body heat. Needless to say, they gripped in place through an entire workout and I completely forgot I was even wearing them!
CAKES are two times larger than other nipple covers, making them completely seamless. You can wear them under a sports bra, swimsuit, dresses, even a white shirt, and you won’t see them! They even work over piercings.
Furthermore, you can easily rinse and wash CAKES with water. The silicone dries very fast, so you can continue to wear them throughout your day.
To top it all off, CAKES Body is a small female-owned business that supports women’s health causes. They donate $1 from every order to breast cancer research. What’s more, shipping is free on all US orders, making CAKES even sweeter!
I have officially replaced all the annoying removable pads with CAKES Nipple Covers—and you should too!
CAKES covers are “grippy, not sticky,” and they conform to your skin using your body’s natural heat with a simple stick and press. In fact, they actually get more grippy the warmer they get. They don’t use any irritating adhesives, making them super gentle on your skin. I don’t even notice when I am wearing CAKES nipple covers because they feel so incredibly freeing.
These nipple covers are meant to be worn with snug tops, so my CAKES have come in clutch with bodysuits, bikinis or swimsuits, sports bras, tank tops, and bodycon dresses. I can honestly say you will begin to consider buying a second set!
CAKES uses 100% medical-grade silicone, which is naturally non-toxic and hypoallergenic, so it’s extremely gentle on your skin. Additionally, CAKES are third-party tested, giving you peace of mind that the product is high quality and safe.
CAKES Covers are reusable and washable, so you can wear them literally hundreds of times! Just wash them with gentle soap after each use, rinse with warm water, and pat dry.
Unlike some other nipple covers, CAKES are not sticky—they’re “grippy”! CAKES Covers adhere to your skin with your body heat.
Yes! CAKES were originally designed to be worn during exercise. They’re sweat resistant and waterproof, so you can wear them during intense, sweaty workouts and even in the pool.
CAKES Body nipple covers are available in three sizes, ranging from 8 cm to 13 cm in diameter. (Note: CAKES Body recommends sizing down if you find they’re not gripping properly.) Plus, the new CAKES triangles are one size fits most! (Use code KAYLAB to save 10% on your CAKES Body order!)
Nope! CAKES nipple covers come in a wide range of size options and have a super-tapered edge for no-show coverage. Bonus—they give a nice, rounded shape and add a little bit of lift!
In my experience, the nipple covers on Amazon are thinner, so they’re less smooth, and their smaller size means they aren’t as seamless as CAKES. Plus the Amazon nipple covers use adhesive that is so sticky it’s like glue. This New York Times CAKES Body review calls CAKES Covers “a cut above” and I wholeheartedly agree!
Still not convinced? Here are some silicone nipple covers to check out on Amazon so you can do your own comparison and see the CAKES difference for yourself!
Nippies Nipple Covers are reusable silicone pasties that use a sweat and water-resistant adhesive to stick to your skin. They are easy to put on and peel off, and consistently proven to stay in place for up to 12 hours. Nippies come in two sizes and five shades to match your skin tone. Available in “original,” “extra,” and “with lift.”
Go Nipless silicone nipple covers use medical-grade silicone and feature an ultra-thin lightweight design. They stay comfortably in place with a gentle washable adhesive for up to eight hours. One size fits A-DD cups. These cream-colored nipple covers work with any skin tone, and the matte finish eliminates reflection. Wash and reuse up to 30 times.
NEATS nipple covers provide an ultra precise nipple coverage. Their medical-grade silicone and the inner adhesive used both have official SGS certifications, making them ideal for skin contact. Available in two sizes and five colors, their unique shade will blend seamlessly into your body using ultra thin edges. The set includes pasties, clothing tapes, shells, pads, and a travel case.
Having tried numerous other brands of nipple covers, CAKES quite honestly takes the cake (pun intended!). Although they cost a little more than other brands, their quality, durability, comfort, and invisibility make them worth the hype. If you want to feel more confident, sexy, and not have to worry about a wardrobe malfunction, CAKES are the answer. Use my CAKES Body discount code, KAYLAB, to save 10% on Cakesbody.com!
