If you’ve ever tried to keep a bikini pad or sports bra cup in place while doing anything more than standing still, you know the struggle. They bunch up, shift around, and always make their presence painfully obvious.
When I first heard about CAKES nipple covers being used to replace those flimsy foam cups, I was skeptical. Normally my cups go inside my clothes? It turns out the CAKES founders originally designed the nip covers specifically for workouts and underwater use, so I finally decided to give them a shot. Here’s what I learned:
They stay attached to my body instead of falling out of my clothes
Wearing CAKES: no flower 🌸 outlines or nip slips here! ☝️
And, this is key… I have had the inserts in my sports bra legitimately fall out of my chest at the gym. It was lovely. My bikini cups peek out or show fold lines after ONE use.
When I pulled those flimsy things out and slipped on my CAKES underneath instead, I was genuinely shocked at how comfortable it was. Not only did I not have to worry about losing a cup, but the warmer I got, the better they gripped on.
That's because....
They’re grippy, not sticky
Nipple covers that use adhesives (aka every other brand) cause IRRITATION. It’s not talked about enough—peeling them off at the end of the day, only to find red, irritated skin underneath. I fully gave myself a rash once.
Unlike the sticky mess of traditional covers, CAKES nipple covers grip your skin using your natural body heat. BODY HEAT. They’re made from 100% medical-grade silicone, which means no more irritation or redness. They grip onto your skin using your warmth. It's magic.
They’re waterproof and sweatproof
My old bikini pads soaked up water like a sponge. I used to have to wring them out just to prevent itchiness. When I convinced myself to exercise, I could feel my sports bra get heavier and heavier as it filled up with my sweat. So awesome! 🤢
I thought it wasn’t a big deal that CAKES nipple covers are waterproof, but I am not kidding this changes everything. Whether you’re at the pool, beach, or sweating it out in a fitness class, they stay put. No more uncomfortable, soggy pads.
They’re invisible under absolutely everything

Traditional pads are just too chunky. They bunch up, fold over themselves, and make their presence way too obvious. But with CAKES, it’s like they’re not even there. The design is so seamless that only you know they’re on.
I’m questioning if I even need bras anymore. Honestly, I’m wearing them 24/7 now, and I can’t imagine going back to anything else.
They’re reusable for hundreds of wears
I’d be lucky to get 20 wears out of traditional sticky covers before the adhesive gave out, and I had to shell out more money for a new pair. CAKES are different. These covers are designed to be reused hundreds of times. They’re super easy to clean—just wash with gentle soap and warm water, and they’re good as new.
Honestly, I used to drop 20 bucks on new nipple covers every few months. Do yourself a favor and skip that. Just get CAKES once, and you’ll never have to buy them again.
Bye, janky removable cups <3… Hello, CAKES!
I’m kicking myself for not trying CAKES sooner. I’ve officially tossed out all my janky bikini pads, unreliable sports bra cups, and old sticky covers because they just don’t compare.
Oh, and I forgot to mention. For every order, CAKES donates $1 to breast cancer research, so you can feel good about your purchase in more ways than one.
If you’re still struggling with traditional covers or padding, do yourself a favor and switch to CAKES ASAP (psst… there’s free shipping now!).
