Abstract:
A method of donning a strapless swimsuit top, said strapless swimsuit top comprising a fabric cup sized to admit a breast, waterproof adhesive co-extensive with said fabric except for a centrally-disposed adhesive-free nipple area, said adhesive-free nipple area being substantially circular and sized at least as large as a nipple, and an adhesive backing sheet removably attached to said waterproof adhesive, said method of donning a strapless swimsuit top comprising the steps of:A. Removing said adhesive backing sheet from said waterproof adhesive; B. Grasping said strapless swimsuit top by a strapless swimsuit top lower edge, and sliding said strapless swimsuit top lower edge upwards over a thorax towards a breast lower surface; C. Positioning said strapless swimsuit top lower edge at an intersection of said thorax and said breast lower surface such that said adhesive-free nipple area is directly below a nipple, and a sufficient distance away from said nipple that when said strapless swimsuit top is rolled up over said breast, said adhesive-free nipple area will coextend with said nipple; D. Rolling said strapless swimsuit top up over said breast, taking care to ensure that said nipple is covered by said adhesive-free nipple area, whereby contact between said waterproof adhesive is avoided, thereby preventing chafing and irritation of said nipple.
