The secret of the stickiness of silicone breast stickers, firmly adhere to the skin without falling off
In the fashion industry, silicone breast stickers have become a must-have item for many women, especially in some special occasions, such as wearing strapless or backless clothes, it can perfectly replace traditional underwear and show women’s elegance and confidence. However, the stickiness of silicone breast stickers is the key factor that determines its use effect. This article will explore in depth the stickiness principle of silicone breast stickers, the factors affecting stickiness, and how to maintain and enhance its stickiness, to help you understand how to make silicone breast stickers firmly adhere to the skin.
1. The stickiness principle of silicone breast stickers
The reason why silicone breast stickers can fit firmly on the skin mainly depends on their unique material properties and design structure. Silicone is a material with excellent physical and chemical properties. It consists of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms to form a main chain, and two organic groups are usually attached to the silicon atom. This molecular structure gives silicone good flexibility, elasticity and biocompatibility.
When the silicone breast sticker contacts the skin, the sticky layer on its surface will form a physical adsorption effect with the skin. This adsorption force mainly comes from the van der Waals force between the silicone molecules and the molecules on the skin surface. At the same time, the silicone material itself has a certain viscosity, which can fit closely with the skin under pressure to form a relatively closed space. In this space, the air is discharged, which further enhances the adsorption force between the breast patch and the skin, so that the breast patch can be stably attached to the chest and will not fall off easily even during physical activities.
In addition, the surface energy of silicone is relatively high, which enables it to better interact with the oil, moisture, etc. on the skin surface, increase the contact area and adhesion strength. Some high-quality silicone breast patches also add special viscosity enhancers, such as bio-glue, etc. to the material. These additives can further improve the viscosity of the breast patch, so that it can maintain a good fit effect in various environments.
2. Factors affecting the viscosity of silicone breast patches
(I) Material quality
The viscosity of silicone breast patches depends first on the quality of the silicone material used. High-quality silicone has better molecular uniformity and surface activity, and can provide stronger adhesion. For example, silicone using methyl vinyl polysiloxane as the base polymer increases the interaction and adhesion between molecules due to the presence of vinyl, making silicone have a certain self-adhesiveness. In addition, adding acidic oxide silica as a reinforcing filler can improve the mechanical properties of rubber, such as strength and hardness. At the same time, the surface of silica has a certain activity, which can interact with other molecules, increase the viscosity and thixotropy of the system, and play a role in thickening and enhancing self-adhesion.
However, inferior silicone may have insufficient viscosity due to problems such as uneven molecular structure and high impurity content, and may even be prone to degumming during use. Therefore, choosing high-quality silicone materials is the basis for ensuring the stickiness of breast patches.
(II) Design structure
The design structure of breast patches also has an important influence on viscosity. Some breast patches use special adhesive designs, such as rabbit ear adhesives and arc adhesives. These structures can increase the contact area and fit when the breast patches come into contact with the skin, and further stabilize the fit of the breast patches on the chest. In addition, whether the shape and size of the breast patches conform to ergonomic principles will also affect their viscosity. For example, a breast patch designed according to the natural curve of a woman’s chest can better fit the chest contour and reduce the possibility of edge lift, thereby improving the overall adhesion effect.
(III) Usage and maintenance methods
The correct use and maintenance methods are the key to maintaining the stickiness of silicone breast stickers. Before use, make sure that the chest skin is clean and dry to avoid grease, sweat, etc. that affect the stickiness of the breast stickers. After use, the breast stickers should be cleaned in time to remove dirt and residue on the surface. When cleaning, a mild detergent should be used to clean it in a gentle circular motion. Avoid using hard objects such as brushes and nails to rub it hard to avoid damaging the glue layer of the breast stickers and reducing the viscosity.
In addition, the storage method of the breast stickers will also affect its stickiness. The breast stickers that have been cleaned and completely dried should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environments to prevent the silicone material from aging or deforming and affecting its stickiness.
(IV) Skin condition
The condition of the skin will also affect the stickiness of the silicone breast stickers. If there is too much grease, sweat or dirt on the skin surface, it will hinder the close fit between the breast stickers and the skin and reduce the stickiness. Therefore, before using the breast stickers, it is recommended to use a mild cleaning product to clean the chest skin and gently wipe it dry with a clean towel. For women with oily skin, more frequent cleaning may be required to maintain good adhesion of the breast patch.
In addition, the dryness of the skin will also affect the adhesion. Excessively dry skin may increase the friction between the breast patch and the skin, which may easily cause the breast patch to shift or fall off. In this case, you can apply some moisturizing products on the skin to keep the skin moderately moist, which will help improve the fit of the breast patch.
III. Methods to enhance the adhesion of silicone breast patches
(I) Choose the right breast patch
In order to ensure that the silicone breast patch has good adhesion, you must first choose a product with reliable quality. When purchasing, you can check the material description and brand reputation of the product, and give priority to breast patches made of high-quality silicone materials. For example, some well-known brands of silicone breast patches, such as the American Bristols Six nippies skin invisible silicone breast patch, are popular in the market for their super strong adhesion and ultra-thin and traceless design.
In addition, it is also very important to choose the right size and style of breast patch according to your breast shape and size. The right breast patch can better fit the chest curve, give full play to its adhesive advantages, and avoid poor fit or discomfort caused by inappropriate size.
(ii) Proper cleaning and maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance are the key to maintaining the stickiness of silicone breast stickers. After each use, the breast stickers should be cleaned with warm water and neutral detergent in time. Put the breast stickers in warm water, hold the cup with one hand, put a little warm water and detergent in the cup, and then gently rub it clean with the palm of your hand in a circular motion. After cleaning, rinse the detergent with warm water, gently shake off excess water, and dry the breast stickers. During the drying process, the inner side of the cup should be facing up and avoid direct sunlight to prevent the silicone material from aging.
In addition, it is also necessary to deep clean and disinfect the breast stickers regularly. You can use a special breast sticker cleaner or a diluted white vinegar solution for soaking and cleaning to remove stubborn stains and bacteria on the surface of the breast stickers and maintain the hygiene and stickiness of the breast stickers.
(iii) Use auxiliary products
In some cases, some auxiliary products can be used to enhance the stickiness of silicone breast stickers. For example, applying a small amount of medical glue or special adhesive between the breast patch and the skin can further improve the adhesion of the breast patch and make it fit more firmly on the chest. However, it should be noted that when using auxiliary products, the product instructions should be followed to avoid excessive use that may cause skin allergies or damage to the breast patch.
In addition, there are some care products on the market that are specially designed to enhance the adhesion of breast patches, such as adhesive enhancement sprays for breast patches. These products can form a protective film on the surface of the breast patch, increase its adhesion and durability, and extend the service life of the breast patch.
IV. Application and adhesion requirements of silicone breast patches in different scenarios
(I) Daily wear
