Hot girls don’t wear bras, they wear CAKES.

At least that’s my motto this summer! I have been a massive fan of the bra alternative brand CAKES Body for years now, but it wasn’t until my most recent beach getaway that I realized my favorite silicone nipple covers could double as bikini buffers.

Summer Starter Kit - The Complete CAKES™ Collection 

CAKES Body Summer Starter Kit includes five of the brand’s bestselling boob solutions for just $99, including the viral CAKES Cleavage™ bra plus Sticky and Grippy CAKES™ covers.

Designed for bikinis, workouts and tricky summer tops, the seamless bundle combines adhesive and adhesive-free options that stay comfortable through heat, sweat and swim days. 

Basically, it’s the hot girl summer survival kit removable bikini pads never wanted you to find!

I typically opt for the brand's best-selling Sticky CAKES, but for this summer, I am turning my attention to the Grippy CAKES. Why? Because removable bathing suit padding is the WORST! (If you know, you know).

The viral nipple covers go by the tagline 'Grippy Not Sticky™!' They are completely adhesive-free and that makes them reusable too. I am insanely impressed by the fact that despite the lack of assumed sticky, these bad boys stay in place simply with friction seamlessly.

I snagged my CAKES during the brands epic sale going on right now that has all bundles up to 30 percent off and an exclusive deal on the brands new Summer Starter Kit - The Complete CAKES™ Collection (which is what I opted for!). 

The set came with five of the brand’s bestselling boob solutions for just $99, including the viral CAKES Cleavage™ bra plus Sticky and Grippy CAKES™ covers. Of course, as I hit the seas in South Carolina this past week is was the famous Grippy's that had my back — or rather boobs.

The brand¿s reusable nipple covers are lightweight, smooth and basically the antidote to removable bikini pad chaos!

What makes CAKES such a standout brand is its commitment to functionality. The Grippy style comes in circles and triangles to fit literally any style, top, dress, or even swimsuit. I paired the seamless silicone circles with my deep-v triangle bikini and was so happy with the results.

Being able to finally ditch the flimsy, creased, and ultimately unsupportive padding that typically comes in bikinis was life-changing. My Grippy CAKES stayed put all day long, and every single one of my friends was impressed when I showed them I ditched padding for good.

I walked, swam, and danced with the Grippy CAKES all day long, and believe me when I say my girls have never been more supported. What I will say is you definitely want to pair them with a secure or tight-fitting top to make sure they stay in place correctly since there is no added adhesive.

Summer just got easier with these genius nipple solutions that make bikinis a breeze.

Users cant't stop shopping the brand that made its Shark Tank debut back in 2023. One said: '"I'm obsessed with the new CAKES triangles! I loved their CAKES OG but needed a solution for my bikinis and deep V tops. I couldn't find anything on the market that would work for a nipple cover until triangles!'

Too hot for bras! I will never suffer through bikini padding ever again after using CAKES.

There’s a reason the internet keeps obsessing over CAKES. Once you experience a bikini top that actually lays smooth without random foam pads folding into origami inside the wash, there’s honestly no going back.
