Understand the wear time. Breast petals aren't meant to be worn long term, and most brands recommend a period of 4 to 8 hours.

Study nonadhesive breast petals, which are designed to be worn multiple times and can be easily washed and reused.

Consider your breast size. Most breast petals are one size fits all. Designs that are too small may not completely shield the area and larger designs may be noticeable under sheer clothing or feel uncomfortable.

Test for skin sensitivity by looking for breast petals labeled hypoallergenic. The adhesive also can cause rashes or irritation, so choose breast petals that come with a patch test.
