HOW DOES THE GIRLS KIT WORK?
Never Fear, Your Tutorials are Here!
If you've ordered a complete starter kit, you've probably come across our trusty, step by step guide... Just in case, we've provided it here, just for you. For all you First Timers, you may find it helpful to also follow along, via video, as shown in the guidelines below.
So Get Ready to Shape Shift....
The first time can sometimes be daunting… But no worries, once you’ve got it, you’ve got it!
We genuinely care about your tatas, and remember, comfort is key! In order to give you the greatest first impression, allow us provide you with a bit of advice, coupled with some tips and tricks...
1. Do a Patch Test!
Before diving into the magic of ShapeShifters, we recommend doing a little patch test! Grab a small piece of ShapeShifters tape and gently place it on your breast area (just don’t stretch it!). Leave it there for a few hours, then peel it off slowly. This is your way of making sure your skin is ready for all the fabulousness without any sensitivity or allergies.
2. Apply to Clean Skin
For the best results, make sure your skin is clean and dry—free from any harsh oils or perfumes... Avoid using ShapeShifters on irritated, sunburned, or broken skin, darling!
3. Use our handy, dandy, Protect-The-Nip Covers
Pair your Shape Shifters with our oh-so-comfy Nipple Covers! These little heroes are here to protect your sensitive areas while keeping things smooth and comfy. Plus, they make the removal process feel like a breeze!
4. Keep It Simple, Sis!
Remember, less is more. Our shape and size inclusive template are based on the most common clothing cuts, for a natural, comfortable shape. Apply more as needed, but not too much!
Now go ahead and flaunt those curves with confidence!

At Ease, Strapless Taping Soldier!
ALRIGHT FABULOUS...
Let’s get you all set up for that stunning strapless look.
1. First things first:
Measure your tape before you cut! Our ShapeShifters are designed with a fabulous 4-way stretch, so you only need to use 3/4 of the tape’s width for your total bustline from side to side. Easy peasy!
2. Now, before you dive in...
Remember to apply your comfy nip covers first! Then, position your breasts just the way you want them—confidence is key! Your first piece of tape should kick off at your side and reach all the way to the other side for that perfect fit.
3. Application is Key!
As you apply the tape, peel the paper off slowly—trust me, you're going to want to take your time! Keep that tape from touching itself (or your hands) too much. Pull it snugly to your desired lift and use a mirror to ensure everything is lined up flawlessly.
4. Smooth, Operator!
Smooth out any wrinkles for that sleek finish. And here’s a pro tip: once the tape makes contact with your skin, try not to shift it around too much; the adhesive is super impressive and just wants to stay put!
PS...
If you’re craving even more lift, go ahead and layer on some additional pieces. You’ve got this, girlie! Now go and rock that amazing look!
HEY THERE, TEMPLATE TASK MASTER...
LETS GET CRAFTY!
Excited to create something fabulous with our reversible halter-neck/bikini, sweetheart, or deep-V template? You’re in for a treat! Follow these easy-peasy steps for a seamless experience:
1. Set the Scene!
Time to get your station ready! Your kit comes packed with everything you need: your trusty cutting mat and template cutter. Place your chosen template on the backing side of the tape—let those creative juices flow! Click down the safety guard on your template cutter, and trace along the tape to cut out your perfect shape. Easy, right?
2. Follow the Flow!
When you’re ready to apply your shape, make sure the tape’s stretch direction aligns with the natural stretch of your skin. We want that comfy, secure feel!
3. Comfort is Key!
Once you’ve cut and fitted everything just right, the tape should feel cozy and should never restrict your movements. Remember, the optimal stretch direction is vertical (up & down). This allows for plenty of flexibility and helps avoid any unnecessary friction against your skin.
Pro Tip!
When tracing your templates, always do it onto the backing paper with the fabric side down! This little trick helps prevent the tape from pulling and ensures you get that perfect cut every time!
Now, get ready to create and slay, superstar! ✨
YOUR SHAPESHIFTERS CURTAIN CALL (REMOVAL)
REMOVAL 1, 2, 3!
1. Use Our Remover: The Peel-Away Tonic!
Ready for the grand finale? For a breezy removal experience, douse your ShapeShifters tape with our amazing Peel-Away Tonic. And when we say douse, we mean SOAK! Seriously, don't hold back—let that tonic work its magic until the tape feels and looks wet!
Let the remover soak in for a minute. If you do it right, you’ll see that magical moment when the remover starts breaking down the adhesive, making your tape gently lift off your skin. It’s like a mini spa session for your skin!
2. Peel It Off SLOWLY!
When it’s time to peel away, take your time! ShapeShifters come off oh-so-easily if you’re gentle and mindful. Start by slowly pulling the tape back while using one hand to support the skin behind it. So, while one hand is working that magic, the other hand should be holding the skin flat. Teamwork makes the dream work!
3. NO to the “Ripping Off a Band-Aid” Method!
We know it’s tempting to rip off your ShapeShifters like a band-aid, but resist the urge! This can cause serious damage to your skin. Most irritation happens when your skin gets yanked around during removal. Stick to our slow-and-steady approach and let the Peel-Away Tonic do its thing for a comfy exit.
SECRETS, SECRETS...
Just Kidding! We’re not about gate-keeping here…💖
Our fabulous tapes aren’t just for your Girls—they can work wonders all over! Got some pesky thigh chafing? Snip a strip and apply it to either side of your inner thighs for instant relief. Need a little extra protection from those stunning-but-slightly-too-tight shoes? Simply cut a piece and place it wherever you need it most—whether it's at the back of your heel or on the tops of your tiny toes!
The possibilities truly are endless, so let your creativity run wild and have a blast experimenting!
