CAKES body has introduced CAKES Tape, a patent-pending silicone boob tape. This innovation, by a viral intimates brand that is renowned for silicone-based solutions, differs from traditional fabric tapes by being ultra-thin.
CAKES Tape measures at just half a millimetre. The silicone boob tape is also repositionable, reusable, and significantly gentler on the skin. As such, the innovation promises to eliminate the common problems of traditional boob tape, which has been notoriously difficult to work with – from rarely staying flat and often showing through clothing to causing blisters or allergic reactions upon removal, and typically being single-use. CAKES Tape addresses each of these pain points directly by using a material that naturally conforms to the body without creasing, can be repositioned if the first attempt is not perfect, washes clean and dries for multiple uses, and comes off gently without soaking in oil or enduring a painful peel.

Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Ultra-thin Silicone Adhesives
- Ultra-thin silicone adhesive layers that maintain bond strength while remaining nearly invisible create opportunities for next-generation wearable fastening solutions that prioritize aesthetics and comfort.
- Reusable Personal Adhesives
- Materials designed for repeated washing and gentle re-adhesion open possibilities for shifting single-use accessory categories toward sustainable, multi-use formats.
- Skin-friendly Conforming Materials
- Soft, hypoallergenic elastomers that naturally conform to body contours suggest new product classes that reduce irritation and broaden suitability across sensitive skin populations.
Where This Applies
- Intimates and Lingerie
- The intimates sector can be transformed by integrating ultra-thin, repositionable adhesives that enable cleaner silhouettes and longer-lasting garment support without compromising skin comfort.
- Cosmetics and Beauty Tools
- Cosmetic applications stand to benefit from discreet, skin-safe adhesives for lash, brow, and prosthetic placement that enhance wearability and reduce allergic reactions compared with fabric-based tapes.
- Medical Adhesives and Wound Care
- Advances in gentle, reusable silicone adhesives present potential for wound care and wearable medical devices that minimize skin trauma and allow for repeated repositioning during treatment.
