The adhesive quality of a silicone or fabric bra, designed for backless or strapless garments, diminishes with use due to the accumulation of oils, dead skin cells, and lint. This loss of adhesion renders the bra less effective in providing support and remaining securely in place.
Maintaining the adhesive properties of such a bra extends its lifespan, offering continued support and discretion under various clothing styles. Restoring the stickiness saves money by postponing the need for replacement and reduces waste. Originally intended for occasional wear, developments in materials and cleaning techniques allow for more prolonged use if properly maintained.
