If you've been shopping for nipple covers in the last couple of years, you've seen CAKES Body. They went viral, landed a Shark Tank deal, and built one of the most recognizable names in the category. We make Sticky Boobs, so read this comparison knowing exactly who wrote it — and know that every claim about CAKES below comes from their own site or their Shark Tank appearance, checked in July 2026. No made-up numbers, no cheap shots.
The Bottom Line
CAKES Body is the bigger, better-known brand, and their non-adhesive "grippy" covers are a genuinely good product — especially their (+) size, made for DDD cups and up. Their nipple covers run $33 a pair on their site at the time of writing. Sticky Boobs covers the same jobs for less: adhesive covers at $25, non-adhesive covers at $25, a reusable clasp sticky bra at $35, and boob tape at $18. If you want the famous name or you're a DDD+ cup, CAKES is a strong pick. If you want the same core solutions at a lower price from a smaller women-owned company, that's us.
What CAKES Body Gets Right
Credit where it's due. CAKES appeared on Shark Tank in season 15 and walked away with a $300,000 deal for 10% with Emma Grede — the sisters behind the brand turned down a royalty offer from Kevin O'Leary to do it. Their signature idea is a non-adhesive cover: 100% silicone that stays put with body heat and grip rather than glue, which they describe as "grippy, not sticky." That's a real advantage for sensitive skin, and the covers are dermatologist tested.
Their sizing is thoughtful, too. Covers come in three sizes — Itty Bitty (AA–A), OG (B–DD), and a (+) size for DDD and up — in three shades each. Beyond covers, their lineup at the time of writing includes Sticky CAKES adhesive circles and triangles ($33), CAKES Tape ($48), and a Cleavage Bra ($46).

Honest Caveats
Two places CAKES genuinely wins. First, fame and social proof at scale: they're a viral, Shark Tank-backed brand with enormous reach, and our 569 reviews are a smaller body of evidence than theirs. Second, coverage sizing at the top end — their (+) cover is built specifically for DDD+ cups, while our covers top out at C–D+ (our Sticky Bra runs to 42DD, but for covers alone, CAKES has the edge above a D).
If neither of those applies to you, the honest question is whether the CAKES name is worth roughly $8 more per pair of covers — or $30 more on tape. For a lot of people it is. For a lot of people it isn't. Both answers are fine.
