Abstract
There are provided a pair of breast covers, each breast cover forming a cup shape defining a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface, defining an ovular cross section having a major axis and a minor axis, being symmetric with respect to the major axis and asymmetric with respect to the minor axis. Each cover further comprises a peripheral adhesive layer on the inner surface thereby defining an adhesive-free central portion at an intersection of the axes. Wearing the covers comprises adhering the covers to respective breasts in first orientations generally symmetric with a centre line therebetween for a first type of garment and in second orientations generally symmetric with the centre line therebetween for a second type of garment.

A breast cover forming a cup shape defining a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface, defining an ovular cross section having a major axis and a minor axis and being symmetric with respect to the major axis and asymmetric with respect to the minor axis and having a peripheral adhesive layer on the inner surface, the peripheral adhesive layer thereby defining an adhesive-free central portion at an intersection of the axes and wherein the peripheral portion occupies less than half a width of the inner surface along the minor axis and less than half the width of the inner surface along the major axis, wherein a radial width of the peripheral adhesive layer is substantially uniform so that the adhesive-free central portion has a shape that is the same as a boundary of the inner surface.
A method of wearing a pair of breast covers, each breast cover forming a cup shape defining a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface, defining an ovular cross section having a major axis and a minor axis;
- and being symmetric with respect to the major axis;
- and asymmetric with respect to the minor axis and having a peripheral adhesive layer on the inner surface thereby defining an adhesive-free central portion at an intersection of the axes, the method comprising:
- adhering the covers to respective breasts:
- in first orientations generally symmetric with a center line therebetween for a first type of garment;
- and
- in second orientations generally symmetric with the center line therebetween for a second type of garment, wherein a radial width of the peripheral adhesive layer is substantially uniform so that the adhesive-free central portion has a shape that is the same as a boundary of the inner surface.

- in first orientations generally symmetric with a center line therebetween for a first type of garment;
- and
- in second orientations generally symmetric with the center line therebetween for a second type of garment.
