One of my friends was a stripper, she used to use a glue stick, said it was much less painful and equally effective as the tape.
That stuff does not wash out of clothing very well. I like to use a watersalluable double sided tape, normally used as basting tape for quilters. It does not hurt my skin and if any residue is left behind on the gown, it will wash out with plain water.
This is sooooo off topic. We should be ashamed of ourselves.
Just be sure to not get the type of tape that you iron on. It would probably suck.
