Well, the petal ones usually come ready to use and are sold in a million different skin tones, which is great for versatility.

If you're looking online, I think the term "pasties" can get a little convoluted and lost. I believe that searching for "nipple covers" is an easier way to help your search. You can get both neutral covers, or you can go all out with bedazzled and colored covers if you want to!

Yes, but keep in mind that pasties won’t give you the same kind of support as a bra. They just cover your nipples. Try using them in combination with breast lift tape if you want a little more control and support.

It depends on the context and the type of pasties. Flesh-toned silicone pasties can help cover your nipples if you’re wearing a thin or sheer top and want to go braless. More colorful or flashy novelty pasties are intended to be fun and sexy. They originated as a way for burlesque dancers to go topless while still technically following anti-toplessness laws. Today, people may enjoy wearing them in the bedroom or under revealing club attire, such as sheer bodysuits.

Some are, but check the label to be sure. A lot of self-adhesive pasties are only good for a few uses.
