The pasty is a small (like about 1/2" or less) circle of sticky stuff, and the lead thingy is a tiny bead in the center of it. They stick it right on the tip of your nipple. And when you pull that sucker off afterwards, it hurts like a mofo. At least it does me.

Wait- do these pasties have tassles? Are you sure you were in a doctor’s office?

I’m still not clear on why they’re needed. When Pepper Mill gets squished, her nipple stands out pretty clearly in silhouette on the Mammogram. I haven’t seemn hers, but I’ve seen reproductions of others, and that’s been the case. You don’t need a Power Pastie to point out the nipple.

Do they put those FunCaps on you if they think that the nipple _won’t_ stand out clearly in your case?

I can’t count how many boob squishings I’ve had so far, and never once was anything stuck onto my nipples. Never ever heard anyone mention that happening to them, either. I’ll take a poll at choir tonight. Pasties, lead beads…never had none of that stuff.
