WHAT DOES PASTIES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pasties

Pasties are patches that cover a woman's nipples and areolae which are affixed with adhesive. Though pasties are commonly associated with burlesque and erotic entertainment, they are also at times worn more casually as an undergarment and occasionally as beachwear. As an example of rarer use, in the annual "Go Topless Day" protests in the United States, otherwise topless female demonstrators wear imitation nipple pasties over their own nipples, in case they are prosecuted.
