         3 . The bra cup of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive comprises a plurality of undulating thin ridges of pressure sensitive adhesive that extend vertically from a top of the interior surface to a bottom of the interior surface. 
     
     
         4 . The bra cup of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive is located adjacent to at least two separate sides of the at least one ventilation pathway. 
     
     
         5 . A backless, strapless bra comprising the bra cup of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         6 . A breast form comprising:
 an interior surface of the breast form configured to be placed on a breast of a user and to face toward the user's breast;   at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive on the interior surface for securing the breast form to the user's breast and at least one ventilation pathway on the interior surface; and   a connector at an inner side of the breast form configured to be connected to another breast form.   
     
     
         7 . The breast form of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive and the at least one ventilation pathway are interspersed on the interior surface of the breast form. 
     
     
         8 . The breast form of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive comprises a plurality of undulating thin ridges of pressure sensitive adhesive that extend vertically from a top of the interior surface to a bottom of the interior surface. 
     
     
         9 . The breast form of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive is located adjacent to at least two separate sides of the at least one ventilation pathway. 
     
     
         10 . A backless, strapless breast form system to be worn in place of a traditional bra, comprising the breast form of  claim 6 . 
     
     
         11 . A method of preparing a bra cup comprising:

         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein mechanically applying the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive to the interior surface of the bra cup comprises mechanically applying the pressure sensitive adhesive with a machine under computer numerical control. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising mechanically applying the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive as a plurality of undulating thin ridges of pressure sensitive adhesive that extend vertically from a top of the interior surface to a bottom of the interior surface. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising forming at least one ventilation pathway by mechanically applying the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive. 
     
     
         15 . A backless, strapless bra comprising the bra cup prepared according to the method of  claim 11 . 
     
     
         16 . A method of preparing a breast form comprising:
 mechanically applying at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive to an interior surface of a breast form, wherein the breast form comprises a connector at an inner side of the breast form configured to be connected to another breast form, and the interior surface is configured to be placed on a breast of a user and to toward the user's breast.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein mechanically applying the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive to the interior surface of the breast form comprises mechanically applying the pressure sensitive adhesive with a machine under computer numerical control. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising mechanically applying the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive as a plurality of undulating thin ridges of pressure sensitive adhesive that extend vertically from a top of the interior surface to a bottom of the interior surface. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising forming at least one ventilation pathway by mechanically applying the at least one thin ridge of pressure sensitive adhesive. 
     
     
         20 . A backless, strapless breast form system to be worn in place of a traditional bra, comprising the breast form prepared according to the method of  claim 16 .
