when you are running/exercising? Nipple chafing is the worst
After 2 sets of tennis and a 1-mile jog
It's been worse after longer runs. I've heard of NipGuards but feel pretty lame wearing them. Maybe just some Vaseline? Personal experiences?

is this for real?
If so, maybe you can try an athletic shirt that is soft, like the loose fitting Underarmor 5/26/2010 4:33:07 PM |

ive only had problems when wearing 100% cotton, and found that wicking fabrics do not produce such problems
but i didnt have a problem unless i was running for 90min+
but im a sweaty bitch
idk, changing fabrics worked for me, guess not for you 5/26/2010 4:35:46 PM |

According to the testimonials on the nipguards.com website, bandaids and lubricants didn't work for some guy.
Quote : | "Thank you NipGuards, I'm 34 and I started racing a couple of years ago. I like the challenge of a long distance race but I hate finishing only to find my nipples sore or even bleeding. I ran six marathons prior to seeing your product, using Band-aids that didn't stay and lubricants that didn't work, only to end up in pain. I tried your product at the Chicago Marathon and I could not have been happier. Your product works as well, if not better, than you claim. I put them to the test at the 2000 Disney Marathon with the same great results. I only wish I would have known about them when I did my first Iron Man distance triathlon. Please rush my next order, I have my first Ultra-marathon coming up and I don't know if I could tolerate it unprotected." |
And also,
Quote : | " The shirt was soaked The chest was wet But my nips were dry NipGaurds, you bet!
I racewalk hard The arms are a pumpin' With sweat soaked tank The nips take a thumpin'
They bleed and crack And get quite raw Band-Aids can help I could wear a bra
The NipGuard I saw At the LV Expo A new product he said The need sure to grow
I'm a believer A customer sure NipGuards I'll wear I've now found the cure " |

1) Different material/fit of shirt 2) Anti-chafing products like Body Glide, TriSlide 3) band-aids on the nips 4) Stop getting aroused on the court 5/26/2010 4:38:39 PM |

1) Tried, loose/tight and different materials always give the same result. 2) Will try! 3) Usually fall off/get loose and end up chafing too 4) It's hard not to with all those fuzzy balls around
Also, I'd like to see what the UPS man says when I get in my order of NipGuards

I second the wicking fabrics comment above, never had any chafing wearing a running shirt. The shirts I wear are not incredibly loose around my chest, so if they were going to rub I think it would happen. I don't know if it changes anything, but I have a pretty hairy chest. I don't know if that is a buffer or not 5/26/2010 5:05:34 PM |

Put on some bandaids yesterday so that my shirt wouldn't keep chafing. Just pulled them off.

Bodyglide. Seriously. I've worn it for marathons, triathalons, week long hikes, bike trips etc. It's fucking amazing. Completely prevents nipple bleeds, armpit chafing, and the dreaded thigh-rubbing for us fatties.

I also recommend a more fastidious approach to nipple maintenance in the first place. You should stay hydrated and moisturize your nipples--along with your entire body--at least five times a day.

I'm not going to moisturize my nipples once, let alone 5 times
i wouldn't even know what to use. saliva? 7/6/2014 6:46:58 PM |
BridgetSPK #1 Sir Purr Fan 31378 Posts user info edit post |
I was joking. And I don't think it would really help this issue. But your skin's an organ and all that. So moisturizing after you bathe is not a bad habit even just a few times a week. 7/6/2014 7:28:48 PM |

electrical tape doesnt stick to skin as much when you peel it off, and its thicker than a band aid 7/6/2014 7:38:46 PM |

You guys must have some serious moobs to be getting chafed after so relatively few miles. A marathon, I understand that (firsthand), but almost everything up to that point, I've never had an issue, and that's without any nipple maintenance or accessorizing. 7/6/2014 9:58:17 PM |

^^My first half marathon, my nipples were right on the verge of blood. They were crazy chafed and scabbed over a couple of days after the race. But I agree, never had a problem under 10 miles. 7/7/2014 2:56:04 AM |

Band-aids 7/7/2014 9:17:51 AM |
Sayer now with sarcasm 9841 Posts user info edit post |
band-aids and good quality running shirts
When I get the bloody nipples, it's from running for extended periods of time while wearing a cotton shirt. I get those circular, quarter-sized band-aids, stick em on, and gogogo.
Also don't wear white shirts, they tend to show things like your nipples bleeding really easily. 7/7/2014 9:47:33 AM |
