Now that I have your attention.... lol

I'm looking for shirts to wear while running long distances that wont rub my nipples raw. Any suggestions???? I was thinking Under Armor but wasn't sure if there was something better out there.

Thanks for the help!

    I've heard that some would use deoderant for the inner thigh that chafs...so maybe use that?
  • Bleeding? Boy, you've got a high pain tollerance. :laugh:

    I've had the sore nips before from running and a real runner told me they sometimes tape them. :noway: Yeah, thats what he said. Tape.

    I'm petrified of nipple chafing. Once it starts it is a vicious circle. If you have sensitive nipples, they chafe, so they become more sensitive, so they chafe more. So... I take precautions.

    Ok but for serious...I have no good answers, sports bras have always done the trick- sorry. (maybe they make a sports bro?)

    I have to imagine bleeding nipples is as uncomfortable as the wire from ones bra stabbing their breast all day. Having experienced the latter, I feel for you. Maybe try some waterproof Band Aids?

    Ive had this problem too while using the elliptical. I have solved my problem by wearing a t shirt and then a sweatshirt. I think the extra weight keeps the motion down. I know how painful and stressful it can be. Good luck!

    Get some pasties!! :laugh: No....for real, Summer's Eve or Massengil makes this product called "chafing gel" and it is a gel-like powder that dries clear. It forms a protective barrier to friction and moisture.It comes in a purple tube and is found by the tampons:blushing: ..LOL!! Its made for areas like under the breasts and for when thighs rub together:noway: ....ewww...LOL! Anyhow...I bet that would protect your nipples from being rubbed raw! I hope you don't mind shopping in the feminine isle!!

    Funny!! I didn't see your post and just said the same thing about "pasties".....I bet it would work though!

    That "tit"le (pun intended) will certainly get you noticed! :laugh: Cyclists can get problems 'down low' from sitting on a saddle for hours and legs rubbing, etc. There are a variety of products for that - could probably use the same thing for a different sensitive area. Do you have a bike shop (or specialty running store) in your area?

    put duct tape over them. I've seen bloody nips on men, looks painful and draws A LOT of attention...
