Yeah, kind of embarrassing, but during my last three runs I have had slight bleeding from my nipples from the friction of them rubbing against my drenched shirt. I tried using bandaids this last time but the sweat quickly made them fall off even though I thought they were on pretty good beforehand.
Can anybody recommend a good cream or something like vaseline that would be good to put on there or maybe suggest a bandaid made for that kind of thing.
And no, I'm not going to wear a sports bra! I don't care if it's my color! lol

Try mole skin. Dr. Scholls makes it.0

Maybe one of those moisture wicking shirts and put some baby powder on them?0

Use Duct tape or mole skin.0

i'm not male but have read about guys bleeding from nipples while running.
it's quite common.
There's a product out called body glide thats suppose to be really good.
it's an anti-chafing thing that comes in a container like deodorant.0 -
Maybe a lighter weight shirt, like cotton.0

I wish I knew. While I haven't had bleeding, I've had days where I've gotten quite sore. For me, it's only happened with synthetic fibres. Maybe try switching to cotton shirts until you heal.0

I know a lot of people recommend a product called Body Glide.0

I haven't gotten to the point of bleeding, but have had some really bad irritation during some of my longer runs on really hot days...TS Lee caused me to have to rest a few extra days and they healed up. If you have a running store near you they will probably have some sort of product like Body Glide that will help, usually a small stick like a travel size deodorant size. I was given some in my swag bag from a run earlier this year and it has helped, even today. Good luck!0

haha. are you sure about the sports bra?? lol. just kidding. i'm not sure if you have a hibbett sports store, but they have a cream/grease (whatever it is) for runner's friction spots. i used it when my thighs rubbed too much in my running shorts. and my husband now uses it for his nipples. i dont know the brand off the top of my head. but you can prob just find some at your local sporting goods store.0

Try surgical tape (but for the love of god shave any hair beforehand). Also, Lanolin is a lifesaver for keep them both moist and helping them heal.0

It is going to sound strange.
But, I would recommend lanolin cream. They make it for breastfeeding women. Because women whom breastfeed obviously can only use "natural" or non harmful products, it is a very good healing product. A little goes a long way. Believe me, it does work. I am sure you can find it at BabiesRUs or some where similar.

You can buy nipple guards at the running store. Like band aids but more adhesive and shaped to fit so to speak.
Or you can use Mueller Lube Stick for Runners, or Body Glide. Both are lubricants you apply before the run.
Good luck0 -
Body glide. There's also other types of gels and what not at running stores if you look for them.0

Have you contemplated jogging without a shirt on? I most respect the dudes who don't care if they're out of shape, jogging without a shirt on, its a pretty rare thing though.0
-
I'm a little concerned that they're bleeding at all! Do you think that's something you might want to talk to your doctor about? Apart from that, try Lanolin. A lot of breastfeeding mothers use that to help their nipples heal.0
-
Hahahahahahaha.
Oh...this is serious?0 -
Perhaps a lanolin cream meant for breastfeeding moms would help the skin heal faster (essentially we get the same problem). Lansinoh makes a good one that is not too greasy.0
