    Body Glide. It's a miracle product for all forms of chafing and blisters.

    P.S. Men have the same nipple chafing problem :wink:

    Am I weird or just lucky? I haven't run into any of the horror stories of running for women...yet (knock on wood). And i've been running for 2 1/2 months up to 4 miles at a time

    Or the Nearly Me brand of the same thing.

    Works great for me for long runs.

    Lucky! Although I don't seem to get many of the weird complications until I start logging ~8 mile+ distances- like I get chafing under my left arm only- where it must rub the seam on the side of my shirt...but only on longer distances.
