OK. I know it's not my normal forte, but I have a serious question for people. This is not a troll thread. ^Look where I posted it?. I am just curious if anyone else has had this issue and if so, what can you do about it.

So, here is my situation. Over the last couple of weeks, I have found that my nipples have become extremely sensitive. It 's usually after a workout, but not necessarily exclusively. It's so painful it's almost unbearable. I can't tolerate the chafing I feel from my shirt rubbing over them. The water in the hot tub burns so bad. The steamroom is practically intolerable.

    damnit I thought someone had the same problem as me :P

    anyway, I saw that runners put some kind of tape over their nips, maybe that could help you too?

    Either put band aids over them or put body glide or Vaseline on them.

    You may need to look at the material your shirts are made out of. If they are cotton and you sweat a lot, they will get very irritated.

    Try a wicking material.

    If that does not work, you may need to put band aids over them

    Tape sounds painful coming off. I think I may try the band-aids.

    I thought this was about nips showing through tops after a strenuous set at the gym. Some girls at my gym pose serious hazards to the ocular cavities.

    It's called body glide. You can get it at a sporting goods store. It looks like deodorant but it's not. Works awesome

    Round bandaids work too. My husband has the same problem when he runs.

    Ladies are LESS likely to have this issue because we wear sports bras that can usually fix the issue.

    Definitely look for Body Glide. I got it at ****'s Sporting Goods. It's been a life saver on my long runs.
