  • I have good news, this is normal. You don't have a sickness, disease or anything like that. Basically when you exercise, and sweat is absorbed into your clothes making them wet, you bare chest rubs against it. The constant friction of the damp sweaty shirt causes your nipples to peak. Over extend period of time they become more and more irritable.

    I freaked out when this first happen to me too! I went to a doctor, who I am close with, and we had a nice little laugh over it. It is 100% normal, your nipples are just sick of rubbing against your shirt!

    I deal with it, but sometimes when I know I am going to exercise for a while and it might become very irritable I do the following:

    1. Wear clothes that cling to your chest. This holds your nipples in place so there is no friction. I wear Under-Armor, but there are tons of other brands at your local store.

    2. It sounds stupid, but it works. Bandaids. Get the water proof ones so when you sweat they stay in place.

    I have the same problem when I'm running a lot. I just started wearing one of those spandex under armor shirts under my t-shirt. The spandex doesn't move around and chaff. Not only that it kind of holds the belly in a little bit.

    Maybe it's just me, or just a girl thing but band aids didn't do it for me. The bandaid took a bunch of skin when I removed it. Ouch ouch ouch. Look into the anti chafing gel.

    You're pregnant. Congrats!

    oh crap. Not again!
    I hate when that happens.

    There is also Gold Bond Chafing Defense Anti-Friction Formula.

    Jogger's nipple. Watch the finish line of a Marathon and you'll see guys who look like they've been shot twice in the chest.

    Get a tight-fitting, non-cotton, technical fibre, wicking workout top. You can try compression tops, but they're pricey, and, well, tight!

    Vaseline can grip rather than slip, so you might want to try a sports alternative called Bodyglide.
