Okay. So I am very large chested (42 E). I usually wear two or three sport bras to hold them in place. Recently, however, I am having an issue with my nipples. They are constantly hard whilst I work out. I hate it! I am doing NROL4W and am always in the weight room. I try to just ignore it, but people stare. This only happens to me when I work out. Does anyone else have this problem? Should I invest in some good pasties or what? I don't know what to do :ohwell:

    I would be careful with tape over your nipples and maybe put cotton wool bud pulled thin over the top. You can always try chest wraps, but they are very restrictive.
    I wouldnt worry about other people personally. Just get in there and do your thing and if people are too distracted by your awesomeness then meh to them.
    However.... if anyone went beyond a glance in that direction and went the full oggle and it was enough that you felt uncomfortable then I would report them to a member of staff.

    Embrace it and screw what everyone else thinks...but I'm very small in the breast department so maybe it's different

    If you want to hide your nipples, try electrical tape over them. It doesn't hurt that much coming off. I say embrace your body, though. People will stare, must mean you're hot and doing something right!

    Try ****'s Sporting Goods. They have AMAZING bras with amazing padding and support. I'm a 34DD, so I have problems of my own...but they solved them all!

    I have to warn you: their bras are a bit expensive...but they're totally worth it. Best of luck!

    I say just don't worry about it but if you're really concerned than I've seen nipple covers in bra shops before (the ones I saw were shaped like flowers).

    Are you a masochist? Good Heaven, does it need to be spelled out? Never put electrical tape on your nipples!

    I agree w/the poster above. Go to a bra store and get nipple covers. Or use the inserts that come with bathing suit tops. Whatever. But you know, if your nips are poking through 3 bras, you're either trolling or you got some serious nips. If it's the latter, get to the bra store.

    Wear a print top instead of a solid. The pattern will disguise the pointiness.

    Or realize that everyone has nipples and forget about it.

    I doubt if people are staring as much as you believe. I'm in the gym around women all the time and yes, I notice hotness and sneak a peek on occasion. But I don't stare and don't see other people staring or pointing or commenting.

    two things I do to help this problem (and you are not alone in this)

    1.) I wear dark shirts.

    2.) I will wear a REGULAR under-wire padded bra- and Id on't mean push up- I just mean with padding in the cup all over) under my regular sports bra.

    hides any nip tips I might get.

    I sometimes giggle inwardly when I catch a glimpse of my nipples in the mirror when I do a form check. I just stopped giving a crap; other people are going to look at my bewbs or not whether the nipples are at attention or not, and it's really none of my business. If it bothers them that this happens to people, I suggest they pull up their big girl underpants and get over it, or stay home huddled in a dark corner where nobody will ever intrude to offend them. :tongue:

    If people are looking, they aren't thinking anything negative. Not about that.

    Be embarrassed if you accidentally fart while you're lifting or leave a pee puddle during box jumps or something.

    I also do this.

    ... Though that doesn't stop anyone from staring while I jump rope.

    Mine do this as well, at first I was like "oh no" but then I thought EVERYONE has nipples not just me so what is the big deal. Anyone who feels the need to look, comment, or anything else concerning my nipples really needs to grow up or go back to kindergarten where their maturity level is.

    Absolutely normal, due to the blood flow. I also wear a normal bra under my sports bra.

    I used to obsess over this, particularly because mine are pierced so you can already tell if I don't wear a regular underwire bra under my sports bras (I feel ya girl I have to double up too!), but honestly if someone is staring at your sweater puppies while you work out and they get offended that they can see your nipples then they need to get a life.

    I worried about this too and for a long time wore an uncomfortable bra to cover them up. Then one day I just said the heck with it
    I have boobs and nipples and if they happen to stand at attention at times so be it. Honestly, I have never really understood why people make such a big deal of it anyway. When did nipples become something we have to hide?

    I have the same issue ( was a 42DD, now a 38C) and was mortified the first time I caught a glance of nips in the mirror while lifting. I decided that it was normal, and I would pretend it wasn't happening. As far as know, no one is staring...

    Either nipple covers or a nice, padded sports bra. A lot of big chested friends wear Panache sports bras, and while a little expensive, they'll prevent your problems as well as making it so you don't have to double up.

    Totally can relate...go to Amazon: boob-eez are the name. I use them all the time. They're reusable and work great. Completely understand!

    My nips are usually in the same state while working out. I give zero f@¢ks. I wear good sport bras that support the DD's - only the one bra at the time. I wear the shirt I want to - because its clean or keeps me appropriately cool or warm. If some guy enjoys staring at them, he's welcome to do so. You're welcome, fellas. I'm gonna worry about my workout and head home. I could not imagine layering up a bunch of bras or strategically selecting tops or buying special equipment or going out of my way *at all* to prevent some dudes I don't know and don't care about from looking at me.

    it's not really a chore. I don't go out of my way to prevent it... but I know sometimes I can use the extra support/coverage.

    I select only 1 type of workout top- a tank top. and I wear only 2 types of bras to work out in... so it's not like I'm jumping through hoops to get the result I want.

    And I pack my gym back at 630 AM- I get to the gym at 500 PM- I work till I'm done- then I work out form 8 -11... if I have nips- because I didn't pack the right combo of stuff-it's too damn bad. But I really dislike them being out there- and it's no LESS convenient for me to simple select dark colors (which I like) or bra's that support me AND keep them under wraps. once I'm there- it's game on and that's it. if it happens it happens- but really- ultimately... it's not really out of my way to wear two bras that support me- the single layer ones are lightly padded anyway... and a dark color tank- I have 3 light colored ones... so yeah.

    not exactly the crisis to avoid something that some people find very uncomfortable. I spend more time making sure I don't wear the red top with my neon pants- OH first world problems- whatever will we do.
