    if she's nursing i'm sure she has some lanolin around - use that to heal them up (can you tell i've bf'd before? LOL)...but make sure you cover them afterwards or it will stain your clothes...

    Search Udder Butter. Most common solution I have heard. Also - no cotton or cotton blends.

    Good luck!

    I don't run.... ever. But I can relate to chafed nipples. I second using lanolin to heal them up. In fact - I recomend lanolin for healing any skin that's irritated.

    My son wears UnderArmour shirts for football, baseball and working out - he likes the champion compression shirts from Walmart just as well.... and I love that he loves them - because they are much cheaper.

    Amusing how many people laugh and make smilie faces like this is the most outlandish thing they have ever heard when it's actually incredibly common among endurance runners, and the only reason women are not affected is because they wear sports bras!

    The more sensible contributions were:

    - Body Glide (it's great stuff and has to be first choice, it's way superior to Vaseline)
    - Vaseline (it's better than nothing)
    - taping (it's an option, but when you sweat the tape may come off and still leave you vulnerable)
    - on top of the above get wicking fabrics and do not under any circumstances run long distances in ordinary cotton.

    Happy running. :flowerforyou:

    If you'd listened as a kid to grandma you would have eaten your bread crusts and now be sporting a full chest of hair - no nipple chaffing the way nature intended. Bread Crusts.

    use body glide or bandaids. The body glide is also good for inner thigh chafing.

    My sister in law had a boyfriend who would shave the hairs around his nipples. It was kinda odd.
