    Have you tried wearing a bra?

    I mean, I'm assuming that's why us ladies don't have the same problem...

    I could have used one a few years ago! :laugh: :laugh:

    But you're right - women wearing properly fitting sports bras rarely suffer this problem.

    The weave of the shirt also makes a difference - the waffle weaves are the worst offenders.....

    compression tops for me. thankfully I've lost enough weight that most 2XL sized fit now. good thing my moobies always behaved and never had the bloody nips issue.:bigsmile:

    Vaseline works for me. Without it, the longer the run and the wetter it is, the worse the soreness is. Luckily, I can do a half marathon without any actual bleeding.

    First time for everything... my nipples feel raw today. Going to try vaseline and these compression tops.

    I used to wonder why guys insisted on running shirtless ... thought it was to show off "the situation" ... ha ... I plan to once this weather cools down a little and I'm not running in the gym ... that was not fun!

    I did "not" have them get to the point of bleeding but today it was the worst ... ran the last 20 minutes holding my shirt slightly away from my body ... *sigh* ...

    Really thinking about that compression shirt though ...
