Bleeding Nipples

A miracle cure is the cream they use on cows udders. No joke. Ask a vet. That **** is awesome.

Udder Balm!!!!!
When I was little, my family had dairy cows and my hands were the softest they've ever been. I couldn't figure out why until i found an old tub of it in the barn. I started using is again and OMG, soft everything!!!!!!! Plus it guards against friction, germs/bacteria, and weather conditions.

I agree with the above post. I know Lanisnoh cream works. You should definitely try it. It may work just as well for a man as it does for a woman.

Definitley wear a singlet underneath.
You could use a nipple cream(for breastfeeding) at night while you sleep most are lanolin and a very sticky and can stain so wear a shirt you don't mind ruining.

i was going to suggest this, to help it heal. then try a compression shirt.

I've been having this problem, not quite bleeding but they still hurt.

So now I have to buy a cream they use on cow udders and apply it to my nipples?

I think I'm gonna go back to fat. This is getting silly.

Udder cream

Try the monistat anti-chaffing cream... works well for inner thighs!

good to know. every time i go to a theme park and ride water rides and what not i get chaffing on my inner thighs from my shorts. maybe i should try this next time.

I find fabric band-aids (the large kind you can cut in half, one for each nipple) stick pretty well, unless it's raining really hard.

Other than that, I second the wearing something tighter comment. In my experience, all the fancy wicking materials are not great for the nipples, and the best thing is to wear a vest 2 or 3 sizes too small. I like the wifebeater kinds with the little holes in the fabric - they breathe well, but there's no reason an undershirt with sleeves couldn't work well too. I think the tight garment thing works best because it basically simulates the set-up of a bra, being tight enough that the fabric is not rubbing over your nipples.

I think you're supposed to make sure you're using a moisture wicking fabric and not cotton shirts if you have this problem.

this you op?

Hey I didn't know Ed Helms was a runner!

Nexcare makes a foam tape that stays put but still pulls off reasonably easy. I've used that when i've experienced "chaffing".

Ok, I used to use Vaseline and it worked. Lately for some reason, I have one nipple which just keeps on bleeding every time I go on a long run.

.....And you know how it stings when you get in the shower afterwards! And then when it starts healing, you get itchy and keep scratching your chest!.....

I will try tape or a band aid but Im not confident it will stick and stay during the run.

Has anyone found a particular fabric which helps protect from this problem? Or maybe there are Feeding mothers who have discovered a wonder cure for bleeding and cracked nipples other than paw paw cream??

Please share!!

You should go to the DR.
One reason for bleeding from the nipple is breast cancer.

My husband uses Nip Guards.

My husband swears by Nip Gaurds....they are usually sold at running stores/expos. he uses them for any run over 8 miles. Money well spent.

All you need is body glide and the problem won't happen!

Newman's all purpose nipple ointment! You get it at a compounding pharmacy. Get some air to the nips..
Coming from a nursing mom.. You'll have to figure out another way to keep them from rubbing.
