Subject: Chaffed nipples after running

I prefer to run with a shirt on but my after my shirt gets wet my nipples get chaffed.   I have tried many different types of shirts very tight, baggy, tucked in, ect. Always ends the same.  If I run over 5 miles or so it seems it happens.  Any other guys have this issue and found reasonably priced solutions for training.  Thanks

I have the same problem.  After trying several different solutions I ended up using waterproof bandaids.  The stay on no matter how much I sweat.  The only problem is taking them off...

Body glide.  I have same problem with anything over 4-5 miles.  Body glide to the nipples gets me to 8 miles no trouble.  Ran 10 and it must have worn off.  So, today I ran 12, reapplied body glide at the six mile mark when I switched out water bottles and no problems.  Nipples good tonight.  Now, legs, thats another story.

In order of ease - Body Glide -> Vaseline -> Mole Skin -> Duct tape. Hope that helps.

I never run without a compression shirt underneath.  I never get chaffing this way.  I forgot it once and had the chaffing in undesirable spots.  UnderArmor is my friend.

Have you tried a Rash Guard? I came to despise cotton shirts because they stick and hold the sweat and become "heavy" if you will. Since I grew up surfing, I learned to switch to a rash guard shirt for my running. I use the brand BOdy Glove.

Switch to technical shirts (you'll get lots from road races that you enter) for running.  Use Body Glide for your short runs and use NipGuards or Bandages for longer runs of Marathon length or beyond.  Take all your cotton shirts and turn them into rags.

Surgical tape or band aids work best. May have to do a little trimming. Don't leave home without it, expecially on rainy or hot long runs.

I cringe every time I see a guy walking around after a race with a blood stained shirt from raw nipples. I just put on the little round bandaids before a long run and they work fine. Sometimes I trim the hair around the nip to make the bandaid less painful upon removal.
