Member 42  newport news |  Subject: 70.3 and my nipplesI usually use water proof Band Aides during my run training but I'm afraid they will come off during the race. Should I be using something different that will stay on for the entire race? |

Champion 10157 Alabama | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples Just had to share my war story on this subject. Embarrassing moments at the pool.....I was doing a run and then went to the pool for a swim. I had put bandaids across my nipples to stop abrasion from my cotton shirt and forgot they were there when I got to the pool and took my shirt off. I was walking around the pool talking to some girls and trying to act cool....with bandaids across my nipples. Let's be careful out there! ~Mike |

Expert 939 Tulsa | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples I use the waterproof tape for all of my training and races. It never comes off. But you can put an extra piece in your transition just in case. I wear a tight racing uniform and they still hurt if i don't wear the tape. |

Champion 7558 Albuquerque, New Mexico | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples If you're wearing a wetsuit, they should stay on the whole race without any problems. I used duct tape and it was still where I left it at the end of IMCdA. You might also consider second-skin as a precautionary layer (shouldn't burn if you're uninjured). Cotton or dri-wick doesn't matter much for chafing. |

Regular 126 East San Francisco Bay Area | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples Invest in a 'Tri-top' for the races or even for training if you want. I wear Nike Dri-fit to run , with bandaids on my nipples. But I race in a 2XU, tri top that fits like a second skin, no need for bandaids on race day. Not as bad as walking around the pool with bandaids still on, But after I build up a sweat the bandaids are clearly visable through the shirt. Oh well, nothing worse then little scabs on the nipples. |

Master 3546 Millersville, MD | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples IME waterproof bandaids will stay on the entire race. Also IME a tight fitting tri top is NOT a substitute for bandaids. |

Regular 173 | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples Used them for Eagleman 70.3, no problems. I shudder to think of the dual gunshot wound look I would have had going if they had fallen off. |

| New user 347 | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples I gotta agree, di-wick or cotton, it doesn't matter for chafing. I warn you- IF YOU DO GET A BAD CHAFING. BE CAREFUL OF INFECTION!!! I had a cut on my nipple that got infected: absolutely disgusting, indescribably painful injury. |

Extreme Veteran 417 Buford GA | Subject: RE: 70.3 and my nipples I know this is somewhat common but i've never experienced this. I am still building my distance up again but I used to do ~10miles wearing cotton shirts and never had a problem. My nips were/are pierced too so they are pretty much always erect and quite sensitive at times, odd that I don't have this issue.. and hope I don't. |
