Not something that I would have expected

PS - I didn't get to the bleeding stage -- just the OUCH - OUCH - WTF is that?? stage

[helenbones Graduate]

oooh not nice - perhaps they should start a line of sports bras for men!

[useitorloseit Graduate]

Tee hee. Not as bad as having a pair of razor sharp baby gums sucking the things though! Get some plasters and a new shirt!

[GettingFitter Graduate]

Ouch. I've had no problems with the C25K running shirt. Nip guards sound a bit excessive might end up looking like Madonna or is it a couple of burly bouncer types clearing the way.

[PastyMan Graduate]

Gents, it has happened to me. Didn't really notice it so much when running but in the shower afterwards I nearly screamed. Only happens occassionally and I have a couple of running tops that I think are more culpable (the black 5x50 was one in particular!)

Ahhh, that one...

Due to a hormone imballance folowing testicular cancer I have quite large moobs. As a reult I know just what you are going through. Mine also 'bounce', so I have resorted to wearing a cheap sports bra. OK, it may seem odd, and at first you feel VERY self conscious, but when you consider the alternative, and realise that not everyone is staring at you, it is great.

You could try a glide substance, plasters (watch hairs when you remove them), petroleum jelly or simply gettinga smoother top. You may find this problem kis worse in winter when it is cold and they stick-out a bit more.

Good luck!

Ouch! *gives you a pot of Vaseline*

[Tryrun Graduate]

My partner has had this, now swears by 'body glide' not cheap but lasts ages and does not leave marks on clothes like vaseline ( not a sign of soreness on this years London Marathon!).
