Serious injury!!!!

[Big-Andy]

Really need help and advice on this one. 

Whats the best cure for joggers nipple!!!!! Preferably one not involving sticking plaster, I have a hairy chest. Lol

I had exactly the same complaint for the first time yesterday!

From googling myself the following seem recommended - all anecdotal though, no first hand evidence:

 - vaseline

 - masking tape(!)

 - bunion plasters

 - normal plasters

 - wearing 'technical' tops that wick away the water 

 - medicinal tape

My first port of call will be a technical top (I run in a normal t-shirt) as my pre-run routine is already too convoluted (find iPhone, find and then download music, get into my funky, cool and really effective vibrams, put the lead on the dogs, walk to the field, set up garmin etc. etc.).

I will be interested what those in the know say.

EDIT: apologies for numpty spelling mistakes - tooth extraction today and still a bit woozy

Ooh were you at Manchester poppy? We may have been next to one another and not realised !

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Jeleybelly]

Yes, I was at the 24/25 mile marker at Urmston !!

 Where were you ? xxx

[Jeleybelly Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Answered this earlier and its disappeared!?!

We were just a couple of miles away at 22.5, in between flixton and urmston. So near but yet so far!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Nivea.... swear by it... ! Don't even ask!!!!

[catchmeifucan]

Have to agree with Rignold and poppypug...Body glide works for me, it's easy to apply, isn't messy and works!

I was in the running shop the other day and saw something for nipples ( it was a running shop... Honest!!) it was in a tube but I cannot remember the name...  I'd say the tighter the better.

I only have this issue with my running club vest - the material is best described as micro-cheese-grater in construction. I have no issues at all with any of my other technical running tops.

[Jeleybelly Graduate]

Not something I suffer with, thank goodness! But I would suggest Vaseline 

[Harty_EFC Graduate]

Suffered with this myself and its painful - that first moment in the shower afterwards is not fun. I have found the best thing for me is to always wear a compression top, got some short sleeves for milder weather and long sleeves for the cold and not had any issues since I started using them - good luck
