Sore nipples!

Yes you read this right! After buying a new long sleeved top and running in it today my nipples are really really sore! There must be a tried and tested means out there to stop this. I guess either vaseline or plasters may help! However I hate the feel of vaseline and dont fancy smearing it over my fancy new running top. Any ideas! ;)

Micropore tape would hurt less to pull off than plasters... I'm guessing a sports bra isn't for you ;)

There are also products such as NipGuards and Body Glide barrier cream available on Amazon. I guess its just finding out what works for you.

Make sure you cover them before you go out again or you will just iritate them even more.

Hope you get sorted soon.

Yup, I'm with doggymum, when I first started the programme and was carrying 'a bit more weight', I used to get horrendous runners nipple and found Micropore did the trick nicely.

Agree with doggymum about the bodyglide.. same performance as vaseline but won't leave greasy marks all over your kit....

Micropore works for me every time. Since I got mine to bleed ( eeeeuuugghhhhh) I font pull on a running shirt without taping up.

Really cheap and easy, also comes off quite nicely after a good sweat.
