Runner's Nipple

@if ®afiq · 13 Apr 2006 at 12:19

Right, last night I ran my personal best (on the treadmill) but unfortunatly my nipples didn't come out too good. Both were sore and infact the right one started to bleed a wee bit...

so what do you runners do to prevent Runner's Nipple? (Does anyone else get them?)

I think I'll got for the micropore option...thanks

I wear those "breathable" footballer type tops which are quite light...I suppose the fact that I've got mini man-boobs doesn't help!

Synthetic fabrics dont help. And use vaseline, though it can be a bit embarrasing buying it

I'd be more concerned about getting wet patches from the vaseline around my nipples, before I even start running!
