Band-aids are the way to go – no nipple chafage ever on the long runs.

They do work but for me the band aids stick to the hair on my chest and it really hurts when I pull them off. Also, when they get wet they don’t stick too good.

They make special “nip-guards” which are basically the size of your nipple that you can buy. It’s a small round band-aid. You could also shave a bit of the hair off of your chest around the nipples.

I don’t have that particular problem; I shave the little that is there anyway so they just come right off.

I’ve never had a problem with them staying on when they are wet; they are dry when applied and they just always stay on for me.

Thanks Perry. I enjoyed your article on chafing as well. Another good way to prevent nipple chafing is to buy water-resistant band-aids. The best type is made by Curad and are less expensive than “Nipguards”. They work very well, are not painful to remove (you are wet enough after a run that it doesn’t even hurt if you have hair around your nipples) and have remained in place for the entirety of every marathon that I have ever run. For everywhere other than nipples, I still stick by BodyGlide!

armour wear

I am all for it. I wonder how many folks actually use these. I built a small store that grew into over 100 thousands items. Its crazy how fast it grows!. Anyway. I agree!

Armourwear is overpriced. Thankfully there is some competition starting to show up. 20 bucks compared to 50 bucks for a tshirt.

It could be overpriced but all I know is that it works. You didn’t post the names of any cheaper competition so I can’t recommend any other options.
