OH MY GOD! THAT IS ME - MINUS THE HAIR!!!!!!!!

oooowwwwww!! I don't know what you should do, but I am surely hurting for you. Just reading your entry was painful. By the way, most awesome run!!!!!

Not speaking from personal experience, but I think the weapon of choice is a little athletic tape over the offending mammary units. Or maybe you could wear a sports bra but call it something else? A cardio supporter? A manboob jock? The possibilities are delightful and endless....

tape, band-aids, or vaseline will usually do the trick. This used to happen to me all the time in soccer games.

Yeah, you'd look like a dork wearing a sports bra. Wetsuit at the pool is ok, but a man in a jog bra (remember the "Bro" from Seinfeld)? No, sports bras haven't caused me any chafing. Try bandaids or bodyglide.

LOL. How about a "Manzere?"

Pasties perhaps?

I have one shirt I know I can't wear as it always causes bleeding. I now am conscious about the fabric of shirts I run in.

check RRS for NipGuards.  I've heard they work.

bodyglide or bandaids. lansinoh will help them heal in the mean time.

Well, I hear the "Smashing Pumpkins" are no longer playing together so the "Bleeding Nipples" would sort of fill that void now wouldn't they!?!

Good gosh! It's bad enough we have to worry about going the distance, but BLEEDING NIPPLES?! This sport has many more dangers than I was aware of.

Ow...hurting for you. I've never ran enough to experience this, but I've ran basically 0 so I'm not looking forward to any future experiences like this. Good warning!

I remeber the first time my nipples bleed. High tech fabrics help, and tight fitting. They are softer, smoother and don't move as much. The best solution is topless. No shirt at all to rub on the nips. Band aids work for me when it happens.
The weather will also play an important role. If it is humid and cold you are in trouble. Your nips will be nipping and your shirt will get heavy with sweat and just like sand paper rub you raw.

by the way nice run. Ten miles is a big marker.

I'm not sure if the neighborhood is ready for that - I can't speak for Tom, but I just don't think my neighbors would appreciate that sight!

Yep.... 2 words. Nip Guards.
Worth every penny.

"Nip Guards"?!? What will they think of next? Hey, can we get pictures of those...any volunteers to model them?

I'll volunteer YOU Michel!  LOL

I guess I've never had to worry about this since mine are always bound down in a bra when I run. Based on that experience (basically, that tight and unmoving = no bleeding) I'd tell you to do anything possible to mimic what a sports bra does. For women, a good sports bra will prohibit all motion and not rub up and down against the skin. My vote would be for bandaids. Your nips probably can be covered by them easily. That way, you can wear any shirt you want and the bandaids will protect from chafing. Just be sure to trip any hair around the areola so the bandaid doesn't stick.

BTW, OOOUUCCHHH, ouch, ouch, OUCH!

Also, congrats on your personal best. What's a little nipple bleeding when you've accomplished something so cool!

Here's the nipguard website: http://www.nipguards.com/

OMG, the before pics are something out of a horror movie! I knew that women could bleed due to nursing, but I never ever thought about men bleeding! :-(

OMG!! That's must be painfull. Just looking at the nipguard page, im holding my nips like it was me!!, OMG!!

You must have a very pointy nipps.

I was just thinking that bandaids might not stick very well. I've found that Curaid waterproof bandaids stay on very good, through hardwork, sweating and even a shower.

I also wonder if liquid bandage would provide a nice thin layer of protection. That stuff stays on pretty good and isn't hard to apply.

I have never had a problem, even running in big old T-shirts. Mostly I just wanted to be able to say I posted in a thread with the name "Bleeding Nipples."
