    "You can't run a marathon without putting Bandaides on your nipples!"

    Many of you might've heard this in a commercial for the film, "Horrible Bosses." I hilariously just discovered that those words are based on an apparent fact that a certain percentage of runners have problems with their nipples chaffing against their top while running: http://www.runnersworld.com/communit...ers-runners/.0

    I used to run a lot and I never had or heard of the problem; maybe they have to get hard? Anyway, my favorite posts from the thread:
    just remember to take off the tape/bandaids if you take off your shirt. non-runners look at you like your some kind of kinky weirdo otherwise. see the look on the ladies face in the pic above.
    I have to use Body Glide because bandaids won't stick to my skin (there's way too much hair). I know, TMI.
    Over 50 posts about nipples?
    Thought I'd share.

    Having completed six marathons, I can attest that this is a problem for some runners. And it is VERY irritating and uncomfortable.

    Vaseline can help with the chafing. Serious.

    There's an AFL player called Wojcinski who had his shirt ripped off by an opposition played. In front of a national audience, we was that he had tape over his nipples. His reason also was that it's to prevent chaffing.

    It kind of seemed a little funny because it's not what every one was expecting.

    I used to have this problem when I used to run -- and yes it is probably partly due to the stifness of the nips, in my case I think it was also due to my running motion, I was trying to lose weight so the idea was to get my pulse to a target rate and then keep it there for at least 25 minutes or so -- therefore I wasn't really interested in my times or running fast, it was more about just finding a running motion I could sustain, and as I result I had a lot of side to side movement going on (a kind of a funny looking waddle you know) rather than expending more energy hurtling myself forward. And I think that all this side to side resulted in the shirt rubbing back and forth across me nips ------ A LOT!
