Default Joggers nipple

Anyone ever had it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fissure_of_the_nipple

Apparently 80% of runners in the uk get it at some point.

Never had it in the nipples, maybe cause I'm asian and have no body hair and it's smooth as heck? I do however get chafing on rare instances on the back of my left underarm/pits.

I've had really bad cases of it, especially here in Florida. I sweat so badly that Body Glide just isn't enough.

I don't know why, but I thought this was hilarious when I read about it when I started running. My wife thinks it's disgusting, both that it can happen and that I find it funny.

Mine got a little raw during a 14k last august while wearing the tech shirt that came free with the race, but they didn't actually bleed through the shirt.

I've had blood trails on my shirt before. And holy balls were showers uncomfortable for a while afterwards.

I used to run quite a bit when I was capable. First started in Florida and much of it in Mississippi/Alabama. Never had this happen or come remotely close...

I've found that a couple of band-aids placed strategically takes care of the problem.

Yup, but mostly when younger. I always blamed the rough texture of my t shirts.

I havn't had this happen in a long long time thoguh.

Never had it. Buddies I train with have had it, regardless of cotton vs tech shirt. Bodyglide is normally a better solution than bandaids.

Band-aids and/or a slightly snugger shirt. I found I got a lot more nipple pain when I grabbed just a baggy skanky shirt from the closet, than a fitted shirt.

I first got it when I ran a 5Miler in the rain. I never bled though. When I read up on the Wiki link you gave I actually lol'd when I read the 'Red Eleven' in the 'other names' section!

I've gotten it since that first time, but mostly in the Summer / warmer months and most times it is only when I'm doing good distances (over 5.5 miles). Like others, I usually use some cut down band-aids to cover my nipples at first onset or before I do a long run.

Never experienced chaffed nipples myself. My chaffing occurs between my inner thighs and after 30 miles, between the butt cheeks. I counter by keeping some kind of lube in my drop bags to re-apply regularly. I refuse to drop any lube into my ass crack though.

I've gotten a little chaffing a few times, but never close to blood!

When running I usually have a really red breast, it looks like a nasty sun burn. Touching it and especially showering hurts. Today I wore a really tight undershirt and there was no redness, no chaffing, everything was fine.

So my advice:
Get clothes that are as tight as possible so nothing rubs against your skin. Goes for the women, too!
