Re: sore nipplesNever do a long ride with a new jersey.
I ride, therefore I am.

Re: sore nipples
it isn't actually the jersey, but the straps of my well-worn bib knicks.
Re: sore nipplesIf there is persistent swelling, see the gp and get a prescription for elocon. Then develop a strategy for keeping rubbing to a minimum. ( from clothes ).
Re: sore nipplesJust finished posting Bepanthen as a saddle sore remedy. It also works on mother's nipples. On the label it advises using a different tube for each application ie, one for babies bum, and another one for mum.
Re: sore nipplesBandaids.
I tape mine when I run (2-3 times a week) but not when I ride, 60% + humidity will do that to you 2012 Merida Reacto 904
Re: sore nipplesWear an undershirt. I have an Assos one for summer and a long sleeve one for winter. Always wear them.

If unable to comply with rule 5, then a cream and bandaids will have to do. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Of course, W B&D is the bodily equivalent of Duct Tape, it fixes anything. Or at least, it makes you forget about whatever was originally troubling you... ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: sore nipples
It’s not difficult to tie something across the two shoulder straps and pull them towards the middle away from your nipples.
Re: sore nipples
Bepanthen is also good to rub on new tattoos (twice daily for the first two or threer weeks) during the scabbing stage. Just thought you'd like to know. Some days you are a big, strutting rooster, some days you are a bit chicken and some days you are just a complete cocque.

Re: sore nipplesIt’s not difficult to tie something across the two shoulder straps and pull them towards the middle away from your nipples.[/quote] Or, conversely, tie something to each of the nipples and pull them towards the middle and away from the shoulder straps. An occy strap might do it. Nipple removal would not only solve the problem permanently but also give you something to talk about at barbecues.

Re: sore nipples
Then you could have them tattooed on and help them heal with Bepanthen
Re: sore nipplesAhhhh, the circle of life. Kinda.
