I tape mine when I run (2-3 times a week) but not when I ride, 60% + humidity will do that to you

If unable to comply with rule 5, then a cream and bandaids will have to do.

It’s not difficult to tie something across the two shoulder straps and pull them towards the middle away from your nipples.twizzle wrote:Oh... in that case - toughen up, princess.jules21 wrote:it isn't actually the jersey, but the straps of my well-worn bib knicks.twizzle wrote:Never do a long ride with a new jersey.

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.Tim wrote:Just 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.

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.
