    Thanks for the laugh. I was imagining you cutting nipple sized circles out of his t-shirts for him to wear so that they were open in the front and wouldn't rub his nipples. Try wearing THAT to the Grocery Store!!!

    I've seen guys running marathons who use lots of vaseline to solve that problem.

    Makes you glad your a girl for some things, huh?!

    Snug Baselayer. It also helps keep the band aids in place if he still has a problem. I'll still have a problem a couple times a year, but it's usually comes from bib straps rubbing on an old base layer.

    to help them heal, get the cream women use when they breastfeed. it is great for that. to prevent i second the snug underlayer. although my hubby uses a tshirt under his jersey. the shirt is loose but the jersey is not. it works for him though.

    nip covers

    At the running store here, they actually sell "nip aids" or something...basically sweat proof band-aids for your nips. My husband swears by body glide. He has a few shirts that he won't work for long runs because of nip irritation. I was amazed the first time I went to actually see a marathon, the number of men crossing the finish line with bloody shirt fronts from nipple irritation.

    The first man, I was shocked. The second, I was curious. The third, I was thinking...why hasn't someone invented something for this?????
