    There are silicon nipple covers specifically designed for this issue. Here is one brand-I'm sure there are others: http://www.dimrs.com If you have a lingerie store nearby (Lady Grace comes to mind), that may be a good place to inquire.

    Try the Handful bra. Sports bra with removable pads, perfect for small people. I only wear this bra when exercising; I had the same issue.

    It doesn't seem troll-y…. The original post wasn't salacious and they didn't come back with silly/odd or inappropriate responses to the serious posts of solutions. Some people actually do worry about it. Personally I don't care, and would say don't worry about it, but for some folks, I guess it's embarrassing.

    i didn't assume that as some of my runner friends have a need and even if it is the case there are some good suggestions for help for those who don't want to be embarassed by erect nipples while exercising or for that matter, anytime.

    Nipple chafing is actually a lot bigger issue for male runners than female. They mostly just use bandaids. But yeah, some women worry about it, and there are several products in the fitness catalogs, as well as bras with plastic covers over the areola area.

    I didn't think it was a troll, either. This was a big problem for me, even as a "small" person in that department. I stopped wearing cycling halters because of it. I only buy tanks for the gym that have the modesty pads. It might not be a big deal to others, but it is for me, and I am generally not modest at all. For some reason, this issue makes me feel naked with clothes on, in public.

    I just recommend you don't use silicon nipple covers, those causes many causes of diseases
