Jogger’s nipple is caused by friction from the repeated rubbing of a t-shirt or other upper body clothing against the nipples during a prolonged period of exercise.
The condition is suffered from mainly by runners. Long-distance runners are especially prone, because they are exposed to the friction on the nipple for the greatest period of time. However, it is not only suffered by athletes; the inside of a badge, or a logo on normal items of clothing can also cause the friction which results in this condition.
The condition is easily preventable. Viable methods include:
Running shirtless whenever weather permits.
Using a large, loose-fitting T-shirt during exercise.
Sticking a small bandage or paper surgical tape over each nipple before the commencement of exercise, to act as a barrier between skin and cloth.
If the skin is already damaged, apply a pure lanolin product (e.g. Lansinoh or Bag Balm) to the area prior to exercise to prevent chafing. If the skin is not damaged, a barrier product (e.g. Vaseline) can be used. These products do not allow air to circulate around damaged skin; this can prevent healing if used over a period of time. NU-Skin liquid Bandage can be very helpful for healing although it may sting initially, it also works as a preventative and is more discreet than tape.
Using specialized products available to prevent the condition such as rash guards.
Wearing a sports bra, shimmel,
compression vest, or some variety of chest binding clothing.
This condition should clear within a few days. If not, medical attention is warranted.
That latest FA tool on the blog must be a prototype. No opposable thumb!? Huh! Also, it looks a bit like it could sure make some sore/red nipples! Org.
Kenny will NEVER be any fun, shytimes2, but I will…
(AND, I will never ever have to worry about sore nipples from jogging. I spit on jogging, and spit on the graves of the ancestors of those who DO jog.)
All day about “Jogger’s Nipple” and nobody has mentioned that this malady is the result of a serious wardrobe malfunction,
I think Anita Ekberg is about to have her own malfunction on the blog, too. Whatever happened to Catherine?
shytimes2… I can tell you’re going to fit in just fine in these
here parts…welcome! tee-hee
And as far as being no fun, all I can say is that sometimes I say things I really didn’t mean to say… or I say things so others won’t have to say them… or I even go so far as to say one thing so others won’t understand what it is I’m really trying to say… know what I’m sayin’? wink
I once had Oenology Nipple; rare, but….there, despite all reports to the contrary. Usually results from over exposure to an imbalance of fruit acid to tannic acid in robust red wines during crazed bacchanalia. More: in a related field, this is what Cider House Rules were enacted to prevent in the making of apple juice. Uh huh. Over to you, Roger.

This was not exactly what I was thinking of when I observed there was less T than A on Frog Blog. The lesson here is be careful what you wish for.
