Nip Guards

I got these after previously using NipEase. NipGuards are far superior. Rather than covering you like a piece of tape, these have a foam ring that makes a flat-top "tent" over your nipples. They stay on a lot better, even with a lot of sweat on a long run. My rule of thumb is that I use them for any run over 8 miles, kind of starting point for my chaffing. I used these in a winter marathon and they stayed on in spite of cold weather running gear rubbing on them. Sweat doesn't seem to have any effect on the adhesive. These are so much better, I downgraded my previous NipEase review.

I bought these to wear on long runs and to wear during the Tough Mudder. Needless to say, they went through just about everything during the Tough Mudder (climbing walls, crawling thru mud pits, etc.) and they worked amazingly! There was no pulling and they stayed in place until after the mud run was over. A simple Band-Aid will work on short runs (and will be much cheaper) but if you are an endurance athlete or if you sweat a lot on long runs then you will want to give these guys a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

These things work, pretty well. Only bad is if you sweat a butt load they might start to peel off.

I have never found anything that worked as well at preventing chafing as this product. Bandaids might seem like an alternative, but they just fell off at 6 or so miles. When you are running longer than that, bandaids are essentially worthless. I highly recommend Nipguards

First of all, I don't see where to leave seller feedback for Amazon. Once I do, I will do that and re-rate these as 4 or 5 stars. It's one of the few times I've had problems with Amazon shipping.They worked better for me than bandaids which tended to get wet and start peeling off the chest.I got them from another source, though. I needed them before a marathon, and paid $11 for two day shipping which put it on a Sunday, and I said OK, they will come Monday, no biggie, still time before the marathon, but regular shipping was cutting it close. So then when I tracked the package, it said the order was returned to Amazon! Why? And my credit card was still charged the full amount.I still haven't received the order. The marathon is already over. I'd still take them for future use, but I would expect to be reimbursed for shipping at the very least.A couple tricks to make them work better for other people having problems.1. Wash your chest near the nipples with soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly. Any oil on there from normal living will cause them not to stick as well.2. Bend the plastic backing at the edge and underneath the nip guard before attempting to peel it off. (I ruined a couple just trying to peel the nip guard off directly).Another thing to try is shaving any hair around the nipples, and bandaids work pretty well, too then (I tried it once, but don't want to keep doing it). The main advantage of Nipguards is they don't go over any hair (unless your nipple has hair right on the pink part, I guess).UPDATE:I did receive the product about a week AFTER I would have expected the 2 day delivery. So, wasted money on 2 day shipping.

I bought these to use while doing long runs. They are a foam 'ring' about 1/8 inch thick with a thin cover that creates a pocket. I'm sure they would work great at protection, but they look ridiculous. I wear typical running shirts of technical/blended fabric. When I tried these on and then put my shirt on, it looked like I had radio knobs for nipples. I'm secure but not that secure. Back to bandaids for me. Sorry, no pics.

I'm a guy. I'm active and want something to help make the lines smoother and to avoid irritation and rawness when working out, running, bicycle riding. Alone, these don't work for me. I don't consider my nipples to be enormous, but they're not tiny. I found that by using this product with 3 of the very inexpensive "Mr. Nipple" in a triangle, centered over the Nip Guard, worked very well and held for over 24 hours before removing it. That was a test before trying it under a pressure situation. But then the Mr. Nipple product works well in that form, without this, too.

I bought these after going on my first long distance run and experiencing some of the most severe chafing I have ever experienced. I used them for the first time today for my 14 mile run and There was not a single issue with them falling off or coming loose. They were simple to put on and painless to remove at the end. I know other options such as band-aids may work, but I have a lot of chest hair and ripping those hairs out isn't something I want to deal with. In the end it would be nice if they were a bit cheaper, but at the current price I will continue to purchase and use these for my long distance runs.
