Nips - Appalachian Trail

Don’t know if any of you guys have a problem with tee-shirts rubbing your “nips” raw. Great solution: Johnson & Johnson plastic surgical tape. Most drug stores carry it. Simply tear off a 1/2" x 1/2" square and stick it on. It says on and problem solved!

Depends… My base layer doesnt rub (i use my mountain biking top. helly hanson number. goood sweat wicker). If i’ve no base in summer, my tshirt is fairly loose. Not had that rubbing problem…

with this groups love of duck tape, i’m surgical tape is less painful in removal than the old duck :slight_smile:

I agree with bloody cactus. Same problem often with distance running. I have tried band aids, vaseline etc. The clear tape works well. I have several pictures of myself crossing the finish line with bloody nippage when I forgot to tape up at the San Diego marathon. Looks like I was hit with a spear. Yuck!
Anyone ever use duct tape?

Yea zen monkey . . . I have tried duct tape. That’s why I suggested the Johnsons & Johnsons!! When getting the duct tape off I damn near ripped off my nips!!
