Girl problem (bra-related) (Read 1221 times)

Okay, so I am relatively small chested, which means that any sports bra works for me in terms of support and comfort, even for a marathon ... but after running for a while and sweating (and maybe dumping water over my neck) my nipples get, well, highly visible. HEADLIGHTS ON I'm not having any kind of chafing problem - it's purely aesthetic (I wanna be able to show my students pictures of me crossing a finish line, but I feel a bit uncomfortable about it when, well, you know, my girls are so awake) Are there any solutions to this problem, or should I just photoshop my midsection? Thanks Sarah

My wife has the same "problem" but I don't complain about it. Do you wear a shirt over your sports bra? That's the only way she's managed to conceal her headlights.

As a male PIG (and dirty ole man), Ive seen this a few times and have never considered this to really be a problem - rather a benefit of running with women...... However this entire conversation gives credence to a WOMAN's ONLY Forum........Eric, any chance for a little section in RA for women only discussions.....and us guy have to stay out so the women can have a serious conversation about womans issues?

Yeah, see ... many of my students are 16 year-old boys, so ... I know it's not a HUGE issue (especially with my wee size A girls and all) ... I mean, I am wearing either a tank or a tee over my bra (sometimes printed t-shirts help divert attention away from the headlights, but I like those wicking tees, and I don't have any with distracting patterns). It's not like I'm being indecent or like people would get offended by my girls. I just get self conscious. After races I grab a towel and drape it so that I can at least have conversations with people without being like "hey! eyes up here, buddy!" Hahahaha I'll check out the website you suggest, Kirsten (and your group! cool! girls only!) because I would pay $40 to solve the problem (if it could be solved) And sorry if the topic makes the boys uncomfortable - I run with a group of guys, and THEY have never complained ...

You know they make silicone nipple covers (check google and amazon). Otherwise, I suggest you get paint.net (it's free) and blur them out. I mentioned the nipple covers in another post here.

Here is the thing, I'm a teacher too of 10th - 12th graders. And here is what I learned - there is NOTHING you can do to stop the fantasies so you might as well just show them the pictures... No matter how hard I try to wear things to hide my ladies and to keep the cold away from my chest (even in warm weather) it just doesn't always work! So I say be proud of your accomplishment and know that they have already thought about you nekkid so you bein nipplie in a photo won't change that. And actually since they've already thought about you nekkid they will probably be able to actually enjoy the photo for what it is - a finish line photo! PS. It is my Hubby who ruined my fantasy about them not fantasizing! Damn him!!

I so would like to cling to my fantasy that the boys wouldn't fantasize about me ... but I guess boys would fantasize about trees if they were standing in front of the room! Hahahahaha Well, I certainly am not uncomfortable discussing the topic with guys - I know many of you run with women or have wives or girlfriends, and often have good solutions to girl problems. I will look into silicone nipple covers, but I'm not promising anything ... really comfort is the foremost consideration. Sarah

I don't even have any idea what y'all look like, but I'm thinking of you naked right now.
