I wouldn't want to disgust you. The moobs will be gone in a couple of weeks.... but I still won't post pics.
You anticipate some heavy duty chafing??

6 pages on nipple chaffing is too much for me to read so forgive me if this has been said:
Put neosporen on them once they are chaffed, it knocks a few days off the healing process, get the kind that numbs pain a bit.
Then start wearing bandaids or use body glide.
HTFU? Why not!

I'm surprised no one has proposed this already: take a pair of scissors and cut two holes in your shirts in the appropriate locations. You might get some funny looks and potentially some come-ons, but you sure won't have a problem with nipple chafing anymore.

How does this work out in the winter with multiple layers? I think if anyone tried it the next thread would be about "nipple frost bite."

I said this a while ago, and got scoffed at, but now I've done the math, and I think a better solution than Bandaids really is Kinesio tape. It feels much better, is soft, stays on until you are done running, then peels off with minimal pain and hair pulling. If you cut 1/2 x 1/2 inch squares, they cost less than one cent each, compared to Bandaids for about 10 or 20 cents each, depending on the type. Even if you have larger nipples, the cost savings will be significant after 20 years, or so (about $2,000 if you run 5 times a week)

Why do you take your bandaids off?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

1. Neosporin often causes allergic reactions and really should never be used for anything. Inflamed allergiv nipples is, er, bad.
2. Nipple chafing usually heals in a day or so, so I am not sure how you can knock a few days off.
Is nipple chafing so extreme that you need plasters for every run?
I'd always assumed it was the particularly wet, long or sweaty ones where chafing was a big issue.
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
It looks silly at the swimming pool if you keep them on.
You could draw some nipples on.

Typically, but you never know when it might strike AND when you run every day, the risk rises.
Fair enough, sometimes I'm glad to be female.
My nipple chafing equivalent seems to arise at random too, not related to mileage, temperature or anything I can fathom.
Not in my experience. And recidivist nipples are especially slow to heal (and quick to re-re-chafe).

This man is a genius! I bought some KT Tape years ago and have never found it to do anything useful for me until I read your post while searching for a nip-fix last night. Holy hell - this is the best and most cost effective nipple chafing solution that exists.
