This painful phenomenon was amplified if the workout occurred in foul weather conditions like rain, heat, snow, heavy winds or high humidity. For most athletes (primarily men), nipple chafing was limited to a mild yet painful stinging sensation — with an intensely painful “surprise” often being felt for the first time in the shower after the workout. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrior to NipGuards\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e, a variety of make-shift solutions proved mostly ineffective. Bandages or tape that adhered to the chest would repeatedly fall off due to sweat or chest hair ruining the adhesive. Messy petroleum-based jelly would rub off and need to be reapplied throughout the workout, only to rub off again… and would also stain shirts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNipGuards\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e were designed and patented (by marathon runners)\u003c\/strong\u003e as a foolproof solution to prevent nipple chafing and abrasion without the need for reapplication during a workout and without staining shirts.
