Keep 'em hairy.
Keep 'em hairy.
Never a problem—pigeon chest. But I used to use petro. jelly on thighs—and ticking off my wife about the laundry thing.
Put on a base layer of newskin, small waterproof bandaid on top. As the newskin dries, it will secure the bandaid to the skin so it doesn't come off when sweating.
3M papertape--lasts forever
Vaseline is made of petroleum, which is a xenoestrogen. Xenoestrogens can ultimately inflame and increase the girth of your nipples, which, in the long run, exacerbates the very problem you tried to solve.
This. The only time I ever had nipple issues was the one time I shaved my chest. Once the hair grew back the issue went away.
I once used vaseline during a group activity in Thailand, samething happened!

Back when Letsrun used to be a running message board , I received a great tip to use surgical tape with transpore that you buy at any Pharmacy. It works like a charm for 10 years.
But the downside is that it fries your running shirt pretty quickly. You get this 1" honeycomb spot from the friction where you have the tape.
Anybody using anything that does the trick to stop chaffing yet not snag up your shirts?
(PS. it is not necessary for anyone to comment and say that you go shirtless. It adds nothing to the topic)
Duct tape always works. I have been using it for 3 years and my nipples haven't chafed since then.
Crazy glue always works for me. The best part is I only have to reapply once a week sometimes every other week. In fact it works so good I haven't been able to feel my nipples in 3 years.
Shave and tape. Next.

I have been using Nipeaze for years and never noticed any problems with friction with shirts.
Electrical tape for me

Talk to the nipple!
Long, sweat drenched runs in heat and humidity will teach you the tricks.
I found success with slivers of silver tape. Put half an X, or slash, diagonally over the nipple. Stays on and friction doesnt occur but hard to get off by itself. What you want to do is take a shower right after and they will peel off easier.
Also, a thicker than a band-aid cut of standard white athletic tape to cover a chafable surface area on the head of your penis. Top of half of head, just under the hole and enough to cover the rim lining where the head inverts into the shaft. This type of chafing occurs from drenched shorts and is a super burning stinger in the shower. Not a good surprise at all and as bad as unthawing. The athletic tape also comes off real easily in the shower afterward.
vaseline if it's too cold to go shirtless. I have permanent greasy stains on my running shirts but I'm ok with that.
If you trained properly for your marathon you should have no problem with nipple chafing.
