Boobs
Well not so much , but I made you look. My mileage for the marathon is building up and my shirts are rubbing my nipples raw. I use Body Glide and wicking shirts. It's hot I sweat the shirts get heavy the movement up and down is murder and the miles are growing which leaves more time for the sandpaper effect.
What to do, other than run shirtless ?

During IMs, I put white athletic tape over each of mine, in a "+" pattern. No problems during.
After...well, that's another story. When you're the most tired, post-race, I've got to peel the tape off - along with some chest hair! yowza!
If I ever revert to using Tape I'm shaving my chest hair, which will result in laughing from my wife....
2) Body Glide, thankfully, fully cures this problem for me. It can be godawful painful so I hope you get it worked out.
$20 if you buy some pasties with tassels.
Never tried tape or band-aids for fear of the hair removal problem. A good dolop of vasaline on each side seems to last along time for me.
@ Lynne, I just put the order in.
@ John, I'd only do a sports bra if they offered matching panties
@ Scott, ha ha got ya , sounds painful
@ Nate, got it the heat is on , compression later, now why would your wife laugh at a grown man shaving his chest.... ha ha..
@ Al, the order is in.
@ William, bandaids are purchased.
@ Attila, Scooby Do...why not
@ Bob, sorry be glad I didn't enclose pictures.
@ Rian, If our coaches can wear pink banana holders I'm man enough to do pasties...
@ All, thanks for the advice, bandaids are in the house nipguards are on order and today I just ran without the shirt, I need a healing ...Amen
Sonofa...
OK - NO idea if this will work for a dude or not, but I'm telling you - best invention ever. I tried to get John on board with this idea but he was skeptical, so I'm still in need of a guinea pig. I had these things called Lily Padz left from when our kids were born, tried them one day during training, and they were AWESOME (not that I have the same issue as you guys, but, uh... well... they make things more "comfortable," let's say). They're silicone and "self sticking," so no painful post workout removal...
Here's a link, and if you're man enough to try it out, let me know how it goes!

Also, tech t's from A1 seem to work well. Most others get me bad.
You've raised the bar on thread titles garnering attention!
@John - You're right. No self respecting man should wear something called Lily Padz. I think this is the perfect opportunity for you guys to get together and create/market your own silicone Man Padz. With the 'z.' ;-) There's obviously a need for them!
Some guys in my tri club have formed a band: The Red Elevens
Get it?
Harharhar
@ Lynne, funny and I remember that episode too good find.
