NipGuard Run Guard - 10 Pairs

NipGuards are an unconventional product that the vast majority of individuals—approximately 99.9% of the population—will never require. Patented and introduced to the market in 1999, NipGuards transformed the industry by offering an innovative solution for preventing painful nipple chafing and abrasions.

Before the advent of NipGuards, endurance athletes frequently suffered from nipple chafing during prolonged training sessions. This discomfort was caused by dried sweat and body salts, which acted as a coarse, sandpaper-like layer between the chest and clothing, such as shirts or wetsuits. The severity of this irritation was often exacerbated by harsh weather conditions, including rain, extreme heat, snow, strong winds, or high humidity. For most athletes, this chafing resulted in a mildly painful stinging sensation, with the full extent of discomfort often becoming apparent only when taking a post-workout shower. In more severe cases, athletes would experience openly bleeding abrasions on the tips of their nipples, a condition that was not uncommon.

Prior to NipGuards, various improvised solutions were attempted, though they largely proved ineffective. Bandages or adhesive tape applied to the chest frequently detached due to sweat or chest hair interfering with the adhesive. Similarly, petroleum-based gels created a messy alternative that required frequent reapplication, only to wear off repeatedly. In addition, these gels often left unsightly stains on clothing.
