Been there, done that... and it seems like a lot lately! The band-aids I'm using aren't sticking. Although it seems to hurt less and less each time. ![]()
I think the women will remind us not to wear white . . . LOL!
Hmmm... while the blood running down your shirt is kind of gross, the rest of the photo is just fine
!
With all the tech fabric "breakthroughs," people still haven't solved this issue........

Happened to me too on my 8-mile pace run two days ago. The worst part, to me, is when the water hits it in the shower. Yeowww! Welcome to the Band of the Bloody Nipple. On any run over 10 miles (and going forward, any run over an hour), I hit 'em with a touch of Bodyglide, then put on those little round band-aids. Just be sure to put the Bodyglide on just the tip, otherwise the band-aid may not stick as well. The Bodyglide is really just a back-up in case the band aid falls off. I wound up wearing the band-aids all day Wednesday after my run - that night when I took my shirt off, my wife was down the hall and gave me this WTF!? look - I told her it's illegal to go topless in Virginia, so I had to wear them for my male stripper job - that'll teach her to ask questions.
There's a great episode of The Office where they have a company 5K, and one of the guys is bleeding profusely under his shirt by the end of the race. I was LMAO, but I think only runners get the joke, becuase I had to explain it to someone else who saw the show.
If you guys were comfortable in your manhood, you'd wear a bra like the rest of us and that wouldn't happen.
Exploding gel packets and spilled sports drinks make fine fashion statements, too!
Have you tried moleskin?
Yikes...hope you are feeling better. Moleskin is great for preventing chafing and blisters. It is very, very sticky so be careful when removing.
The way to go about this might be to put a bandaid on first, cover that with moleskin so you wouldn't have to pull the whole thing off, and it would stay on and guess what, no blood.

They don't make a bra in my size.
And I'm definitely NOT that comfortable. I never want to answer the question "Have you ever worn women's clothing?" in the affirmative, thank you very much. ![]()
Amateur hour. You should've seen me at the end of the Philly Marathon last year - bloody shirt, blood dripping down from both legs (MAJOR thigh chafing). I wrapped myself in a mylar blanket as soon as I could so they'd stop asking me if I wanted medical assistance. But I was ecstatic, it was my first sub-4!!

And that made it worth every drop!!!!

Yup, I already picked up a pack at my local running store (If The Shoe Fits). Apparently, Body Glide isn't nearly enough when it's really humid.
