Getting Tape to Stick
Hi!
I've recently switched to trying Micropore tape to prevent runners' nipple, but I have trouble getting it to stick properly, as it never really gets onto the skin - just the hairy bits.
Anyone got any solutions, other than to shave strips either side of my nipples?

there is a joggers nipple thread somewhere here
....best suggestion seemed to be corn-plasters over t'nips - depends on how big they are and how hairy...
Maybe I should stick to smaller bits of tape.
I got the suggestion for Micropore tape from the thread you mentioned - I've been trying it out for the last couple of runs.
Hope this helps
I'll go and raid the local hospital now ;-)
is it available in Boots and stuff?
The answer is to wax your chest - that way the pain from runners nipple will suddenly seem insignificant and the tape will stick ;-)
