Seriously though, vas etc does work. I don't bother on my nips any more as they have toughened. Don't forget to use the stuff elsewhere too. As your runs get longer, you'll find a new place you'll need it each week. For me, it's toes, insteps, inner thigh where the shorts liner rubs, small of back where sweat runs follow that sweat, ahem, further down. Some need it under arms. Bodyglide really is better than vas as it stays there and is far less messy to apply, but it is considerably more expensive gram for gram. It's worth it though.
Mr S used to have this problem, but now uses Decathlon's own brand anti-chafing cream, which I'm sure will be cheaper than Bodyglide and works really well for him.
Try catching your nipple bar on the door in the morning when your still half asleep trying to get out of the bedroom............ Only bled for ikkle while

Micropore tape is far superior to Vaseline in my opinion. it stays on for 4 hours +, comes off easily and is far less messy. I hate having vaseliney fingers when running! for half marathon + distances it is useful for underarms though.
No potions or creams, just a tight technical vest (it doesn’t move, so it doesn’t rub) and loose technical shorts with a liner – if you get the right fit and materials you don’t need anything else IMHO.

Vaseline works for me when it is dry, but when it rains heavily no amount of vaseline will work - (always in tech shirts)
+1 for the micropore tape.
I normally double over a piece to actually cover the offending areas and then tape it in place, that way not as painful to remove later in the shower!
TMI for a Monday morning!
My Squeeze uses wide micropore tape.
