Stop nipple chafing before it starts
SOHO Athletica nipple covers are thin, breathable adhesive pads that sit between your skin and your shirt. The fabric rubs on the cover, not on you, so you finish long runs without raw or bleeding nipples.
Runners call it jogger's nipple. It gets worse with distance, heat, rain and cotton shirts. Applying a pair takes less than a minute.
Why runners use them
Made for marathon training, race day and any session where your shirt rubs.
Water resistant
Made to stay on through sweat, humidity and wet-weather runs.
Breathable and comfortable
A soft 70% polyester, 30% viscose cover that lets skin breathe.
Sized to cover
1.38 in (35 mm) across, with a 0.79 in (20 mm) gauze pad in the center.
50 pairs in every box
One pair per run covers 50 runs, from your first long run to race day.
How to apply them
Apply to clean, dry skin before you get dressed. It takes less than a minute.
Trim excess hair
Remove hair around the nipple so the adhesive grips skin.
Clean and dry the area
Wash off sweat, oil and lotion, then dry the skin fully.
Peel from the backing film
Hold the cover by its edge to keep the adhesive clean.
Press on for 5 seconds
Center the gauze pad over the nipple and press firmly.
Storage: keep the box in a cool, dry place so the adhesive stays fresh.
Built for any sport that rubs
Chafing is not only a runner's problem. Cyclists, surfers, triathletes and gym athletes wear SOHO covers under jerseys, rash vests and compression tops. They also help during yard work and other physical labor.
