How do I prevent blisters, chafing and bloody nipples?
A. Bodyglide is the magic product that every runner troubled by the above problems should have in his or her traveling bag. It’s a wax-like substance similar to stick underarm deodorants that you slather over sensitive parts. Yes, you could use Vaseline or any slippery substance, but Bodyglide lasts longer. Various other products can be purchased at the drug store to protect against foot blisters, although you need to determine what causes the blisters. Often the answer is in the shoe. You also may want to consult with a podiatrist. With chafing or bloody nipples, the problem often is compounded by the clothing you wear. Smooth, synthetic fibers chafe less than cotton. Check out the C9 line of sportswear sold at Target stores. Women are protected somewhat against bloody nipples by their sports bras; men actually have more trouble. Band-Aids over the nipples work as well as various nipple guards available in running stores.
