The nipple problem
 
Alright, so this is a bit of a strange question, but I find that the cycling/activewear shirts/jerseys that I buy tend to show my nipples pretty clearly, even if it's not that cold out. Sometimes I layer up my long-sleeve jersey with a sleeveless base layer underneath, but then it sometimes gets too warm (although I'm sure in the coming months I won't be saying this).

Any tips/tricks on how to avoid the nipple problem?

Consider them an asset rather than an embarrassment.

A bra?

Mitchxout 11-26-09 08:03 AM

Tape.

TRUMPHENT 11-26-09 08:10 AM

A tape bra, mine works perfectly.

Problem? Nipples are good.

Pasties. Tassles are optional.

who cares? if anyone stares just start rubbing them.

Assuming your a guy, really just don't ever think about it again. If you're a girl, well, still no big deal really, but if it really bothers you, tape or a bra. We all have nipples though, and it's not a secret.

Imagine my surprise this was not about wheel building.

BTW, why do men have nipples?

Solenoid 11-26-09 11:24 AM

Obviously aerodynamically this poses a big problem, the irregular flow around the nipples increases the drag dramatically and I too recommend tape to smooth things out. Otherwise don't buy these jerseys, you don't HAVE TO ride in the most skin tight gear.

Smear 'em with a little vasoline. If that doesn't work then tape 'em.


BTW if you are a female between the ages of 18-35, I could offer even more help if you would send a few pics of the offending region.

Seems that putting tape on top of vaseline would just cause the tape to fall off.

I meant tape without the vasoline. Obviously if the tape were applied post vasoline application, it would cause catastrophic tape failure.

To disprove the Intelligent Design theory of evolution.

Along with G telling the Jews that the foreskin had been a bit of a cock-up

We're all female at first

Cold nipples a problem ?

Find a company that makes a jersey with little airplane propellers...

I think I saw this or something similar on a Seinfeld episode.

pedalpedalpedal 11-26-09 06:00 PM

I'm a guy, and i know it's not really a big deal... I guess I'm being a bit self-conscious. Gah now I'm embarrassed for even posting this.

The one where Elaine is wearing a white shirt at her Xmas party, and they take a picture and then everyone is talking about how they could see her nipple?

denny.weinmann 11-26-09 07:04 PM

I like it when my nipples stick out! (sorry, I didn't have anything important to add to this thread, but I didn't want to miss out!)

newbeat 11-26-09 07:29 PM

totally thought this was going to be about spoke nipples.

SingingSabre 11-26-09 10:50 PM

I cover mine with tire patches.

Not really.

Just wear your nipple-enhancing jerseys with pride.

Same here! I grinned inside when I read the title, clicked on it expecting a discussion about some spoke issue with human nipple jokes sprinkled throughout, realized it was about human nipples, was amused guessing the OP is a girl, found the still present nipple jokes funny, and finally learned that the OP is a male. What a twisty path of comedy! :lol:

Well, I just lost interest.

Actually, Kramer had taken Christmas pictures for Elaine and a nipple was exposed.
