The nipple problem

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?

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.

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.

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.

Not really.
Just wear your nipple-enhancing jerseys with pride.
