Ronhill Nip Guards - AW22

I was very sceptical that these “nip guards” would work as well as the blurb seems to suggest. However seeing plenty of good reviews and being tired of sore nipples decided to give it a go. I am one of nature’s sweaters, you could put me in the Arctic and I would be soaking wet after a 2 minute stroll. I therefore struggle when training for long runs (thankfully I have never hit the point where blood is running down my front). I’ve tried lots of stuff to stop it but all of them failed. Step in Ron Hill Nip Guards, I have just been out for an 18k run in 19/20 degree heat and they worked brilliantly. Absolutely no chafing whatsoever. Whatever they make the glue out of is incredible, the guards did not move at all. However on getting home, it wasn’t agony pulling them off. The only downside with these is they are a one time only use product so could end up expensive if you have to use them very regularly. They are also probably not very good for the environment for the same reason. In all though I have to say I am very impressed and they will definitely be part of my kit for any long run. I know Amazon recommend uploading a photo for reviews, but I don’t think any of you need to have that inflicted on you.

I only ever tend to use these for half marathons and above but every time I’ve used them they’ve worked a treat. They stick on fine and I actually find them hard to get off (without hurting at least!).

Having trained over consistently longer distances, I found that as my clothes became heavier and clingy with perspiration, the abrasion on the nipple area could actually cause bleeding. I was therefore delighted to find these products for sale and am happy to say that thus far this product has really helped. I am out for up to three hours and am pleased to say that they stick well to the skin for the entire duration and do not cause any pain when they are removed. My only criticism would be that one or two of them seem to have had insufficient adhesive applied and have fallen off instantly but at least I discovered this before I left the house. Strongly recommend this item.

I do quite a bit of running. When training over a longer distance I can get chafed (especially in the rain). These are a good product and at least I don't have to pay any more than in sports shops ... and in terms of petrol / parking in a large town I am actually saving money!

The products work very well for the intended purpose but for the price, the packaging they come in is pathetic. It is not possible to travel with the original container because it is so cheap and flimsy.

I was training for a marathon and was suffering from chaffed nipples. Unfortunately this item just did not stay in place. After 40 mins or so of running and sweating, the item just started to peel away and then comes off. The chaffing is a very big issue for me so I was very thorough placing the guards on, I did not want them coming off during my long run. Three tries and three failures. Hugely disappointed considering the only purpose of this product is to 'stay on'. In that task it failed! They are also quite expensive, for me it has been a waste of money.

Been using these for over a year now. 1 x marathon and 3 x halves later they are now staple part of my distance running kit. Before using these i used to get horrendous chafe and nothing would help. Plasters fell off, gels and lubs don't cut it on anything more than about 10km (I probably sweat more than average). These lasted a full marathon without budging and stop the ol' nip bleed. If you suffer, but them and thank me later.

This is the best buy I have made. Used it for my long runs and had no issues. Doesn’t fall off and taking it off after the run is easy as well. Recommend every runner to use this.
