Instead of expensive Nip Guards, a great way to protect nipples from chafing against shirts wet with sweat or rain is to use 3M medical tape, like Blenderm. You can get 12 5-yard rolls for the price of 20 pairs of Nip Guards and that tape can protect you for over a thousand runs. You just cut a couple of strips before each run and cover your nips with it, then remove them after the run. I do that before most runs and it takes months to get through a single 5-yard roll.
