Forza tri bib wearers, how are your nipples?

I’ve loved wearing my Forza tri suit. Best suit ever.

I bought the tri bibs during the Slowtwitch sale. My new team only offers shorts, not my thing. So the plan is to wear the jersey with the tri bibs.

Question is, how do your nipples do with the bibs? I’ve been a victim of the red stripes of pain running down my shirt. I always wear nip guards or suitable band aids. But it looks to me like the tri bibs would potentially rip those off. And the mesh fabric makes me think that they would work their way right through bodyglide.

Anybody have experience with this?

So far, so good. I’ve worn mine for some reasonably long bricks, for me at least. 2.5-3 hour ride, followed by a 45-60 min run. Always in the heat.

I used some body glide, and no chafing so far.

I’ve raced 70.3 and IM in the same set up with no issues but I do use body glide.

Fairly small compared to most I guess- but no issues and have used them for some very long days

For riding not an issue, for running, OUCH! My nips tend to protrude when my body is cooling and I have to push the straps off to the sides.

As above, BG on the nips. No issues

I’ve worn the tri bibs since 2011 and have never had a problem with raw nipples.
