plz help with any tips on soothing agonisingly sore nipples

Hey ladies. I know sore nipples is one of the down falls of a BA but im 3 weeks on Wednesday and can not bare this agony much longer!! Pain is an understatement! ! Plz plz plz if anyone has any good tips for the pain and soothing them then i would be massively grateful xx

Hi Victoria I had this about 3 weeks post op. I’d say the sore nipples were the most pain of the entire op. Literally didn’t want to move off the sofa cuz the friction was so bad. I bought.nursing nipple pads lol and put vaseline on, tucked them in my sportsbra to relieve pain and make my.nips less sore for a few days. Then I wore a soft bra/crop top under my sportsbra for the rest of the 6 weeks. It added extra support n made sure there was no chafing under my bra as it was super snug on them. Hope this helps, I feel your.pain! xx

Hi Victoria,

you can get those gel “modesty” patches for nipples as well that are apparently good for nipples after a BA. Primark used to do a pack with things like boob tape in it that included the gel patches. If they don’t still do them you can probably order off Amazon. Hope it gets better soon for you. xzx

Thanks hun I will literally try anything at the moment!! I have large nipples so this is agony 🙁 going to buy some cool gel that women breast feeding use as thats the best way that I can explain the pain as. Will be glad when this parts over as like u finding it the hardest part!! Thanks again hun xx

Thank u han. Think ill have a look on amazon and ebay RIGHT THIS SECOND HAHA xx

Id suggest Lanisoh i used to use that when i breast fed, and you can get breast pads from tescos that normally are used for stopping leakages of breast milk but theyre soft cotton wool type material so they might stop the friction and feel more comfortable. Xx

Oh my god Victoria I know what you mean arghh I’m 11 days PO and it is defo the worst thing about Ba, I know everyone is different but I can honestly say I have experienced very minimal pain, I feel great it’s just the nipple thing haha but especially in a morning it’s awful, worse than when I breast fed that’s for sure lol. I too have large nipples so I can sympathise here haha it’s awful isn’t it, I couldn’t move my right arm the other morning because it was just making my right nipple in absolute agony. I hope they are not always this sensitive lol. X x

Sore nipples are a good sign that you are healing, putting abut of padding around your nipples under your compression bra really helps and also soft gentle massages in circle motions really does help to
Happy healing x

thanks girls. ive been wearing a soft sports bra under my good one and its been helping a lot. hopfully im towards the end of the dreaded nipple pain xx
