Wearing my Macom 24/7 makin my nipples dry/flaky/kills!!!

I wear my Macom 24/7 and it’s literally making my nipples hurt so much it’s the only uncomfort and pain I have really they’re becoming dry and flaky now… don’t know whether to just change my bra into a different gym on now instead as they are absolutely killing!! I know it’s because there constantly rubbing on it but I can’t possibly keep it on any longer x

Hey,
Maybe put some tape over your nipples to stop them chaffing like runners do? Can you put cream over them and air them for an hour a day?
If tape doesn’t help maybe swap to another sports bra xx

I mix it up between my macoms and then other sports bras.
I got a few from Asda and then one from m&s and then my two macoms. The one I got from m&s is a dream, so I always look forward to putting that one on ha and I just moisturise my boobs every day avoiding the incisions area x

Thanks guys I’m gonna switch to the two I bought from Asda! My nurse said not too but until my nipples get better then il put my Macom back on! There still supported.. il put the tape over my nipples when I put my Macom back on! I’m gonna moisturise them as well today for the first time ! Thanks girls xx

Try Lansinoh, it’s especially for sore and cracked nipple. I used it while breast feeding. It’s about £12 a tube but lasts for months, you only need a tiny blob and it comes out like thick vase line. It heals within a couple of hours. It’s magic! You can but it from boots. Think the box is white & purple. 100% worth spending that extra bit of money as it’s specific for nips! Good luck x

Hi hun, have you tried to put some cotton pads on your nipples? When have you had them done? My nipples were oversensitive until about 4 WPO x

Also girls on this forum advised to buy vitamin E balm from body shop and i was massaging my boobs with it avoiding incisions. That helped me a lot with spots and dry itching skin after op x

Thank you girls that’s helped a lot , I’m gonna try that lansinoh @275uplift as they are still flaky, dry, and super sore!! ive tried putting socks over my nipples and then putting my macom on lol to prevent the rubbing! and thanks @nica il try the cotton pad thing as well tomorrow and ive heard a lot about the vitamin E cream to il have to purchase it such an expensive process haha xx

I just used nivea on my nipples and around to stop flaking n jjst some pads to stop rubbing

Hi @demimae, it did help me a lot, you can also try palmer’s cocoa butter with vitamin c. Works out a bit cheaper. You can gently massage breasts with it avoiding incisions. Stay strong and good luck hun x

I bought some nipple cream from boots £8 and some breast pads to see if this helps as i have same problem as u.
