| Dear Nipguards: As both an avid runner and a member of the Pierced Nation, I must admit I had my doubts about your product. Normally I take my 4-inch hoop off my left nipple before running, but with the Nipguard in place I can get my exercise and show off my jewelry at the same time! And my bleeding has subsided to pre-pierced levels. Thanks, Nipguards! Sincerely, Norman Gardino Louisvile, Ky. | |

| Dear NipGuards,
I'd really like to thank you for saving my nipples. Before I discovered
NipGuards, my nipples would often become erect and chafe against the jersey
I wore for basketball. However, with NipGuards in place, I can play without
fear of bleeding, cracking, scarring, or other painful side effects of my
nipples. I showed my nipples to all of my teammates and they couldn't
believe it! They all ordered some too. So thanks, NipGuards, from myself, my
team, and most of all my nipples Zach Stone Kentucky | |

| I got my order on Friday, February 3. It was in time for the race [Los Angeles Marathon] and they worked great. With 2 inches of rain, they were about the only thing that worked great. | |
| Matt Thuma | Disney Marathon |
| Thank you NipGuards,
I'm 34 and I started racing a couple of years ago. I like the challenge of a long distance race but I hate finishing only to find my nipples sore or even bleeding. I ran six marathons prior to seeing your product, using Band-aids that didn't stay and lubricants that didn't work, only to end up in pain. I tried your product at the Chicago Marathon and I could not have been happier. Your product works as well, if not better, than you claim. I put them to the test at the 2000 Disney Marathon with the same great results. I only wish I would have known about them when I did my first Iron Man distance triathlon. Please rush my next order, I have my first Ultra-marathon coming up and I don't know if I could tolerate it unprotected. Sincerely, Matt Thuma | |

| Received the product last week. Took them for an 8 mile spin of Tuesday and 20 miles yesterday. I just stuck the guard right down over the pierced nipple, jewelry and all and it held on perfectly. No irritation, no bleeding, no soreness and they came off easily when I was finished. At first I though it looked a little stupid, but after I saw how they performed, I didn't care! Thanks again, Kevin Carson | |
| Pat Rock | Country Music Marathon |
| Yea Baby… Nip Guards??????????????/$10 for a pack of how many? Sounds very expensive.......However, It was worth the risk to see if they worked at the Country Music Run. Yaba Daba, I totally forgot about my once very soar nips until I arrived home that afternoon to take a shower. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more bloody shirts and long recovery times. Pat Rock | |

| Finally, my nipples are no longer tipped with "perma-scab". NipGuards are
the simplest, non-messiest, most sure way to protect men who run long
distances from nipple abrasion. They have moved into the are of my bag that
contains essential equipment - those items I never take out of the bag. I have worn NipGuards in my last two marathons and run hundreds of miles while wearing them. During a long run in the hot Texas weather, I will sweat so much that my shoes "squish" and I leave a little wet trail wherever I have been. I've never lost a NipGuard and never experienced any discomfort while wearing them. Thanks for making a superior product that performs exactly as expected. Charlie Lambeth | |
| Herb Menan | Los Angeles Marathon |
| My name is Herb Menan and I am a native of Los Angeles. I run 6 miles a day. I have been an avid nip guard user ever since I saw your advertisement in Runner's World. Before I discovered this glorious product, I suffered from severe nipple abrasion and the anxiety of the embarrassment that comes along with bloody nipples! You have boosted my self esteem and given me an extra nip of self confidence that I need to succeed. Thanx nip guards! | |

| My name is Justin Wagner. I'm an avid runner and until recently I have suffered from nipple abrasion. At long last I have found a product that keeps my "Guys" happy! Thanks NipGuards! | |

| Cleveland, Ohio | |
| I am a marathon runner in Cleveland who trains throughout the winter for spring races. Normally, the cold air, wet clothes, and long, abrasive miles combine to make my nipples sore -- often to the point of bleeding! Well, I have been using NipGuards since late last fall, and I have to say that this is one product that really does what it promises. I wear the easy-to-apply guards, go for a long run, and forget about it! No chafing, no soreness, and no blood! This is a wonderful product, and I am happy to place an order for another supply tonght! | |

| Sharon, Vermont | |
| My name is Elliot Quinton and I'm from Sharon, Vermont. Let me tell you about that miracle product you've got going on there. I used them in a recent race, The Chicago Marathon, and boy were they a life saver! They were so comfortable that I almost forgot to take them off that night. Inculded is a photo of me modeling my favorite new product. My wife loves it now that my nipples don't bleed and crust over after every marathon. Thank you for this incredible innovation! | |
| N. Sukumar | Chicago Marathon |
| Hi there, Just completed the Chicago marathon on Sunday, and I had a great run. I picked up the sample pack [2] of nipguards at the Expo, more out of curiosity [cool concept I thought:)] than the fact that it might really work. On race day, I kept couple of band-aids in my pocket just in case I might need them. I used the nipguards in the marathon, and just about forgot they were even there. I returned home at around 4pm on race day and suddenly thought about them. Lo and behold, they were still in place with no signs of any abrasions whatsoever. This stuff sure works and is a whole lot better than trying any combination of vaseline, body glide, and band-aid. You definitely have my support on the efficacy of this product! | |
| Doug Hildebrandt | Chicago Marathon |
| Dear Sir or Ma'am:
I just returned from competing in the Chicago Marathon. While attending the Expo on Friday I had the opportunity to speak with your representative about your product. My friend and I both purchased a pair to give them a try,
although I was not planning to use them on Sunday. I was reluctant to give them a try on race day, as it is never
a good idea to try anything new in a race that you have
not tested during a long training run. Additionally, I was not sure they would say on with the amount of hair I
have on my chest. When Sunday morning came I decided to go ahead and give them a try. Just in case they failed, I
placed a small tube of vaseline in the coin pocket of my running shorts. Needless to say I never needed the
vaseline. Early in the race I kept checking them, as I
could not feel them attached to my chest. After the race I found them to still be securely in place, but easy to remove. I have just purchased two boxes of them and plan to use them on all of my long training runs as well as future marathons. Your product performs as advertised and I will never run a race without them again. | |

| Chicago, Illinois | |
| I used your product for the first time at the Chicago Marathon and was amazed at how well it worked. | |
| Steve | Chicago Marathon |
| Scottsdale, Arizona | At end of race |
| So no more chafing... Worked out great. They're [nipples] not in that bad of shape or as tender as before. | |
| Douglas Cohen | Chicago Marathon |
| Chicago, Illinois | At end of race |
| Solved a serious problem that guys won't have anymore. | |
| Dan Callistein | Chicago Marathon |
| Chicago, Illinois | At end of race |
| Basically amazed. Was tired of long runs with blood and then it takes weeks to heal. Thought I would give 'em a try and they worked great. | |
| Mark Hilliard | Detroit Marathon |
| Thank You for a great product. I used them at the Detroit Free Press Marathon. The weather was cold and windy which usually causes me the most problems. But your product worked great, stayed in place the whole way, and were very comfortable. I didn't even know they were there. And removed them without any problems. Great product. Keep up the good work. | |
| Jim Jacko | 1/2 Iron Man Triathlons |
| Cleveland, Ohio | |
| I have successfully used NipGuards in two separate triathlons - both 1/2 Iron Man distances. Both times the NipGuards made it through the entire race and were still on when I finished the run. | |
| Don Sweeney | Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon |
| Loxley, Alabama | |
| I was a tough sale on the lack of visable protrusion of the guards through the singlet, but after using them while running the Flying Pig it wouldn't make any difference if they did, which they don't. I appreciate your allowing me to use a pair for this marathon because they worked very well. You may not remember me, but you talked me into using them during the expo for the Flying Pig and only asked that I write back my comments about their effectiveness after the race. Please add these lines to the many testimonials you already have printed. Thanks again and I'll be sending you the dollar they are surely worth. | |
| Bill Carey | Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon |
| Powell, Ohio | |
| You've got the absolute best product ever. It's the best thing I've ever worn. It really makes the difference between a good race and a great race! My nipples have been chaffed for 5 years! | |
| Jeff Hirsch | Cincinnati Flying Pig arathon |
| Cincinnati, Ohio | |
| I've had problems in the past. NipGuards do the job 'cause I just ran a marathon and didn't even think about it - and that's exactly what I wanted. | |
| Steve Southwood | Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon |
| Cincinnati, Ohio | |
| Didn't think it would work. Band-Aids always ended up aroung my navel. It turns out my nipples are the only part of my body that doesn't hurt! | |
| Chris Fehring | Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon |
| Cincinnati, Ohio | |
| It was no problem - didn't even rub. Didn't bother me at all. | |
| Matt Fyffe | Cleveland Marathon |
| Cleveland, Ohio | |
| I just wanted to let you know you have provided a great solution to a problem that has plagued me during training and races. I wore them for the first time at the Cleveland Marathon last weekend, and they really made a difference. I was skeptical, but am a believer now. You can count on me to spread the word. | |
| A.J. | Cleveland Marathon |
| Cleveland, Ohio | |
| Like many others, I too suffered for years from the heartbreak of nipple abrasion. But, nevermore. NipGuards work as exactly as claimed, plain and simple. | |
| Dennis Bloomfield | Boston Marathon |
| Brentwood, Tennessee | |
| Kind of hesitant at first. Went ahead and put them on and figured I'd use them. I didn't even know they were on. Felt great and just forgot they were there. Came off as easy as they went on. Simple application - no mess or anything. I wish I had invented them. | |
| Ray Kirchner | Boston & Cleveland Marathons |
| Mentor, Ohio | |
| Had a lot of discomfort on account of nipple bleeding in Boston in 1998. I purchased a NipGuards sample this year in Boston and ran free of discomfort and didn't even notice I had them on. I bought more at the expo at the Cleveland Marathon a few weeks later. | |
| Jason Saitta | Boston Marathon |
| Denver, Colorado | |
| Hey guys. I thought I'd tell you again what a great product you have here. I used them again in this years Boston Marathon and was very happy with them, even in the hot conditions. They are not just for people who have hairy chests, Band-Aids hurt regardless when you take them off. These do not! | |
| Eric Meyers | Boston Marathon |
| Richmond, VA | |
| These worked great. Usually finish every marathon bleeding. | |
| Josh Metzl | Boston Marathon |
| Kansas City, MO | |
| Right on. Band-Aids always rip my hair off. | |
| Tom C. | LaSalle Banks Chicago Marathon |
| Dallas, TX | |
| I ran with my team's singlet which I'd never worn prior to the marathon and the NipGuards made it painless. No abrasive rubbing, no irritation after the race and I didn't have to worry while I ran. Finally there's an answer when apparel causes these problems for long distance athletes. | |
| Steve Hancock | Las Vegas Marathon |
| Bozrah, CT | |
| Would recommend to anyone. Very comfortable and held on well - even in the headwind. | |
| Ken Wimberly | Las Vegas Marathon |
| New London, CT | |
| You've got to be careful when pulling the singlet on, but other than that no problem. Great comfort -- Didn't even know they were there. | |
