LET'S GET TO THE POINT

So, there have been more changes.  The most prolific has to do with my nipples.
(Laugh.  You know you want to.)

Lately, they have turned into monstrous, rigid sentinels that bring forth pain.  For you, dear readers, I journeyed for answers so that not another one of us would stand helpless at the top of a staircase and tearfully wish there was an elevator available.

Let me explain the issue:  More turbidity = More friction.

Here are some of cures I discovered:

1.  Most maternity shops sell little plastic hats for your nipples.  These "nipple shields" are designed to protect you between feedings.  To me, they looked like little plastic Dog Igloos.  No thank you.

2.  One of my close friends suggested lubricating lotion and nursing pads.  This is a more acceptable plan of action.  But, it leaves me thinking:  "Aren't I going to be using enough nursing pads in the future?  Should I really have to sport them NOW??  Aren't these going to make me even BIGGER?"

3.  Duct Tape and gauze.  Seriously.  Don't forget the gauze.

4.  Pasties.  They come in assorted colors, sizes and shapes!  As your quarters grow to the size of a personal pan pizza, you will be happy for the assortment.

At this time, I am opting for super soft fabric tucked discreetly inside my bra cup.  No fuss, no muss.
(Flannel or super soft fleece seems to work best because it clings to the bra fabric.)

You're welcome.
