Thanks for the quick response.

under armor should work well. it is specifically designed to help reduce moisture and friction. i would also consider using the vasoline or place tape or band aids over the nipples to reduce friction. if your nipples are currently irritated i would recommend applying an antibiotic ointment and then band aids over them.
