chapped nipples

I love sucking or licking my wife's nipples but shes complains that it makes them chapped. Then they dry up and split. It's painful. Any suggestions on what to do about this? Yes, I could stop doing it but how can I keep doing it and not have the problem?

When that happens to me I attribute it to winter skin or my cycle. Sometimes it happens as a part of PMS. Maybe thats the real reason? Aks her. If not, maybe give the girls a break every once in awhile ;).

She can use lanolin ointment on her nipples.

If her lips are chapped & cracked, she'd put something on them. The same goes for nipples. There are all kinds of balms & lotions that would be suitable.

Well, you're going to have to stop doing it for awhile, to give them a chance to heal. You can't keep irritating any area and not expect there to be problems.

IF you or she would make sure that they are dried off after your attention, that would help. And moisturizing daily would help prevent the dryness. Any nursing balm, cocoa butter or even vaseline would do that.

Is it possible that she's really asking you to cut back on some of your attention to them for awhile?
