I have seen nipple covers for men (I guess cause women will usually wear a jogbra) in our local jogging store. The store is a chain here in Canada and is called The Running Room, but I'm sure you can find these covers in other sporting goods stores in the States. My husband suffers from the same pro...

That sounds like a neat idea too. Although someone like me who has been shy of the old sewing machine the past few years might go the route of buying an article of UV clothing and then adjusting the shape, etc.

Thanks for the link, Bob!

Thanks, Bizbabe! I'll take a peek at their site. I have some cute pink Ugg look-alikes with pom poms, but I'd be afraid to wreck them on the playa... :cry: Too bad. Anyone ever try a thing called Rit that you wash your clothes in to make them a bit more UV resistant? I have some nice saris that I wa...

Hey, Bob, Well, I have to say I'm stunned at your response in general. Since it was my first post on a forum, I figured it best not to post my life story and all the minute details surrounding previous trips, but to make it fairly concise (and consider any responses against those details myself, not...

You had shoulder surgery too?? It's like we're twins - You're pale, freckled with sun allergy; I'm pale, freckled with sun allergy - now the shoulder. :) Except I'm a girl. And look nothing like you. Hee. I went under the knife twice - once to repair smashed shoulder (thank you, Prince the horse), a...

Gee, thanks Bob. You're so very helpful. Really, you make a girl feel so welcome on the eplaya... Stuart and Dork - a genuine thank you! :D I am seeing my doctor for a referral to a dermatologist tomorrow and have just printed out pages of info from the web to aid my questioning. Hope to see you in ...

Hi, I errantly posted this elsewhere...do forgive me "To Burn or Not To Burn" thread... My problem is that I seem to have developed some kind of "allergy to the sun". My first year was fine, subsequent years have been worse and worse. I get HIVES. I feel shitty. I thought it was the sunscreen since ...

Hi, I didn't have a great time the last time, but I'm sure that was more to do with me than anyone else (see below). I have been noticing the crowd changing over the last few years (I only started going in 2000, for my honeymoon), but I think that's going to happen anyway. The same core of great peo...

Hmmm. This will be my fourth year going, although I am new to this message board thingy. My preferred method, having tried the undies, the shaving, the shorts, the powders...not to mention pants: Wax the kitten to avoid ouchy pulling. Apply anti-perspirant to the thighs. Go commando for the lovely b...
