Bra Line Anti-Chafe Patch for Runners
Protect your bra line from painful chafing during long runs, workouts, and race days.
Enjoy every mile with less rubbing, irritation, and post-run shower sting. This thin hydrogel patch creates a cooling, flexible barrier between your skin and sports bra band, helping protect your bra line during long, sweaty efforts.
Apply it before everyday training, trail runs, or race day. It stays comfortable while you move, and optional double-sided tape provides extra hold against clothing when the sweat really starts flowing.

FAQs
How long does one patch last on the run?
Each patch is designed for a single workout or race. It stays comfortably in place throughout your run and is intended to be removed afterward. Users have confirmed it lasted during marathon runs and long trail runs (4+hours).
Does it stay stuck when I'm completely drenched in sweat?
Yes! The patch was tested by runners during long, sweaty runs and race training. While everyone's skin and conditions are different, it's designed to stay in place between your bra and skin. The double side tape adds extra adhesion to your bra for extra sweaty days.
What's it made of, and what's the adhesive?
The patch is made from a soft hydrogel material with a gentle, skin-safe adhesive that's similar to what's commonly used in eye patches and nursing pads. It's designed to be comfortable against the skin while providing a protective barrier where your sports bra rubs.
Does it leave residue on my skin or damage technical fabric?
The patch is designed to remove cleanly without leaving sticky residue on your skin. Because it adheres directly to your skin—not your clothing—it shouldn't come into contact with or damage technical fabrics.
What size is the patch, and is it one-size?
The current patch is approximately 6.5 x 2 inches and is designed to fit the area where most sports bra bands cause chafing. It's one size for now, though we're already exploring additional sizes and shapes based on customer feedback.
Why this over Body Glide or KT Tape, which I already trust?
Body Glide helps reduce friction but can wear off over time, especially during long or rainy runs. KT tape wasn't designed specifically for bra-line chafing and can be difficult to apply or uncomfortable to remove. Our patch was created specifically for the bra line—it provides a physical barrier between your skin and your sports bra, stays comfortably in place, and doesn't leave you feeling greasy. It also gives a soothing and cooling feeling.

Our Story
Finding Joy in The Hard Miles
While working at my dream job at Google, I hit burnout. I felt like I was going through the motions without really growing, so I turned to running. At first, even a single block felt impossible, but I kept going. Mile by mile, running became more than exercise—it became a way for me to cope with stress, work through grief and self-doubt, and keep moving forward.
That experience inspired Pen and Paces. I wanted to create something that supports the running journey while adding a little more joy to the hard parts. Our mission is simple: to bring joy to the pursuit of difficult goals and encourage people to keep going, whether they’re taking their first steps or have been running for years.
