I have been suffering from really sore nipples, too.
I am on a rigorous breast pumping regime, using electric pumps several times daily.
After each pump, my nipples are gorgeous, about 1" long and 1/2" wide. But when I slip my pumped boobs back inside my bra, the cups flatten them and rub them sore (they are already a bit sore after being sucked out!).
I can't go without a brassiere any more, I am just too floppy, my nipples feel heavy and in any case, I am rather "pointy" in just a summer top!
So I am trying nipple shields, which are soft silicone teats. I slip them over my nipples in my bra after pumping and I seem to get no chafe, good shape retention and just a nice little bit of nipple bump when wearing a tee shirt bra.
