We consider p-branes with one or more circular directions fibered over the transverse space. The fibration, in conjunction with the transverse space having a blown-up cycle, enables these p-brane solutions to be completely regular. Some such circularly wrapped D3-brane solutions describe flows from SU(N)3 N=2 theory, \mathbbF0 theory, as well as an infinite family of superconformal quiver gauge theories, down to three-dimensional field theories. We discuss the operators that are turned on away from the UV fixed points. Similarly, there are wrapped M2-brane solutions which describe smooth flows from known three-dimensional supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theories, such as Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena theory. We also consider p-brane solutions on gravitational instantons, and discuss various ways in which U-duality can be applied to yield other nonsingular solutions.
