lip lubrication
I obsessively apply chapstick. Whenever I feel my lips are losing their lubricated feel and whip out my Burt’s Bees and smear on a big thick coat.

if i dont have my chapstick or some other type of lubrication with me, i get extremely nervous – i have a few vera bradley pouches of lip stuff and i keep one with me at all times.
This talk is getting hot…
I am exactly like this. If I don’t have access to chapstick or lip balm all I can think about are my lips getting drier and drier by the moment. That’s why I have lip balm in every room, purse, car, etc.
I do this too.
Me too!!! I can’t even kiss my b/f until I’ve applied a coat (even though I know it’ll get rubbed off). I also like to have chapstick devoted to my major workstations (1 in purse for transit, 1 on my desk at work, 1 near my computer at home) because my lips must stay constantly lubricated to maintain that perfectly moist, refreshing, smooth feel.
Yup, me too. I carry a mini tin of Zambuk in my pocket all the time. It’s also great for putting on the temples when you have a headache.
I probably apply chapstick 30+ times a day. My favorite is Caramex
I do this also! I feel like I’m going to have a panic attack if my lips are dry! I always make sure I have my burts bee’s on me, also
carmex is the best
Blistex in the green tube is the only kind I can use. My husband uses peppermint chapstick and then when I kiss him my lips feel tingly and I get all freaked out. And I can only have one tube going at a time, and I keep it in my pocket all day and on my nightstand right next to the bed at night just in case I wake up and need to apply more.
Teri–OMG! Blistex in the green tube is the ONLY one I like. Burt’s Bees is good but not moist enough and carmex tastes bad (ie: if my b/f kissed me or I’m eating food). I’ve tried way too many kinds and I can only buy the green tube and stock up with extras in case I run out and the store I go to doesn’t have it.
Omg u ppl are retarded. Making a debate out of everything. Life is complicated but if ur biggest problem is “lip lubrication” u have big issues. Advice: use the tongue to lubrify stuff, it’s all natural.
But licking your lips makes them really sore if over-done!
Licking your lips makes them even MORE dry. Any person with dry lips would know this, aka, EVERYONE. Google, kids, it’s your friend
My neuroses only comes out at night! I don’t need the stuff at all during the day, but can’t dream of going to bed without it on unless extremely drunk. Have been reduced to putting cooking oil on in desperation, when staying at friends houses having forgotten it, just to try be able to nod off with that lubricated feel!
Dear putza,
I understand where you’re coming from but you have to realize that where actual survival is concerned, a lot of these neuroses would be given up. This site was created to fill a niche for individuals that can relate to rarer or more wide-ranging habitual behaviors. Keep in mind that we’re posting these because we recognize, for the most part, that these conflict with cultural standards. At least for me, I get a kick out of seeing others who have ones similar to mine or finding other complex ones people held close until an avenue of anonymity represented itself.
Lip lubrication isn’t even close to the biggest ‘problem’ in my life but humans have this tendency to CONSTANTLY think about anything and everything, so we’re bound to come across areas that we obsess over or specific preferences each of us has when going through life. None of this can be attributed to standards of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.
<3 Ciao!
My name is Gregory and I am a chapstick addict. It has been 4 days since my last application and my lips are very sore. I think this is a physiological withdrawal from chemicals in the product and I am determined to kick the habit.
I even apply chapstick during sex. I have to put a tube under my pillow and constantly reapply it every so often. it annoys the heck out of my boyfriend.
i am obsessed with lip salve! i have to use c.o. bigelow rose salve. i keep a pot in my purse, in my pocket at work, next to my bed, and one on the table next to the tv. if i don’t have it, my palms get clammy and i can’t concentrate on anything else except how dry my lips are.
I’ve tried several kinds and I’m in love with Nivea kiss of moisture now. I keep it on me at all times. Especially at work because I tend to get really nervous (go figure) and lick my lips a lot. I’ve forgotten my tube before and ended up with really sore lips by the end of the day. The chapstick obsession is quite popular if you do research.
