I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I'm curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

I use it on my hearing aid moulds, it stops them irritating and creates a better seal.

It's used at festivals - put some under your nose and the portaloos aren't so bad

I use it to prevent chafing when swimming.

When you're stuck like glue

When you need some goo

When you're black and blue

If you'd like to woo

Technically still for my lips but it's super
