Addicted to Chapstick

“Is anyone else addicted to chapstick?

Is there a better product out there?”

“Looks like this guy's got a chapstick in his pocket.
”

“Try blistex, the medicated stuff can be really addicting too.”

“Can't remember the brand.. but the davis-kidd places sell it.. its beeswax.. just like chapstick.. awesome stuff.”

“anything is better than chapstick.

it is the 'crack' of lipbalms.”

“Burt's Bees weather guard lip balm. Carmax, Blistex. Chapstick is too waxy and hard.”

“"Burt's Bees weather guard lip balm"

That's it!!.. hehe.. could not remember the name of it.”

“"Too waxy and hard......" hehehhee...... Is that really a problem in the life of a woman??!?!? LOL!!”

“I just don't like it waxy; much prefer it slick. ;)”

“y'all are so bad.

*blush*”

“No, we're VERY VERY good.”

“mMmMmmmm.. :)

really now.”

“OH yes, *VERY* GOOD!”

“hehe... and you were hiking with me where?”

“Hyper and I will be at Zieleski next weekend, come along!”

“I'll be bringing my Burt's Bees.”

“I wish.. geez.. I don't even know where that is..

I tend to hike TN/KY/NC/GA/VA.

Will you let me smear some 'chapstick' on you?

*ducks*”

“Biz, I use lip balm about 10 times a day. I use a few different kinds, but my favorite by far is Labello. Labello (say it soft and its almost like praying), product of Germany, pure heaven. It takes about 3 uses to break in a stick but after that it is fantastic. They have the original, one with a slight pink cast, one with menthol, and several different sunscreen variations. Last time I was in europe I bought about 12 sticks back with me. If you are seriously interested, I might have an unopened one that I could ship to you.

I do sound like a drug dealer, don't I. First I push the chocolate, then lip-lube, next I'll move on to the hard stuff (spicy mustard).”

“Zieleski: Web Page Matches (1 - 3 of 3)

None of them look like anything you can hike.”

“SwissMiss: I want, I want! *gives you that puppy dog look*”

“Southern Ohio. I don't like chapstick and you can't smear anything else either. :)”

“TownDawg - see "Ohio Folks" thread.

I used to be addicted to Carmex. Somehow, I weened myself. Now I usually use anything w/ sunscreen.”

“Joy: LMAO!.. (when did you move from michigan? Wasn't the the girl with the molson email addy?)”

“tarabull: Thanks!.. a new place on me.. just scanned thru the thread.. you guys make sure you post some pics of the trip, k?”

“Just when I'm hiking and then it is an orange scented stuff I like. I don't know the brand but I sell it up by the cash register in my store. I also like a third of a stick of chewing gum--between lip goo and the gum I can go straight uphill without dry mouth.”

“TD: "Wasn't the the girl with the molson email addy?)"

Note to self, you might try speaking in English.

I meant, weren't you the girl with the molson email addy?”

“I consider chapstick essential gear...

ever try to go on an extended bping trip without it? OW!”

“(said somewhat tongue-in-cheek) I always carry it with me.. if nothing else so I can look cool, putting it on with my sunglasses.”

“Southern Ohio is where Zieleski is! I do live in MI. Sunshine has the Molsen addy, she's in the UP.”

“kewl beans. I will have to plan it for next spring sometime.”

“Blistex has a nice herbal version in pale, sorta sage green. Max dog seemed to enjoy the stick of it he got his teeth into. My old standby in winter is the squeeze tube version of Carmex.”

“Blistex is great... the squeeze stuff is good in winter so long as you keep it warm...
Chapstick? I dunno... s'pose you could use it to stop the whole nipple chafing thing... but the the Moleskin pasties wouldn't stick... oh me, oh my! Decisions....”

“Medic girl, could you do a demonstration talk at the next Canoecopia seminars? Many north country trippers I know would like to keep abreast of these ideas.”

“pekka: I was trying so hard not to comment on medic girl's post.. but since you broke the ice..

medic girl: nipple chafing?.. no not good.. don't need to have tender nipples..

(makes anything else that might happen in camp later way too intense.)”

“ROFL @ you guys!!! Pekka.... when's this canoecopia thing happening? I'd love to help out if I could... travel plans might be a little tough tho' ;->
Towndawg..."(makes anything else that might happen in camp later way too intense.)?" Pshaw! :-9 Who ever said a little bit o' pain was a bad thing?”

“Canoecopia is the largest of the spring canoe/paddling gear shows. Hosted by Madison's Rutabaga paddlesports shop in Wisconsin's capital, it usually offers a slate of seminars and travel talks by paddlers and outdoors persons of various skills and expertise and experience. You could make quite an impression.”

“medic girl: hehe, let me try to remember where i got all that BDSM stuff hidden from my wife.”

“I feel I have to contribute to this thread for obvious reasons. I use lipstick on the trail. It has moisturizers in it to keep the lips kissable, some lipsticks have sun protection in it, and it looks pretty :{}

Since it doesn't look cool to be applying lipstick on the trail like chapstick does, I use that lipstick that stays on all day.”

“Personally I like Chapstik better than anything else, partly because it is waxy. It melts with body heat quickly anyway.

I don't see why an addiction to Chapstik would be a problem, unless you are eating it.”

“I was trying to think of the phrase that Nicolas Cage uses in the movie 'family man'.. when he jumps in the minivan, heads to NYC and finds his 'pre-glimpse' apartment.

"trading light/witty pseudo-sexual banter" ?? is that the phrase?”

“lol wsexson, seriously, I just spit my pasta out!”

“Carmex works, but I carry chapstick on the trail to impress the girls.”

“You know, it is truly just rude when you visit someone's house and their dog not only manages to dig out all your..... uhhhhh...... "feminine stuff"......... But then the b@stard also eats your tube of Chapstick!!! Well.... at least I had two more along. hehehee ;-)











Addict!!”

“I wouldn't mind 'doggin' lizs' feminine stuff.

If ya know what I mean and I think you do.”

“Bacpac, you want to eat Lizs feminine hygiene products??? you are one sick SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Shame, shame bacpac! Tsk,tsk! You don't even LIKE dogs!!

LOL!! Hyper said "feminine hygiene".......”

“Lemme spell it out for you hyper.

P-U ... Oh never mind.”

“Carmex, chapstick, blistex, or 40 block sunscreen. What ever is handy.
LOL, but have not seen medic girls application used yet. I will ask around on the next trip. Check for replies and get back to you.”

“I got some Blistex that tingles my lips. 8)”
