Are you a chapstick addict? Where do you have them stashed? I always have two to three in my purse, one next to my bed, one in my desk at work, one in my desk at home, one on my dresser and two in my car. lol don't want to run out!

I never use chapstick. Will you please share me why you are a chapstick addict. Why do you use chapsick? I have used it before Like after skiing. Cant seem to understand why people use it on a daily basis? Maybe its becase I am male! Just interested thats all. :)

Gender doesn't make a difference. It is the feeling that they are dry.... ALL of the time.

When my lips dry out and its not from to much sun wind or cold I always know its because I am dehydrated. I personally believe its cheaper and healthier to drink more water and eat more fruits and vegitables. Also eating oats helps rehydrate. Happy health. :)

Not that you care but from what I read Oils break down leathers so if these chapsticks have any kind of oils they are actually unproductive and help insure that you have to buy more making the producers happy and rich. Another thing is its best not to lick your lips cause the saliva from your mouth just helps to dry them out. Hope you get those soft wet lips everyone enjoys. LOL :)

I don't use chapstick or anything else on my lips. If I really feel I need to put a moisturizer on my lips, I just use a thin coat of vasoline.

Wow! You are a chapstick addict! I don't even own one! I do use lipstick though and I suppose that is enough for me. Once in a while in the winter I use carmex.....but it's been years since I used chapstick!

i am a carmex addict, i have to put it on all day long i wipe off then i put back on. and as much as i love my carmex i lose it all the time and i just go right back to the store and buy some more. one day i was doing a spring cleaning and found like 4 tubes of carmex hidden in different rooms of my apartment. and they were all still full.

I don't use chapstick at all. I don't like the fact that some of it has a laour, and I just don't like the texture of it on my lips. I also don't really need it, as I don't have a problm with my lips getting chapped.

I only carry chapstick in the winter time. My lips will get so chapped in the winter time that they will hurt and start to bleed so I have to keep them as moist as I can.

Not Chapstick, but other lip balms. Chapstick is like rubbing a candle over your lips. I always have a tube of something around.

I used to be dangerously addicted to carmex. My boyfriend HATES the taste of it. So for the sake of being kissed, I switched to cherry chap stick. I have other flavored lip balms that he likes, but they don't moisturize my lips!

I used to be one and had them all over. But one day it dawned on me that my lips were no longer making their OWN fluids and it was not good. Plus, I was wasting money because I only bought the flavours I liked and was then scraping it off with my teeth and eating it anyway? It did not seem healthy or good for my lips or budget. It was hard for a while. But I did MAKE my self stop getting it and now my lips, after a dry period, make thier own moisture aagin and I am not eating the stuff off my own lips. No addiction is good. Juts don't buy more. You will thank yourself later, after your lips start doing their OWn kon again and you don't have to keep buying the stuff anymore and stashing it around.

Good for you and maybe I will someday soon. but first I should quit smoking and drinking! Sometimes I do stop myself though. I realize I do it more out of habit. I catch myself wanting to put it on just as I am getting the shower! lmao, like that is necessary?
