What kind of lip balm do you use?

I use plain old Chapstick, which works, but it would be nice to find something that lasts a little longer. Suggestions :?:

Lip Smackers work great and taste really good, so that's what I use

I use Chicken Poop....No, really!

The label clearly states, "contains no poop." :lol:

I have turned into a lip balm addict :shock: in an attempt to find one which keeps my lips soft etc.

My latest effort is "aloe kote plus" which is made in the US. Its actually for surfers etc but works apparently on cold sores, sunburnt lips and fever blisters also so is very very good.

For any one in the UK i found it in a surf shop (surf nation i think) and it has proved very good so far.

Carmex is my god, and it has been even before braces. Whenever I visit my dad in the US, I bring back tubes and pots of the stuff. It stays on longer than any other lip balm, and because of its slightly waxy texture it doesn't wipe off as easily or dry up. I love it!

I use Blistex Lip Ointment, in the red and white tube. It works wonders! Blistex Lip Ointment @ http://www.blistex.com/Lip%20Ointment.htm
PS. I'm getting braces in early October and this Blistex Lip Ointment will definatly coming with me as I've heard your lips get dry when the braces are applied.

Carmex just came out with a cherry flavor that I'm loving! It does a great job on my lips, and it is a little less bracing than the normal Carmex scent/flavor.

My all time favorite is CO Bigelow's "My Favorite Lip Balm".
I used this before going to bed.

Throughout the day my faves are:
-Beyond Belief lip balm
-Bee Kissed Shea Butter or Banana flavors
-Avalon Organics Un-petroleum Lip Balm Spf
