My dermatologist has me use vasaline on my biopsy wounds. She says it is better to heal from inside out , rather then scab over and have a scar. I actually think it is too time consuming and messy, especially if it is a hard to reach site. Hence, i have scars

In THE GOLDEN YEARS, this stuff was the #1 go to for lubing your enema nozzle, unfortunately if you did not clean it really well, it eventually made it on to your rubber goodies and damaged the rubber. So now it is all water soluble stuff.

I only use waterproof mascara and every night I remove it with a tiny dab of vaseline. It removes the mascara effortlessly. Its part of my nightly face cleansing routine. I have been doing this for over 35 years. 😃

Chapped lips,and anal sex.

Alright, gang, you didn't hear it from me because I never had a slice or hook but I am told that if you put vaseline on you club faces it will help reduce your slice or hook. LOL!

Here is a use that folks might not consider. I do lots of camping and Vaseline is great fire starter! Soooo, if you're planning to get your campfire a-roaring or looking to slide something into a bodily orifice, then Vaseline will do the trick!

I have not purchased a jar of Vaseline in eons, but you all inspire me with potential uses. I may just need to purchase a jar one of these days.

I use it on my lips occasionally, but I have a separate container that isn’t used for any ass stuff. It’s a little tiny jar of lip Vaseline and I think it’s adorable.

Mix together with an oil to wipe over tools (not the dick variety😁) to retard moisture & protect against rust.

Place on elec motor shafts prior to fitting pulley wheels

Place on the wheel shafts of a trolley to prevent dragging or seizure

Smear a fine coat inside a metal housing to allow an easy fitting of a new bearing

Smear over a mild skin burn so skin remains supple & aids return to normal condition

Vaseline intensive care rubbed over a woman's tummy to drastically reduce skin degredation in pregnancy

I can think of at least two other things I have used Vaseline for. First, to line the inside of my nostrils when I am suffering from hay fever. Second, to treat my sore and overworked anus while I was in the midst of colonoscopy prep.

You can start a fire with Vaseline by coating a cotton ball (or a few) with Vaseline and light them up to produce a flame - then add to your grill, fire pit, etc.

Rub it around the lips of a jar before screwing the lid on to ease opening the jar.

Smear it on car battery terminals to reduce corrosion.

My husband rubbed Vaseline on the door hinge pins in our master bathroom when they squeaked. Amazing. No dripping on the floor with WD-40 that he used before.

Use it as a seal, around the base of my cellar door to keep bugs from sneaking under and into my cellar. Also around cellar faucet chrome to keep it from pitting, etc. Also around turnoff/shutoff valve stems to keep from corroding.

I use carbolated vaseline (Watson's Petro Carbo Salve, phenol + vaseline + eucalyptol, ++) as a poultice for infected cuts. Works. Decent drawing salve…
