If you’re in a dry climate, it’s useful to coat the inside of your nose with vaseline to keep it from drying out.
Not sure if it qualifies for being a “good” use of Vaseline, but you can make emergency candles with it.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Favourite perfume is too expensive for everyday use? Spray a few pumps into a 150ml of vaseline, mix thoroughly, check if the smell is strong enough, add a few pumps if necessary.
Your perfume now lasts a LOT longer.
Apply the vaseline mixture to the usual spots (wrists, neck etc…)
Oooor, don’t use perfume. It’s suffocating to some of us.
I don’t but for those who do, this trick saves some bucks.
I don’t like being in the same room where people use hairspray, spray deodorants and such. I have to cough immediately.
When using perfume with vaseline the scent is lingering longer but is not as aggressive.
That’s a good point. It would be more controlled.
I use it before a long run to prevent chaffing. Its not glamorous, but it works great.
- Holding mechanical parts together during assembly, for example some parts in automatic transmissions. It dissolves in the transmission fluid and doesn’t impair it’s performance or clog anything like greases could.
- Packing a replacement oil-pump with it to effectively pre-prime it so it pumps oil as soon as you start the engine it’s attached to.
makes stainless steel extra shiny. we used to coat machines in it when we went to fairs to show them off.
It works!!
I know a girl who thinks it goes. she’ll make you breakfast. she’ll make you toast. but she don’t use butter, and she don’t use cheese. she don’t use jelly or any of these
she uses vaseline
wtf…
are you certain she wasn’t trying to kill an abuser?
Fun fact, the inventor of Vaseline recommended eating it, and ate it every day.
Chesebrough lived to be 96 years old and was such a believer in Vaseline that he claimed to have eaten “more than a teaspoon” of it every day.[6][7]

It’s a song.
from where? the section on how to murder a cheating bastard the stupid way?
It’s I believe “she don’t use jelly” by the flaming lips. But also Vaseline isn’t that toxic to eat (I would not recommend eating it) especially if you were only using it to butter toast.
It’s just a fun, silly song.
Waterproofing PCBs
Wounds heal best when they’re kept moist, (something tattoo artists have known about for a long time, as they always suggest keeping lotion on a healing tattoo) and traditional gauze bandaging actively dries out wounds. This prevents effective healing and causes additional scarring.
Stop the bleeding, and then smear a bit of Vaseline on top of the wound before putting a bandage on to cover it. The Vaseline will prevent the bandage from drying out the wound, allowing it to heal faster and with less scarring.
Isn’t traditional gauze bandaging supposed to be paired with a dressing, that would usually keep the wound from drying out?
I was raised to always put a bead of Neosporin under the bandage but that’s just Vaseline with some antiseptic ingredients
Yep! Perfectly good dressing for most minor wounds! Although I think the triple antibiotic hasn’t been shown to have much benefit when compared to Vaseline alone.
Sealing a rubber gasket
Chapped lips
Mix it with human hair to make model animals that you then eat for your actually surprisingly unentertaining late-nineties MTV chat show.
Oh dear I love the stuff.
Skin LOVES it
MUCH better than aloe for sunburn
Lubricates and protects basically any metal, rubber or plastic
Stays slick when giving a massage
EDIT:
For the gents in the house, apply liberally to prevent any “sticking” throughout the day. Baby powder also works and is probably better for humid climates
I suggest Gold Bond Extra Strength for your junk fellow dick and ball havers out there, prevents chaffing, heals if it’s already there, and as was told to me when I was first educated about it by a buddy on my wrestling team, “feels like tiny little fairy’s are gently blowing on you balls”. 10/10 would recommend
