I use it to prevent chafing when swimming.

Creating silicone dice molds for resin casting. The vaseline acts as a mold release

IiRC that's what it was originally invented for.

Not dice specifically but casting release.

Yeah, I use it to wipe on my nose when I’m sick or my allergies are bad. It helps prevent it from getting all dried out from the tissues! I also rib a little on my hands sometime#, it goes a long way as a moisturizer. In summer I rub some between my toes if they get dried out.

Candelestine,

It’s good for knuckles that crack and bleed in the winter. Lotion isn’t really good enough unless you’re applying it multiple times a day.

Same, and also for the tip of my nose. Windy weather with low humidity makes the tip of my nose itch like crazy. Normal moisturiser helps remove the itch but it absorbs too quickly to work as a protective measure, so an extra coat of Vaseline stops the area drying out again as quickly.

TBH, it’s not that great for lips. Try Carmex.

Fondots,

Back in my marching band days, we swore by blistex DCT as our lip balm of choice.

Take it from the people who spend all summer out in the sun preparing to press pieces of metal up to our lips in sometimes freezing weather.

Belgdore,

Carmex burns like fire

Crankpork,

It’s good to put around your eyebrows when you’re tinting them, so you don’t stain the skin or any invisible hair.

Also good for putting on nail polish, for similar reasons.

ANuStart,

I play chess with it

When I have a squeaky hinge I put some petroleum jelly on the pin and the problem is cured.

Yes. And I'll take no further questions on the subject.

When i see to much i put it in my eyes

sci,

cracked skin on my soles

Usernameblankface,

I use it kind of like WD-40 in a farm setting. It's messy, but not as messy as grease. It's effective to coat things that constantly wear and have started to rust. I also rub it on my leather boots to waterproof it for cheap.

I use it on my instruments. Greasing the cork connectors on my clarinet and lubricating the tuning slide on my trumpet.

henfredemars,

Eczema, where your typical lotion just won’t cut it.

O-rings. Lube them up so they don't leak in use/dry out in storage for my cheap-o pool, works great.
