I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I'm curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

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

We used it to lubricate seals on a pool pump.

Wait does that improve the seal? I have that exact issue right now

I believe it was to prevent tears as the gasket was sandwiched between the 2 halves of the pump.

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

Technically still for my lips but it's super

I use it to prevent chafing when swimming.

When you're stuck like glue

When you need some goo

When you're black and blue

If you'd like to woo

It's used at festivals - put some under your nose and the portaloos aren't so bad
