my poor lips

[Mamafish83]

:P I saw a post on the topic of sore gums...but I don't have that problem...it's my darn lips.

So as an ex smoker (8 whole days now without even one cancer stick) and an ex "dipper" I've had trouble with my gums and lips before...but never so strange a feeling as this. It's hard for me to NOT do something with my mouth while snusing. (stay focused boys) when I smoked it was putting the cig to my lips, dipping was spitting and messin with the dip...now....I fight the urge to "touch" the pris for fear of "mudd" and end up licking my lips A LOT! So chapstick isn't helping and I'm lookin a little like I just went skiing! Ugh...does it get better with time? Or am I the only one with this issue?!

Also, I've noticed a "puckering" and tenderness to the inside of my lip around where the pris sits...don't get it with portions...is that normal? Never really had trouble with my gums....just my lips. TIA

I assume the lips you are referring to are above your chin? 8)

:shock: Yes...the ones attached to my FACE! ops:

FOCUS!

That is normal when you haven't used loose very long, or if you "chain-loose" all day. It gets better over time as your lips and gums acclimate to salt in the los. The absence of the portion material to act as a buffer is the reason why it's so harsh at first.

give me a break...........I'm reading this in brail.




I didn't think you had a beard. :P

[Mamafish83]

8) no...no beard... :wink:


And Jason...I never even thought about the salt factor...duh right!? That would explain a LOT! Gesh...what a noob...

Most defiantly it is the salt.

I guess since various other body parts are mucus membranes that one could snus in alternate locations. Might make for some strange moments during intimate times though!

Or PP could be referring to that homer simpson pic from the site joomba or what ever site. In that pick, they are technically above his chin :P

WOW Ainkor very attentive. I'm glad there is someone out there that actually reads my posts. :shock:



and yes, sometimes when I post photos you need to look really closely at the details to get the "full" picture. BTW, have any of you found the photo of me yet? the one with the bird[s]. I know a few of you were looking for it a while back. I promise its here somewhere. hee hee

Homer is awesome!

I can relate Mamafish! I've tried MANY chapsticks which seemed to make matters worse. The one that works pretty well for me is Blistex Berry medicated and it's cheap! I also avoid wearing lipstick, unless I am going out cuz that dries my lips out even more.

Mamafish, berts bees lip balm will take care of you . It costs a bit more than chapstick, but works wonders and also is a pretty good lubricant for an Icetool,

Mine were dry for a about a week there, but then it went away.
