Lip Balm - Tube VS pot

[dixiedragon]

Debate! What's your personal preference? Sellers, what is most popular?

I'm totally a tube girl. I don't like rubbing my finger all over the balm to put it on my lips. Especially if my nails are longer and the pot is half used, so I have to use my nail like a spoon to dig some out.

If you make both, do you have a different formula for the two differenct containers?

And is it just me, or are the sliding pots just a dumb idea waiting to open in your purse and get hair and lint all over them?

I've made both and the pots were not a huge seller. I sell way more in the tubes so that's what I've settled on. My balm in the pots was a bit softer otherwise pretty much the same. I too don't like putting my fingers in the pots. I got a bunch of really cute pots (shaped like candies and cupcakes) in a co-op and they are a royal pain to fill and really didn't sell well. I still have quite a few that aren't filled and just sitting in my soaping/bb room.

Tubes for sure!! The fingernail thing...I can't stand that. I do have a few lip glosses (much softer) in pots, but my go to lip balm are the tubes.
