Oh hangnails. We know we should wait until we have access to nail clippers to remove them, but I'm often impatient enough that I just rip them out and sometimes they bleed. Reddit user NicholassBalls points out that using a bit of ChapStick or other lip balms on the hangnail will stop the bleeding and take a bit of the sting out of the small wound.

Lip balm works well for other uses as well. A similar use we previously covered was stopping bloody shaving nicks, but you can also use it to fix a stuck drawer, help install light bulbs in a sticky socket, and quiet squeaky shoes. We've even shown you how to make your own moisturizing lip balm. It's not duct tape or paracord, but it does have a place in most of our pockets in Fall and Winter so learn an alternate use or two!
