Sarah Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Does anyone know where I can get natural lip balm tubes that don't twist up? I know they exist, I never used to have this problem, but I haven't done lip balms in a couple years and I can't remember where I used to order from..The ones I am having trouble with are from MMS - I've had a few people tell me that this happened to them, and I'm going to email MMS about it today. I still have one of the older tubes that worked good, and they do look different, I just wish I knew where I ordered them from - they are not as clear as the ones from MMS, and the cap is a little different, too - not as rounded.Any ideas?(oh and Hi! I don't know if anyone remembers me, I haven't been around here in a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edensong Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If they don't twist up, how the heck do you get the lip balm out? Sorry, I don't a visual of what they look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 No, I want them to twist up - just not on their own. I've had some complaints about them twisting up when people carry them in their pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I buy my tubes from WSP and have gone through about 200 of them this year and no complaints. I use them personally and they don't twist up by themselves.Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thank you Rae. Unfortunately WSP is the one company that I won't order from. (I had a really bad experience with them a couple years ago)Does anyone use the tubes from Bitter Creek or SKS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydreamer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It has been awhile since I ordered the tubes from BCN but if memory serves correctly they were not as clear as the ones from MMS which I now use, but the lids were a better fit and did not have any problems with them. Only reason as to why I switched was shipping costs MMS is closer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Awesome, thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know.have you had any problems with the MMS tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've ordered from SKS and sometimes the fit of the cap is a little tight on the tube.I get my natural tubes from Colorado Organics now and I don't have any problem with the cap fitting or with them turning up on their own. However their prices are not as awesome as they user to be - when I first ordered I could get them for $.11 each, now I think they are $.13 to $.15 each.

IndulgentCreations Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 BayouSome has them, .12 if you order 100. They're awesome to work with and fast on shipping. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I get mine from SKS, and I've gotten no complaints regarding them twisting up in the pocket. And I know my sister carries her in her pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann M Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Elements Bath and Body has them. They are located in KY so shipping is pretty reasonable. www.elementsbathandbody.comAnn M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks, I will check a few places out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydreamer Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Sarah, I haven't had the problem that you are speaking of with the MMS tubes, but the lids do not fit as tightly as I would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 hmm I wonder if it was just a bad bunch? I can't even say it was a fluke since I just recently started doing lip balms again, and have had three people say they had it happen.
