It’s no secret that many men use chapstick just as much as your average woman. But unlike many products out there, chapstick seems to be the one that has a single standard form, it hasn’t really been customized to appeal to either sex specifically, until now. Lotta Luv’s ChapFix is a new chapstick designed specifically with the male customer in mind. The packaging isn’t round and bulky; rather, it’s flat and designed to fit into a pant pocket as opposed to a hand bag. Steph Fogelson, Lotta Luv’s president, elaborates, “There are also perforations on the side to allow for easy gripping. The package is a masculine black and red and the name is a clever play on the use of the word ‘chap.’” Sounds pretty clever to me.
