Pussy Pucker Pots and Literati Balm


Pussy Pucker Pots & Literati Balm

[Candelilla wax, sweet almond oil, flavor oils, vitamin e]

[coconut oil, shea butter, avocado, soybean, and hemp oils, candelilla wax, vitamin e, rosemary extract, glycerin, flavor]

This blog is really a teaser, so I'm going to apologize now. Both of these balms are put out by female activist and entrepreneur Stacy Bias. This balm is EXTREMELY hard to get now, which is a shame because it is so amazing. This is a Vegan, cruelty free lip balm made at home with love and smarts.

I first heard about Pussy Pucker Pots a few years ago on a trip to Chicago. A sex shop, Early 2 Bed, sold them. I was intrigued. Sadly I waiting till I figured my parents would not flip and assume I'm a lesbian to purchase these. There are 12 amazing flavors which are real conversation started. Don't need no MANgo is by far my favorite. There is also Shaved Peach, Plain Ol' Prude, vanilla vulva, citrus clitoris, just to name a few. I am lucky enough to own the mango, peach, plain, vanilla, and apricot flavors.

Pussy Pucker Pots come in neato .5 oz metal tins. The nice thing is that these open really easy, and there are no dangerous edges to worry about. The simple and funny black cat label add a nice charm.

They do not have an overpowering smell. To be honest, some of them don't smell to great. The Mango is not the nicest mango scent, and likewise the apricot and vanilla. The plain one smells like the sweet almond oil, which isn't bad. When you put these on, then they shine.

Using your finger to apply is the easiest. These balms and so silky smooth. They glide on from you finger to your lips and feel absolutely fabulous! They taste good, but it's not extremely sweet so you are not constantly licking your lips. It does not feel waxy or greasy, it is just a nice light feeling.

Pussy pucker pots have a pretty reasonable wear time. I would say about 3-4 hours of solid wearing.


Literati Balm is very similar to Pussy Pucker Pots, but these are for the cerebrally chapped....not for the greatest tasting lips north of the hips.

They have added ingredients to soften lips and is only .25 oz.

I was able to come across Bronte Berry and PoeMegranate.

(a cool factoid, a 5 cent donation was made for every balm sold to a literacy program)

The application and balm texture is about the same as the Pussy Pucker Pots. These balms seem to be a bit harder, but that would be the shea butter by my calculations.

The PoeMegranate, and this is coming from someone who is not a huge pomegranate fan, is splendid. It is a light scent and taste of this little berry.

The Bronte Berry is a delightful berry blend. Not over powering but you can tell there is a raspberry involved.

These last a little longer than the Pussy Pucker Pots but there is less of in the tin... so it better.

Overall, I wish these balms were still in production. They are the greatest, wittiest, and most worthwhile lip balm I've come across.
I want to share their awesomeness with you, and hopefully some day some one will continue the line or tweak it a bit and bring it back.

Rating: 6 outta 5
Yes....they are that amazing.
