Chapstick.
Lips get dry and it’s helpful to have lip balm in one’s pocket or purse. Just keep in mind it’s not ok to apply just any old time. That tube of beeswax or whatever it’s made of turns into a sin stick when applied during church, so we were forbidden to use it inside the church building. Some poor guy just trying to listen to a sermon could turn and see me putting lip balm on and suddenly think of lips and then sex and then it would cause a whole bunch of lust. And it’s our job as women to make sure we never cause a man to lust.
Wet hair.
No wet hair out of the house. At all. Like not even for running a quick errand to the grocery store, or taking a walk, or anything in public actually. You get wet hair by washing it in the shower, and one is (presumably1) naked in the shower. Naked equals lust, and again we must protect the men by only appearing in public with properly dried hair, because if they see wet hair they might think of you naked and we need to make sure they don’t do that.
(And…… no wonder I had such a deep fear/despised men for many years. Trauma can take many forms.)
There are, of course, always exceptions. (#nevernude)
