Lip gloss don’t offer protection for both sexes as they’re more categorized in the female cosmetics section. Males can find comfort in the fact that their lips can be saved from chafing by buying lip balms instead, which are less feminine.
On the other hand, females tend to shift towards lip glosses for their shiny glittery touches while offering protection as well. Unfortunately, they have to deal with it sticking to everywhere; eg. hair, other surfaces, etc.
Lip balms offer protection without turning your lips into a pair of mutated disco balls. Lip glosses are available readily and come in a variety of colors, tastes, and touches.
