People occasionally need help crying, and the menthol tear stick was designed to make that process easy. Whether you're an actor trying to make your role seem more authentic or the host of a successful television show, the ability to cry on command can be a useful tool. Once you apply a small amount of this tear stick under your eyes, you'll be crying like a baby in no time.

Apply a small amount of the tear stick on the orbital bone below your eyes. Because the tear stick is shaped like a lipstick container, you only have to lightly run it over your orbital bone.

Wait a minute or two for the warmth of your skin to activate the menthol and camphor vapors, which will produce a few tears.

Remove the tear stick residue with a damp cotton ball or towel.

Warnings:

  • Do not put this directly in your eyes, as it can damage them.
