Well, I’m no longer a smoker and have never been much of a strawer. This is good advise. I ALWAYS notice people with Purse Mouth.

Well, when I read this, I did get a bit worried. I even put down my refreshing beverage (with teeny-tiny cocktail straw) and I thought a bit. Then I resumed my beverage sucking, with my fingers on my upper-lip region (ulr) and I realized that my ulr did not compress into wrinkles because I employ a bit of tongue action in my beverage sucking. See, that’s the secret–a little bit of tongue. Tightens up the chin sag, too.

Pippa, I think lapping would actually be the PREFERRED method of consuming any RED wine–it needing the extry breathing time and all. I’m sure it will catch on–they will come out with WINE BOWLS very soon.

I have a friend who has a whistling disorder –
she does it constantly. It’s like an early alert
warning when she comes into the area.
And yes, severe case of purse mouth on that one.
Be warned! Lucy Lawrence

love all the replies above…. even snorted a few times reading this. Guess I’m gonna have to go with Judy’s suggestion and just smile all the damn time. I quit smoking 10 years ago, don’t use a straw very much (except while drinking a chocolate milkshake)…….MY problem is whistling and YES I have noticed what it does to the mouth !!!! Lordy I catch myself now every time I start to belt out a tune while whistling. And I believe it’s worse when you have NO lips………GEEZ, getting older sucks a big one !!!

Well, shit. If anybody needs me, I’ll be sittin’ here trying to invent a reasonable way to ingest chocolate shakes without having to use a spoon, as it is My Personal Belief that shake drinkage should only require a maximum of one hand.

OH FOR PETE’S SAKE! I CANNOT GO WITHOUT A STRAW! That is how I keep my teeth so dang white! This really sucks, I am gonna have to contemplate for awhile about this. DANGIT…I am sitting here slurping through a straw RIGHT NOW. I won’t be 40 until November 21. Can I use a straw until then? Kinda wean myself off of it real slow like.

Well, now I know what caused all them many many little tiny wrinkles around my mouth. But, I’ma feared the straw maybe be as hard a thing to give up as cigs. And, since I ALREADY have all these wrinkles I’ll have to contemplate what I shall do. However at my age I really don’t like given up anything cause it’s usually not fun. But a big thank you for the info cause it is ALWAYS appreciated and loved.
