sticky or stringy vaseline


Explanation:
filante stands for oily, thick, glutenous, sticky, stringy.

Filante has connotation of spinning, of a string or such. Therefore, I prefer the STRINGY VASELINE but Google will give you lmore STICKY hits.

agree  Laurel Brand (X): I think the best solution is vaseline gel, as it has a more substantial, glutenous structure than liquid vaseline.
