Subscription isn't worth it and the basic color options that were available when I ordered weren't appealing. Product is ok. It does help keep my chapstick cooler, but for me it wasn't enough to stop it from being too soft to use. I can't imagine much could truly prevent the issue so I don't fault the company for that. Seems like it's a quality built product that does work if the temps aren't too high. I probably won't buy more but I'll keep what I have.
