Lanolin (hydrous) is an ointment that is sold to treat dry skin and can be purchased at your local pharmacy or Walgreens.

The term pigskin refers to football since the first footballs were made from pig skin. For example, tossing the pigskin.
Sure, it seemed to help loosen up my glove but, now I can't get the olive oil out of my glove.

i never used an oven to break in my mitt but a very good way is to oil your glove (you can buy glove oil at almost any sporting goods store), put a softball in the web, rubberband it, stick it under your matress as you sleep. this will not work by just the first time, i did it to my glove about 3 times and i already felt a difference as i played.
