There has been a wild rumor circulating from Squid Game: The Challenge that contestants were using condoms as chapstick, but a player has clarified that this is not true. As the real-life counterpart to the hit Netflix series, the show has produced clear protagonists and antagonists, with contestants like 065 and 278 making waves for their unique gameplay strategies.
Behind the scenes, there has been just as much, if not more drama, as several players have criticized the set conditions on Red Light, Green Light. However, perhaps the most shocking claim is that players allegedly used condom lube as chapstick. Is this true or just a wild rumor from Squid Game: The Challenge? Dexerto interviewed Player 277, Sabrina Sabir, to get the truth.
Squid Game: The Challenge player confirms “condoms as chapstick” rumor
When questioned about the rumor of using condoms as chapstick, Sabrina responded, "This is completely true," and then raised a valid point: "I'm amazed they didn't cover it."
The bitter January weather in the UK caused many contestants to suffer from chapped lips during filming. Despite this, the toiletries packages provided by producers did not include chapstick, forcing some players to resort to unconventional measures.
"We were all struggling with chapped lips and some were even bleeding," Sabrina explained. "I have to admit, I didn't use it. But I was close. Others resorted to using condoms for relief."
NetflixPlayer 277, Sabrina, has confirmed the veracity of the rumor.
In particular, they were utilizing the lubricant from the condoms to moisturize their lips. Eventually, the producers caught on and corrected the issue.
"I believe my final day was when they secretly placed chapstick in everyone's fanny pack. This is indeed true. Perhaps, if there's a Season 2, they should consider giving out chapstick instead of condoms."

Editor's P/S
As a Squid Game fan, I was intrigued by the recent rumor that contestants on the show were using condoms as chapstick. I was initially skeptical of the claim, but after reading the article, I believe it to be true. The article contains an interview with Sabrina Sabir, a contestant on the show, who confirms that she and other contestants used condoms as chapstick due to the lack of chapstick provided by the producers.
I can understand why the contestants would resort to using condoms as chapstick. The cold weather in the UK during filming would have caused their lips to become chapped and dry. Chapstick is a common remedy for chapped lips, so it makes sense that the contestants would look for an alternative when it wasn't provided. While using condoms as chapstick may not be the most conventional solution, it is understandable given the circumstances.
