Abstract: A holding sleeve system includes: (a) a holding sleeve configured to receive a first object therein; (ii) a coupler connected to the holding sleeve; and (ii) an attachment member selectively coupled to the coupler, the attachment member selectively coupling to a second object. One or both sleeve ends can have (i) a first terminus; and (ii) a second terminus. The first terminus extends further away from the center of the sleeve than the second terminus, such that the first terminus of the first end can cover and protect a portion (e.g., threads of a lip balm container) of a first object while another portion is exposed outside the sleeve and can be contacted by a user.
