Lipstick stains?

Went to a strip club this past Friday and, long story short, I've got lipstick stains on my pants. Any tips for getting them out?

    When I made out with one ex who wore lipstick regularly, I would get here lipstick on my white color and shirt from time to time. Oddly enough, rubbing a pencil eraser on the stains seemed get it out. You might try that.

    There's always the club soda approach.

    Sounds simple enough. I'll give those a try and see how it goes.

    I've always had good luck with the ShoutTM/tube/scrubber thing. Most pre-wash detergents are designed with lipstick in mind. And blood. Its been a long night when you get both on you.

    Fortunately, I was lucky enough not to get blood on me at the strip club. I'm suddenly reminded of Superbad for some reason.

    It sounds weird, but this worked for me after regular stain removers didn't get my stepmom's thick mauve lipstick off my shirt...
    Take the shirt, a brown paper bag, and an iron - place the paper bag on the ironing board, the shirt (stain side down against the bag) on top of the bag, then iron the backside of the stain. The heat from the iron will melt the wax that's in the lipstick and the paper bag will draw it out from the fabric.

    Of course, that's if it was a traditional wax based lipstick and not one of those weird lasts for 17 days kinds of lipsticks.
