Agree with this for most folks (using on hands or feet) but if you gotta cover more surface area it can get gone. My 8yo kid had a rash on his thighs and back and we used up a tub pretty quick.
Yup. A large tub can still last months, but it certainly has to be replaced regularly when used on arms, legs, and upper-chest regularly). Granted, I've largely switched to using CeraVe's healing ointment, so now a regular petroleum jelly tub does last a very long time, but the probably not applies to the replacement (which I have an empty 12oz container on the trashcan next to me now...)
