Using the combinatorial descriptions of stuffle product, we obtain recursive formulas for the stuffle product of multiple zeta values and of multiple zeta-star values. Then we apply the formulas to prove several stuffle product formulas with one or two strings of $z_p$'s. We also describe how to use our formulas in general cases.
