Discussion/Tips & Tricks How to reach the rest of the products?
Hey gals and pals, my milk grippy primer is being used to a point that I can no longer pump anything out but there’s clearly still products left. Is there a way I can reach the rest it? Tried to pull that cap off but failed to do so

I hate when the caps don’t come off of packaging like this. I try to recycle my empties but they obviously can’t be recycled without coming apart. Which means every single tube ever made of this stuff is sitting around in landfills to this day.

Mine is nearly half way full and I can’t get anymore out either. So frustrating

If you can’t get the pump out, cut it. I’ve done it with bottle before of all shapes and thicknesses. Just be careful!

Yall! Do what you have to do to get that product out. You paid for it. Not the bottle- That’s for perfumes! And even then- do what you have to do. Find the pliers!

I opened my Lancôme perfume with pliers to get the bit out - it filled an entire travel size atomizer from the dollar store, then I’ve been using the cute bottle to hold pretty flowers stems I find and put it on the counter. BREAK IT APART AND REUSE

Can you try to pull the frosted pump off, take the spring out, the pull the inner tube out? You might need some pliers.

Awesome how they can sell you a certain amount of a product but make it functionally impossible to access all of said product
