What is your favorite style bottle? - Page 4 - tanTALK

din my only problem with that style is how little lotion comes out.... if it's for your face it's OK but for your whole body it takes forever to get the lotion out. then my hands are slippery and you drop it. lol

I like the pumps but would prefer a shorter. The twist cap is nice also. I HATE SPRAYS AND HAVE BANNED THEM.

I like the fact I can get more lotion out of the tube but I like the security of a twist top. You screw it on and you know it's not going to squirt out or the top pop open and ooze out. That is unless you had some one the 07 DS jewel topped bottles. That didn't work out well.

Seems like we always have problems with the short pumps. I really like the snap caps.

This was a very helpful poll IMHO :)

We will be totally rethinking our lotion line-up based on these results.

I was just thinking not long ago how nice the cap was on Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. It comes with a sticker on the lid (which can act a seal that it hasn't been tampered with or opened previously) all you do with this style is just squeeze the bottle, nothing to open or twist and it stores so the lotion is always at the opening so no shaking or messy floors to clean up. Then we got the new bottles of Swedish Beauty Stunning in..happy to see they have red on the front label as well. Anyway it's very similar but you do twist the lid just slightly (it's not removed) and it opens, it doesn't have the ridges on the side so it won't slide out of your hand. I think this style packaging will go over very well. It's always nice for the manufacturers to see what is important to salon owners by voicing our opinons.

Yes, the new bottles from SB are really good. I have old sold Stunning and Skin Embrace. These bottles seem to solve most issues. First you can get ALL of you product out since you get the lotion from the bottom of the bottle, where it settles. Second, its easy to open and handle. And third if you drop it, its not likely you will damage the dispenser.

However, I have had people battle these thing to get them open. Its no obvious. You will likely need to show them the first time.

I enjoy multiple short pumps with some quality extended pumps here and there just to mix it up a bit.

I've gotta go change my pants...
