Have you ever bought one of those bottles of hand soap or lotion where the nozzle is all the way down when you get it? There’s a little embossed message on the nozzle saying to “turn to open” or something like that, but when you spin it, nothing happens. Well this video shows why and how to fix it.

It turns out that the nozzles are made with 3 parts- an outer ring, an inner ring and the nozzle itself. In the cases where you spin the nozzle to open it, but noting happens, both the nozzle and the inner ring are spinning in tandem. the way to fix it is simple. Just tighten the outer ring by screwing it down on to the bottle. This will lock the inner ring into position without affecting the nozzle. This allows you to turn the nozzle without spinning the inner ring, and thus, the nozzle will open as it is supposed to.

  1. These companies that obviously don't care should make these better. 😡😡😡😡😡😡

  2. Dude, you're awesome. Thank you for this. I'm felt like a numbnut for not being able to get it to pop open.

  3. Great video! I struggled for 5 min with this until I watched your video. Got it on the first try and it only took a few seconds! 👍

  4. Dude, you rock! I was ready to give up until I found your video. I was so frustrated to think that I’m too stupid to open a pump soap. Problem solved thanks to you.

  5. A four year old video saves the day. Couldn't figure out how I always seemed to end up with pop up dispensers that just refused to pop up properly, including one that I bought as part of a CostCo set several months ago that I was just needing to open now. Tried that trick, and ba-BING! The nozzle shot right up as advertised. Good to know, thanks for this! I'm no longer afraid to open my own hand soap. 😄👍

  6. I just had to google how to open had soap and body wash. Was about to return them and then I found your video. Happy I'm not alone 😀

  7. Thank you! After watching your video, I opened the bottle on my 1st try, after numerous tries before. So easy when you know how to do it.
