Are you having trouble opening the pump for the newest product you bought? Well I have a quick fix for you. Normally you would put your finger on this part of the pump and twist it open, but sometimes they can get really tough to open. Take the pump out of the bottle, rinse off the shaft and dry it. Then you're going to firmly grip the shaft just under the collar of the pump and firmly twist to the right. That will pop the pump open, put the pump back in the bottle and you're ready to use your new product. I hope that helps!

I was so frustrated that the pump didn’t work. You saved the day! Pump works great now!!!
Nope, my Purell bottle won’t release.
Not working for me, I think I need two wrenches one to grip and one to twist. So frustrating. Anyone find this method simply does not work?
this was incredible and literally saved me from dying. i will now devote my life to tova
Thank you so much! Why do sooo many products have this poor design like someone else said I had too use pliers to hold the base then it popped open, geez!
Super! Worked like a charm! You saved me from buying another bottle, I thought the one I got was faulty. Thank you so much for the great tip!
You are a life saver! Simple instructions and I opened my shower gel bottle in a few seconds.
Simple, brilliant Thank you!!!!
This really helped. Could have saved myself 10 mins if I found this sooner. Thanks!
PERFECT description – thank you for relieving my frustration!
Never thought I would have to look at a video to open a pump bottle. But bought a new body wash today, and without your tip would have thrown it away,
Pity the manufacturers don’t put this info on the label on the bottle, would save a lot of strife.
Wow…thank you!
Sometimes it is absolutely impossible to get these pumps to work. I have some that I have given up on because no matter how carefully I follow the instructions, the pump does not pop. I end up having to take the entire top off each time I use the product. When I find a pump that works I save it for future products where it doesn’t work, but now I try to avoid those pop-up pumps. Certain brands are better or worse than others.
Thanks so much for this. Was already getting frustrated.
Thanks so much for this. Was already getting frustrated.
Amazing, it WORKED.. thanks for sharing!!
Worked like a charm!! My was stuck so tight that I did have to use a pair of pliers to grip the collar as my hand wasn’t strong enough, but it worked just the same!
Where have you been all my life? This worked so easily! Thank you posting.
Thank you! It worked!
Thank you so much for this video!!
I have had this problem for years. I have literally thrown out, smashed bottles, broken them or in desperation, reused the one bottle I could open over and over, throwing out the new versions. This video has changed everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much. Needless to say I had this problem for years. You are a God-send!
Thanks very much for this video. I was able to get pliers on the collar and then twist the nozzle, avoiding having to deal with the pump itself. BUT…the direction to twist the nozzle varies from product to product. There is an arrow on the top of the nozzle indicating the direction, but it’s quite hard to read.
Read carefully… ALL the posts. Notice how many bottles have been discarded? The next Greatest Marketing New Idea following planned obsolesce . Always turn to the “other right”. Right?
Thank You!
