I saw this on sale the other day and I knew I'd like it because I use all the Olay products, which I affectionately refer to as "Oil Of Old Lady." So, I got two bottles. I just took a shower and I grabbed one and I couldn't get it open. The bottle is designed to sit upside down, okay, I get that..but, who the fuck designed the lid? It only has an indentation there and no little lip/tab thingy. The top (or is it the bottom?) is too thin and close to the edge to use pressure to open it. That won't work. I tried slipping my thumb nail in it and it wouldn't budge. I would have torn off my nail. I tried taking the whole lid off, but, it doesn't work that way. After fussing with it too long, I thought maybe it was just the one bottle. So, I got out and slopped water all over to grab the second bottle. No dice. It's the way it's made. I was so pissed off. I ended up with a towel around my wet self, tracking water all over the kitchen to get a butter knife to pry the GD thing open. The good news is..it's a great product. My skin feels nice and I smell good..but, who the fuck designed that piece of shit bottle?? Don't the fucking idiots test how well the lid works on these things? Are they fucking retarded? You can't use it if you can't open it. I'm really pissed. Will I have to put a butter knife in the shower? You fucking manufacturing genius's. Fuck you with an upside down bottle. I'm pissed enough to go look up their asshole website.

Stupid frickin' bottle

I hate these upside down bottles. Not only are they a pain in the ass to open, but when it is upside down, the dam product leaks all over the counter.
Nothing comes out of this one..without a tool kit.
This product is real thick and it won't ooze out. Do what I do, don't click it all the way closed.

Tell me about it. Usually I get another bottle and put the shower gel or conditioner in. I hate messing with them in the shower. You have to have super strength to open up the products.
I think they need to hear from you, DD. Seriously, how many people are going to be turned off enough by this that they won't bother buying another one? That's the only thing that the major companies understand is loss of profits.
I use "oil of old lady", too.
So true. And those impossible to open plastic "Boxes" around so many items. Nearly cut my hand off once, well not really, but did get a deep cut.
And those stupid worthless cutters on the plastic wrap box. Yeah, gotta scar on my wrist that looks like I tried to commit suicide from one of those suckers.

Hate the bottle-HATE the product: it leaves a greasy mess in the tub. Yuck.
Hey, Dollar General has this clone of Oil Of Olay face wash, it's called Beauty Lotion. It's the exact same ingrediants and an identical push nozel bottle. It's even the same color..and it's only two bucks. Try it.
Ironic...making a product for older women but putting it in bottles only a well muscled young engineer can open.
Pat,
Are you having some weakness, perhaps?
DD...Put a hole in the bottom (or which ever part points up) with an ice pick or knife and just squeeze it out when you need it. Don't even bother with their opening! It looks like most shampoos/conditioners are going that route and it is agrevating. All the companies do marketing studies on their products---makes you wonder where they find the people to test the products!
there is a 1800 number on the bottom of most products. give them a call, who knows, you may get a coupon in the mail for a free product! I did that once with some ice cream!

Yep, been there, done that! I usually end up banging the little tab thing with a razor handle or something, bang bang, till it pops open. Sometimes I have just said "to he** with it!" I tried the ribbons too and liked it. It does make your skin very soft. I forget to buy it again! LOL! I like to use it on one of those puff things. Its fab. I just bought one of those skin cleanser 360's. It comes with the little scrubber stuck right in the middle of the bottle, you pop it out when u use it. Loves it! I got the exfoliating one, it smells like citrus. Try it you guys! You will love it.

I went to the website and they want you to fill out a fucking question thingy before you can email. Fuck them.
