We are currently in a silly situation when dealing with refillable products for home, and I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas.
If I wanted shower gel (for example), all the refillable locations require a bottle with the capacity printed on it, and for it to be empty. And basically I don’t want to wait until my shower gel is out completely before getting any more, so I would want an intermediate container however I cannot find a 1l bottle that has the capacity embossed on it so that I can take it to the refill station, and bring it home. I really don’t want to buy another small plastic bottle with the capacity on a paper label that does one refill of the gel, and would have to be replaced when the label comes off.
Just a thought, would they sell into an open measuring jug.
Then transfer to old bottle of some form as you leave?
Gets a bit more complex if buying multiple items. As you would need to carry multiple jugs plus bottles.
I spose if they provided their own jugs. They would be unable to sell overpriced bottles?
Interesting thought. A measuring jug would be awkward, but not impossible.
you can get glass water bottles with millilitre markings on with glass lids
Do you have an example? I don’t see anything like that around here
Hmm I might’ve been overambitious. Searching “glass water bottle with measurements” gets a few Amazon results but so many of them have “motivational” time labels but no ml markings…
There are quite a few listings for chemistry reagent type containers, too, which could maybe work?
The best thing I’ve found is this from Dunelm might be what you’re after?
Yeah, thanks but it doesn’t appear to have the capacity printed on it.
I’ll resume my search.
It has “1.4L” embossed into the glass :)! it’s just hard to see in the photos
Ah, that might work then!
