Title: New oestrogel pump - dispensing incorrect amount each time
Post by: Hopeful2 on September 30, 2023, 07:54:06 AM
Good morning ladies

Has anyone else had this issue?

Last bottle didn't pump out enough and this bottle pumping out too much. I thought last night loads came out and my lips are all swollen this morning because of it. Am so fed up 🙁 the older bottles were much better and dispensed the correct amount each time. Has anyone managed to get older bottle or are we stuck with these new bottles now?

Is there something you can but to measure it. Thank you ladies.

Could you pump into a small bowl then use what is required?

I've got the new shape bottle and the pump seems a bit dodgy...I had to give it a short quick hard push this morning, as first pump didn't seem to be as much - and it's been open since last week.
Arghhh, wish they'd stop messing with things!!! >:(

I bought a set of micro scales off Amazon, only about a fiver.

I use them towards the end of a bottle as the amount definitely lessens.

I also bought a little silicone spatula to get the gel off the scales and onto me!

This has worked well.

Ah that’s weird seeing this as I am sure my new bottle exactly same as previous bottle is dispensing significantly less per pump - I’ve thought this for the past few days since I stated new bottle.
