It's a push up people - this works as expected
[[VIDEOID:45376213de93fe0b128beb0ccf9b966a]]I'm going to start by saying, that I think it is unfair to give this low stars because it is a push-up.  A lot of reviewers are complaining about that, like they didn't know. I would suggest reading the description. It is stated in the description that this is a push-up and you should go into this understanding that.<br /><br />That being said, this is a good product (thick plastic, well sized, and attractive), but it's not the worlds best push-up tube. When this comes out of the package, the plunger you push is very firm and sticky. I thought that this would be a good indicator that these would have some grip to them so that your product doesn't just fly out the top when you push the plunger.  A common problem with push-ups. I was able to fill them with no leaking, and they held a really nice quantity of product. One ounce seems just perfect for about a month of body butter or natural deodorant. Imagine a tube a little bit larger than a quarter, and about the length of your pointer finger. This looked like a five star product, until I needed to push the tube up.<br /><br />The oils in the body butter lubed the interior portion of the tube and the push-up piece slips right out of the tube. There's no lip to keep the  gasket in and the product from falling out. As other reviewers have stated, you need to use your finger, on the product, to push this back down into the bottom of the tube again. You could probably get tricky with application and push it back while you're applying by creating resistance against your finger and pushing on the product at the same time.<br /><br />I often times make mosquito repellent body butter bars or Shea butter bars for my son who has eczema.  I don't think he could manage application without this becoming a huge problem. A twist-up tube would certainly be more appropriate in that situation as I don't think that a child could use this cautiously.<br /><br />Bottom line, if you can use this cautiously and be careful with applying, you can avoid the product flying out of the tube and enjoy this attractive, and perfectly sized tube.  If not, look into a twist tube.
