A personal fluid dispenser, comprising: a housing defining a cavity and having a first window; a bottle received within said cavity and having liquid contents therein; a push/pull valve received by said bottle for opening and closing said bottle, said push/pull valve being selectively moved between a retracted position in which said bottle is closed and an extended position in which said bottle is open, said push/pull valve being selectively moved in the same direction as an axial passage communicating with the liquid contents of said bottle; and a slide actuator received by said housing, said slide actuator including a thumb pad exposed through said first window of said housing and a collar at a first end of said slide actuator in engagement with said push/pull valve and a second end that is spring biased, said slide actuator adapted to be manually manipulated to move said push/pull valve axially between said retracted and said extended positions, said spring bias serving to pull said push/pull valve to the closed position.
