This works well. One major advantage is that you can lock the lotion pump by turning it to the left, you will hear a click, and the dispenser is locked. This is much easier to lock than the traditional lotion pumps, in which you have to pump down, squeeze out a bunch of lotion, and then crank the top in the opposite direction. With this lotion pump, you just turn it in the opposite direction and it is locked. That is very convenient for travel and for shipping. The tube is rather narrow, so you may have to pump a few more times initially to dispense the product. If you use this with the 2 oz plastic bottle, make sure to snip a little bit of the bottom.
