Sometimes, even the slightest twisting and turning can be extremely painful.
A new tube of toothpaste resulted in a Eureka! moment. Have you noticed how flip-top caps are both easier and quicker to use?
I discovered that those caps are interchangeable - more often than not, the cap will fit onto a screw-top tube of toothpaste.
So, if you're getting frustrated with a screw-cap, don't flip your lid, flip a top!
That’s a great idea, Marianna 🙂
It also reminds me how annoying and difficult it can be to open prescription bottles (or at least they are here in the U.S. when they are child-proof). I really should take the time and let the pharmacy know that my kids are past that young age so that I can have non child-proof caps and not have to press so hard plus twisting in order to open the tops!
Hi Dorlee,
Those prescription bottles are child-proofed here, too.
My pharmacy has it on file that I’d like those chubby bottles with the easy-off caps – http://rheumfuloftips.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/all-you-gotta-do-is-ask/.
(I don’t know if you had a chance to read Chanone’s comment on that post. Are you familiar with the bottles she’s talking about?)
Thanks for stopping by and advancing the posts!
