pebbles Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've been debating over which size tube to get and need advice/opinions from anyone. I've thought about the .75oz propel tubes cause they're small & can be tossed into a bag. I'm also torn on the 1oz push up tubes cause it's a little bigger, but not too fond of it being a push up cause the entire lotion can be pushed out...I know from experience. LOL! Then, I've also thought about the .5oz tubes, but thought they might be too small for a lotion bar. I know Elements has the 2oz size, but that's too big for a "to-go" size. Maybe more of a "at-home" size.Any thoughts on any of this? What size sells good for you?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I don't sell, but even as gifts I get complaints on the push-up tubes (my sister calls them rocket launchers). I would avoid those PERIOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbles Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 LOL @ rocket launchers. Ok, no to the 1oz push-ups. Are there any other kind of 1oz tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellydaniel Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I don't think I have seen another type 1 oz tube. I got a 0.75 oz one in a swap and I think it's too thin for body application. It took forever to cover my entire body. I prefer wider tubes because of this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbles Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hmmm...ok, maybe like a deodorant tube?Ok, how about 2 sizes? the bigger 2oz from elements & the .75oz for purse/bag use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singleyellowrose Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It takes FOREVER to use up the 2oz ones and they didn't sell that well for me. If/When I decide to do solid lotion bars again, I will put them in the .75oz deodorant tubes and make them more body specific as opposed to all over.ETA: It will still be a good price for the size but since it will take 1/2 the time to use up, they will be back for more sooner!

Ann M Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I really like the .5 oz that Elements sells. I used to use the 1 oz push ups, but the push up feature caused too many problems. I really like the .5 oz size since it truly can be used up. Even the 1 oz took forever to use. Most of my customers really like the nice small size of the .5 oz.Ann M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homemadecookie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I like the .75 oz ones, they fit great in your purse! Just got some from here www.thesage.com/catalog/UniqueItems.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbles Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks so much everyone!!! I think I'll do the .75oz ones for the lotion bars & the .5oz ones for mega lip balms (still have the .15oz, too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I like the .75 oz ones, they fit great in your purse! Just got some from here www.thesage.com/catalog/UniqueItems.htmlI think bayousome.com is also selling them. Seems $60 was a little too much for 100 ct. Interesting on the push up tubes. Was thinking I'd like to carry the travel deodorant tubes in this, but haven't really found them (and haven't looked or price shopped either.)

pebbles Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Well, bayousome has 100 for $66. A little more. I'll check out deod. tubes, too, cause $60 is a little much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
