As a beauty blogger I am surrounded by tubes of products and one thing which really annoys me, grinds my gears and other such phrases, is when you get to that point in the tube where no amount of squeezing is going to get you absolutely anywhere other than angered! Well, there is one gadget that I have been playing with for the last few weeks which comes to your rescue, before you need to reach for the scissors and that is the Squidger.
The Squidger is described as being the tool which "removes the frustration of getting that last annoying bit out of your tubes of cosmetics, moisturisers, cleansers or toothpaste - saving your pocket and the planet at the same time". Infact, the Squidger can extract up to 20% more out of your tubes if used correctly.
It took three years to come together and perfect and is designed to fit most 75-150ml tubes but with a bit of practice you can use it on bigger and smaller tubes. I did find it a bit fiddly when I first used the device, so it is worth practising the 'squeeze' on a tube to get the hang of it. Made of a hard plastic, the Squidger is available in 4 colours - Pink, White, Blue and Purple and it looks like this:
To get the hand of using this Squidger, I slid it on and off my toothpaste tube and then followed the handy little guide shown on the back of the cardboard packaging to get the most out of using it.

What I love about this tool is that it is so easy to use and when you use it for the first time, you want to gather up all your tubes of products and just squeeze the life out of them, something so simple yet so genius, leaves you wondering why you hadn't invented it and how you have gone for so long without it. Some might see it as a bit of a gimmick, but it does help to get the very last bits out of that tube and you just never know when you might need that last drop!
Priced at just £4.99 you can find the Squidger right here.

That's such a clever piece of kit! I've been trying to get the last bits of my primer out of the tube and every time I use it it's the same palaver! Would love to try that!
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm ordering 2! Maybe 3...or 4. I've got to think about my toothpaste here which costs nearly a £10 and then there's the primer, moisturiser, foundation. Thanks for posting about this. xx

This is actually genius - and so much better than cutting the tubes because it still stays closed up! Need to hunt this down for myself.
