Old People Have Allergies Too
I just acquired a new allergy, lucky me. Since I am a Tide user I looked to Tide for a sensitive skin detergent and found this. It arrived. I got out my walker and made my way to the laundry room with one hand on the walker and the other hand carrying this detergent. It was awkward.
I got there and couldn't get the lid off. With my current Tide container I just snap off the lid, grab a pod, and snap the lid back on. I ended up having to grab the walker, the Tide, some tools and after making several trips I found a place to get to work. Since pushing the tabs and turning was more than my hands could do I ended up taking the claws of a hammer to pry off the lid. I then took some utility scissors and cut the tabs off disarming the container. Now the container has a lid that will snap on and off.
If I was a young mother with young children maybe I would appreciate a product I can't get into. But I'm old with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I thought companies were starting to offer containers for young people and containers for old people. Nowhere on this website did it say anything about this being a child-proof product.
Does this product work? Don't know, I used up all my energy trying to break into it.
