Pur-Sleep - what am I doing wrong

Post by dream_weaver » Fri Oct 12, 2007 12:57 am

Hi:

I love Pur-Sleep and bought 6 bottles. I use 2 drops a night.
Now all the bottles seem to be empty.

Am I not tilting them the right way. I am mystified because i thought they would last a long time. I spent a lot of money a few months ago and I cannot believe they all could be empty.

Any ideas on how i can get the drops out again.

thanks

I have had a couple of bottles which went very quickly too. I think that they evaporate very quickly if not tightly closed. I am able to see through all but one of the bottles help up to the light to see whether they are indeed empty.

They are after all doing what they are supposed to do changing from liquid to vapor. Just have to keep them sealed up.

Definitely hold them up to the light to make sure they are empty. My bottle of Peace I've had for months has taken to not clogging at the tip for some reason. I have to blow down the tube to get it to come out. I've held it up and it's NOT empty.

Also, DEFINE TWO DROPS! Are you SURE you're not POURING it on?

Do tighten caps well, and make sure there is NO SUNLIGHT HITTING THEM ALL DAY LONG. My room is kept dark all day and night, so my bottles are lasting me a long time. If you let sunlight hit these bottles, you're going to lose them faster.

If that's the case, maybe find a nice light-tight box you can put them in, like a drawer or a jewelry box or something.

Cheers,
Babs

Had the problem also. Took out the stopper and used a hyppodermic syringe to suck out the liquid. Still had a couple of weeks worth in there after I could not get it to drop.
