Ready to sue Aubrey Organics!

They know their conditioners are super thick yet they keep selling them in bottles instead of jars. Of course that leaves people like me who want every drop of the luscious conditioner out of the bottle (without diluting it with water) no choice but to saw open the bottle with a knife and end up cutting myself.:nono:

Yeah, it was sort of my fault (contributory negligence) but they have been on notice for years that the conditioners are too thick for bottles. New York is a comparative negligence state so I could still win:grin:

I wonder if a petition for change from bottles to jars would work since petitions seem to work for everything else these days?


***Before the flames start, no I would not file a frivolous lawsuit over cutting myself with a knife while sawing open a bottle of conditioner. It's my way to complain about the need to switch to jars.

Omgosh! I literally just used Aubrey and I was cussing that bottle out trying to get the last of my luscious conditioner! I had to go ahead and put a knife to it. I put the cut up bottle in the bottom of the trash...because I'm certain that my boyfriend will be looking like I have surely lost my mind...lol

But really they should be ashamed and definitely sued...got me going through all these loops.

:lol: I have no problem with cutting a bottle open. It's when they use the super thick plastic that I can't cut through that makes me want to start using colorful language that would make a sailor blush. :lachen:

I came in here ready to defend my Aubreys! But yeah, you're right, they need a jar. I would prefer a really large one at that. I cut my bottles open and squeeze my hands to the very bottom-- risking cuts on my dainty hands. Come on Aubrey.

See, everyone is cutting open the darn bottles! And they have the nerve to use thick plastic bottles too - the kind that you have to basically saw open.

I just add a little warm water and shake it up to get that last bit out. It's not that runny when I do it and still stays on my hair. I cannot be arsed to cut open a bottle in the middle of doing my hair lol

when I know i'm getting low I just sit the bottle upside down so the next time I use it, it falls right out and I would use some good heavy duty scissors before I use a knife, omg I can't stand the sight of blood!

Why don't you heffers just bombard the company with malicious emails, faxes, texts, and snail mail? Like ya'll did the heavenly Nioxin hair and nail vitamins; all because the pill had some cracks in them. See how that went. Taken off the market and what's left is selling for $200 bucks a pop. smh :nono:

LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

Before AO makes changes and charges $30 a jar.

Throw some water and oil in that bottle, shake and enjoy. :yep:

I'm too lazy to cut mine. I just turn it upside down and call it a day. I would be pissed if I cut myself trying to get my condish out of the bottle. However, it would be nice if they did put in in a jar. hmmm

When I used it I just left it upside down for a while and that got everything out.

I remember before someone phoned them up and asked them why don't they put it in jars. There's a thread about it. But then it was said that by dipping your fingers in there it will introduce bacteria and as the product has more natural ingredients than others that won't be good for the shelf life.

^^^What she said! It wouldn't last as long because of bacteria from your hands. It would be great if they could put it in more squeezable bottles, not such thick plastic. With that said, I just add water like empressri and keep it going, I don't want to complain cause I never want the company to change the product in the bottle, AO conditioners have been old faithful for me since 2006.

I'm going to try this since turning it upside down doesn't work. I have been storing my AO upside down for a while since it's so thick and hard to get out of the thick bottles.

That ish hurt!!!

:lachen: You cut it into about 3 pieces! Did you get it all? Lol, I feel your pain because I had been hanging on to 2 aohsr bottles that we're pretty much empty but I couldn't bring myself to throw away those precious drops. I should've cut them open but I eventually just threw them away. I need to buy more, by the case!

there's a few lines that do this. Some had jars and went to bottlex, I think Ubrey is afraid to change the look.

Yeah, 3 pieces since I couldn't squeeze my hand in far enough after cutting off the first section. I store the bottle upside down and figured all the conditioner that I could feel in the bottle was in the heck. I was totally wrong. I did get all of it though. :look:

I wish I could get a case, at a discount of course. Locally it's $11.19 per 11 oz bottle at Fairway. I think it's $11.49 per bottle at Wholefoods. I have heard it's $8.99 per bottle at Vitamin Shoppe but not every Vitamin Shoppe carries it.

If you are willing to get a case, then sign up for vitamin shoppe online and get that 10% to 15% discount or wait until it goes on sell and buy in bulk. They ship free for over $25. Even if you buy 3 at a time you can save a bit.

Also Vitacost has sells on this product quite often, as low as $7.

I store my bottles upside down. It still doesn't get everything out. So I add water at the end and I really get a nice cowash with it.

Some other things you can do is place your bottle in some hot water. It will loosen it up. and if you are in a hurry zap it in the microwave for a few seconds. This will loosen the product up without diluting it. I have a mini crockpot in my bathroom. I put water in it, then place by bottle in it before I start my wash process. Works wonders.

That's a good point about the bacteria issue. Particularly if they are foregoing a full spectrum, proper preservative to appeal to people who prioritize having natural products over safer ones. Dirty fingers and shower water can cause bacterial havoc in products that are not properly preserved.

I cut up a few bottles in the beginning, but have decided to just add distilled water, shake and use quickly - because adding water and other stuff to products changes the ingredients and the preservative used by the manufacturer may no longer work because the product was not formulated for that.

That would give me all kinds of sads... I didn't know about the Nioxin thing!

I just leave it in the shower upside down. All that steam helps it slide right out for me. I can't *** with knives, I'm a klutz.
