Boots Soltan Roll On Suncream

AIBU or are these little pots just not fit for purpose?! I’ve bought 6 and am currently using them on holiday - well I saying using them - we’ve had to pop the roller out of them all as the roller ball either doesn’t move when trying to roll it on skin or dispenses the smallest bit of cream before becoming stuck again. What’s the secret to getting these to work - am I missing something or are the balks just too big for the pot?! I don’t have this problem with my roll on deodorant 🙃

I thought I was going mad but I’ve noticed this this year! I always buy them for my kids school bags but they’ve been struggling to work them this year. Wonder have they changed the size slightly

We’re still using last years and can’t say I’ve noticed problems! I shake them hard to start and wipe quite hard on say a forearm to get it going before doing faces etc

Yeh I didn’t have this problem with them last summer but the ones we bought to take away in December last year and these current ones are just awful! Could be a change in size slightly then

Thank you! I think I’ll have to resort to these from now on!

On holiday just now. Bought 2 for coming. Not impressed by them at all.😐
