Soap Foam Dispenser?

Hi, Just looking for a little help.

I've been refilling my soap foamers with diluted bath cream for years, for so long in fact that they've eventually died. :mad:

I've tried looking in the supermarket for replacements, I think they were childrens foamers originally, but I can't find them or any foamers for that matter anywhere. Has anyone seen any as I much prefer the foam to the liquid soap, it stops the children wasting it all, and it saves money, so it's win win win.:rotfl:

Thanks everyone.

    Hi, Not sure about foamers, but I use ceramic pump dispensers, (they look nicer than value cream bath bottles) :D

    I fill these with either value liquid soap or cream bath depending on whats on offer.

    They look like the usual liquid soap dispenser, but when you press the top a foamed handwash comes out. They're great, especially when you have small children who like to empty the liquid, as you only need to fill them about 1/5 full of soap and the rest is water, so they haven't wasted too much. I originally found them mentioned on an old thread on MSE, and was so impressed that I even used them at the kitchen sink (which the kids couldn't reach).

    Tescos have Johnsons Junior Easy Foaming hand and face wash 250ml for £1.36 and then you could re-fill the bottle.

    I've bought both Johnsons and Kandoo from Tesco. It's not with the normal handwash though it's with the kids bubble bath, on the nappy aisle.

    The Pampered Chef also sell them ;)
    They come with a replacement foamer head. Obviously they don't have foam in them to start with!

    Lakeland have a foam dispenser. You fill with a bit of soap and top up with water then every time you 'pump' air is mixed in to give foam.

    Have not personally used one but looks interesting!
