    Curious!! How much do the refill cost?
    I wonder if people tried to refill it with something else, like other brands of soap or even supermarket own brand? I think you can pretty much put anything there, it'll still work. ( At least I think so, never tried!)
    If you feel my post has been useful, " merci" would not go amiss.

    If you look on youtube there is a video showing you how to refull using any shampoo or hand wash a lot are putting in the baby bath in tesco at 8p,i think the refills are about £2.99 so worth doing.

    Still don't get it - you are washing your hands after you touch any soap dispenser so where's the benefit???
