Refilling Toothpaste Pump?

Has anyone found a way to refill the upright toothpaste pumps yet?
I got 12 normal tubes of Colgate from Poundstretcher but I prefer the pumps, was wondering if there was any way to get the toothpaste into the empty pump?

It's ok, but what would have been more cranky would have been the reverse, "how do I refill toothpaste tubes??":D:DI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

Unless you can (obviously) dismantle, clean and refil your pump, I think you might be best advised to have rethink.
Obviously, any toothpaste bought in a tube produces waste and cost so no MSE angle there, on the face of it. If you prefer (more expensive?) pump dispensing to squeezing a tube then there is a potential cost saving if you can put cheaper (tube) toothpaste into a pump delivery system, which is what you're after I think.
Liquid soap comes in pump action containers. Once you have an empty one don't throw it out. See if the pump is capable of sucking up toothpaste. If it can (and can be thoroughly cleaned!!) I think you might be in business.
Might be worth a go.0
