It needs a tube with a curved end that lies on the bottom near one end/ edge/ corner then you could beat the last of the product down towards the tube end.

Surely it's easier to take the lid and tube off, do the same with the new one (that's been used a few times), put the old one upside down on the new one and let the contents drip into the new one. It's what I do anyway.

That's usually what I do, at least with the soap and other liquids. Lotion requires more effort, banging the bottle sideways, to get it off the bottom, then knocking the neck sharply downwards into your hand to get the last out. ..... Did I ever mention I am from Yorkshire?

That's not how I see gravity working where you are at all.

Upside down is upside down regardless of whether you yourself are upside down.

Thank his noodliness for screw cap tops. Remove cap, pour fluid into replacement, pennies saved
My missus thinks I'm nuts for piercing a small hole in the bottom of washing detergent bottles and draining the remaining fluid into the cap (as the design of the top restricts the emptying of the bottle)... I can usually fill the cap enough for a full wash load, what I can't understand is why a person wouldn't???

If you're using a giant bottle of detergent, with separate valve and vent cap, it drains better through the vent cap hole.

Like the old cartons of friut juice - having to pierce a second hole so the juice pours out of the pouring hole.

I use powder in my washing machine, so that's one thing I can actually get every last drop of

Already in use for Hellman's mayonnaise squeezy bottles in the UK. It works well at bringing it all down to the bottom, but the poor design of the bottle shape that means you still have to take off the lid and use a finger flexible kitchen do-dah to sweep round and get out the last serving or two gathering at the bottom.

I do the same. I also cut tubes of lotion etc in half...it's surprising how much is left inside an 'empty' tube.
