Mainstays Clear Plastic Soap Dispenser vs 16 oz Plastic Pump Bottle

Buy the Mainstays set if you want several sinks covered at once and don't mind plastic pumps that wear out. Buy the Refill Shoppe 16 oz bottle if you want one larger, sturdier bottle that holds more soap and can take thicker liquids like shower gel or dish concentrate. The Mainstays pumps are basic and thin-walled; owners of this type report the pump mechanism failing before the body does. The Refill Shoppe bottle is BPA-free and built to last years, but you get one bottle, not three.

• Choose the Mainstays dispenser if you need soap at two or three sinks and want a clear body so you can see the level.
• Choose the Refill Shoppe 16 oz bottle if you want one bigger, tougher pump that handles thick liquids and lives in a shower or busy kitchen.
