Mainstays Clear Plastic Soap Dispenser vs Pump Bottle

Buy the Mainstays set if you want several sinks covered and a clear body that shows when to refill. Buy the Pump Bottle if you need one small, sealed bottle that travels without leaking. The Mainstays pumps are basic plastic with no lock and no stated pump dose; the Pump Bottle locks with a twist and holds about 4 fl oz. Owners of small locking pumps like this value the leak protection for bags and drawers, while the Mainstays set is judged on how many sinks it covers.

  • Choose the Mainstays dispenser if you want three clear pumps to place at multiple sinks and refill less often.
  • Choose the Pump Bottle if you want one compact bottle with a locking pump for travel, a bag or a small shelf.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bathroom sink?
The Mainstays dispenser. Its 10 oz body holds more soap and the clear plastic shows the level. The Pump Bottle is small and better suited to a shelf or bag.
Which one is better for travel?
The Pump Bottle. Its twist-lock pump prevents accidental pushes, and the light HDPE bottle travels well. The Mainstays pump has no lock.
Can the Pump Bottle hold hand soap?
Yes, but its small pump dose suits thin liquids. Thick soap may pump slowly, so test it before relying on it at a sink.
Which lasts longer between refills?
The Mainstays dispenser. At 10 oz it holds more than twice the Pump Bottle's 4 fl oz, so it needs refilling less often.
Is the Mainstays set worth it over one bottle?
If you have more than one sink, yes. Three pumps let you place one at each sink and keep a spare. For a single spot or travel, the Pump Bottle is the better pick.
