We are currently in a silly situation when dealing with refillable products for home, and I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas.

If I wanted shower gel (for example), all the refillable locations require a bottle with the capacity printed on it, and for it to be empty. And basically I don’t want to wait until my shower gel is out completely before getting any more, so I would want an intermediate container however I cannot find a 1l bottle that has the capacity embossed on it so that I can take it to the refill station, and bring it home. I really don’t want to buy another small plastic bottle with the capacity on a paper label that does one refill of the gel, and would have to be replaced when the label comes off.

        Hmm I might’ve been overambitious. Searching “glass water bottle with measurements” gets a few Amazon results but so many of them have “motivational” time labels but no ml markings…

        There are quite a few listings for chemistry reagent type containers, too, which could maybe work?

        The best thing I’ve found is this from Dunelm might be what you’re after?

          Yeah, thanks but it doesn’t appear to have the capacity printed on it.

          I’ll resume my search.
