I use shampoo from a large bottle with a pump. The pump can't get the last bit out of the bottle.

I cut apart the pumps from two shampoo bottles and epoxied the caps together to make an adapter. I'm going to use it to attach the old bottle to the new bottle and drain the remainder out.

In use the tube points down into the new bottle.

It does not have a hole, but the tube is pretty wide.

I had thought about providing a way for air to pass into the upper bottle, but I decided it probably isn't necessary.

My expectation is that the shampoo is thick enough to cling to the inside of the tube as it drains down, and thin enough to leave space for air to pass up through the center of the tube.

It's getting it's first use today. I'll leave the old bottle draining into the new one until tomorrow morning, so even if it has to do the glug-glug thing, it should still successfully drain completely.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
