Filling with a solution that is too hot can warp the plastic & damage the mechanisms. Containers are not "water tight", so pouring too hot can also cause leaking (until the formulation solidifies). Compatibility testing is always recommended. Set includes natural round twist-up tube w/screw-on cap. 2 oz (57g) capacity Polypropylene. #5 Recyclable BPA Free (Product is not manufactured with BPA, BPS, DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, DNOP, PFOA, PFOS, PVC, HIPS Mercury or Lead) HEIGHT W/OUT CAP: 4" HEIGHT W/CAP: 5" DIAMETER: 1.5" LABEL AREA AROUND CONTAINER: 5" LABEL AREA HEIGHT: 3" COMPATIBLE LABEL SIZES: 4x2, 2.75x2.75, 2x2, 1.67" Circle, 2.5" Circle (1x2.625 or .5x1.75 will also work, but are very small compared to size of container) Please note that container has a slight taper, so labels larger than those recommended will need to be tested.

Good containers, but can be finicky.
Although I LOVE these, there are a few tips I have. I learned the hard way. Perhaps theses are well known tips, but if not, pay close attention. When making your own deodorant, make sure you let the deodorant thicken slight BEFORE you pour it into these containers. Otherwise, the containers might leak. I had a few leak. Also, if you let your deodorant harden in the refrigerator (after you pour them in these containers), make sure you let them get back to room temperature BEFORE you attempt to twist them. I broke one this way. Other than those two things, they've been great! Now that I know the tricks, I think I'll have better luck next time. :)

They all worked for me
All of these containers worked for me. We put straight beeswax in one as a conditioner for our cast iron cookware, and a homemade moisturizing balm in the others. I didn't pour the liquid from boiling into the canisters, I took the liquid off the heat, and stirred it constantly for a few minutes until it didn't look like boiling liquid, but more closer to {melted chocolate or milk} still hot enough to be liquid, bit not run through the tubes.I don't know where the hate comes from, but beeswax is one of the healthiest things in the world- and it is naturally made by bees. Naturally, it is a non irritant, cleans the air when burned, and helps with illness. If it wax is causing problems, I suggest finding unfiltered stuff, as the filtered stuff could contain bleaching chemicals to make it clear or white. Beeswax is amazing. Science cant even figure how it is made. I can go on and on about how good it is for you, but I wont. I am a beekeeper so I am totally bias in the subject.Anyway these tubes were spectacular. They did not leak and the caps screw on and off easily. The inner mechanism works well and is easy enough for my toddler to use. I am very pleased and will be purchasing them again.

Good for ARKO shave soap sticks
Purchased for the pictured use, my ARKO shave sticks, and it meets that need well. I read in another review to take your ARKO stick out of the wrapper, stick a meat thermometer into it to get a hole going, and then place in the container. It worked easily and well. So, it gets 5 stars from me for my intended use. Please note that some other shave sticks, like Tabac have too large a diameter to fit in this container.

Fine for shave sticks
These work fine for putting shave soap into a convenient carrying package. The screw mechanism in not strong and could break if used carelessly or roughly. I have put two different purchased shave sticks (Arko and Palmolive) into them and they work fine. I have also put a shave soap puck into one after grating it for easy insertion. It also works fine. They are very convenient for travel, band work well for me for daily use.. Works very well for face lathering. A little messier for bowl lathering as loading the brush can be messy. (Loading upside down works best.)I would not recommend for thin liquids or creams as they are not sealed tightly around the base.I do recommend the containers if you take reasonable care and recognize their limitations.

Better deodorant
These are awesome! Better than the regular deodorant shaped ones that scratch your skin with the sharp edges. When my deodorant set, I had a little trouble getting it to move up that first time. I just ran it under hot water for a min or so and pushed the twist bottom in as I twisted it (as it was threatening to pop off from the pressure of trying to push my thick, viscous deodorant up) and it worked beautifully. They all now move easily up and down with no problem. I've been using them for months and have had zero leakage or problems. Very satisfied.

Work perfectly for homemade deodorant!
I was a bit hesitant to buy these after reading a few reviews that they leak or break. Well, I tried them out today with my homemade deodorant, and they worked perfectly! A couple helpful tips: Let your deodorant/product cool for a few minutes before pouring into the containers. I did this and had no issues with leaking. Then, wait until the containers are just slightly warm to the touch (mostly cooled) and then twist the bottom. If the product is too cold or there is too high of a percentage of beeswax or coconut oil, the twist mechanism is likely to break.Great results, will definitely buy again!

Nice look, works great.
Purchased these to make some homemade lotion sticks with beeswax, coconut oil, and essential oils. So far, it has worked great and I've had no complaints. These filled easily with no leaking problems and are working well so far. I like that the cap is secure with a screw-top and I like the look of the container itself with the round shape and slight opacity. The containers are nice and durable, as well. I'd say these get their fair share of abuse since my kids often handle them or they get buried in my backpack, and they are all still intact.

Very Helpful with Arko Shaving Soap
I have purchased this item a couple of times to have my Arko Shaving Soap Stick (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DKHX8QP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1) handy in different bags (gym, travel, etc.). It works very well and makes using the shaving soap very easy and comfortable.
