When you have severe stiffness or pain in your hands, it can be nearly impossible to grip that tube of toothpaste, ointment, lotion, etc. from the bottom and squeeze out from the top. This device allows you to simply place the tube inside the Squeezer, then it pushes the toothpaste out when the user applies pressure to the tab with the palm of their hand. These devices can be used on various types of tubes (other lotions or ointments) and are usually made to fit any size. This makes disposing of the tube simple, and there is very little wasted contents of the tube because it does a great job at dispensing most of the product out.
