I recently picked up my latest lot of Oestrogel and the pumps are totally different...they are in a slightly smaller box and look more like an aerosol shape. I am currently using 2.5 pumps per day but am a bit concerned that I'm not going to be able to get a half pump from this new design as it is a lot smaller and looks like it only pushes down about half an inch. I haven't tried yet as I still have a bottle left of the old style, and the new ones have a plastic seal,  but wondered if anyone else has seen/used this new style?

Hi Besins put out a notification saying that they are using up old bottles to meet the demand for the gel. x

So, maybe this us just temporary and these are old bottles rather than new..?
Maybe I'll have to open one of my new batch and use it for the 2 full pumps, and get my half pump out of my previous bottle..and hopefully they will switch back to the other bottles again!

I used the old style bottles a few years ago and used 3.5 pumps. x

This is what Besins said about the bottles :

We are currently holding sufficient stock of Oestrogel.
(0.06% w/w)) Pump-pack We have recently introduced an additional bottle into
the UK. The new bottle is cylindrical in shape with a
white lid compared to the existing bottle that is conical
in shape with a blue lid. It is only the bottle shape that
has changed. The rest of the product remains the same.
