What is that little rubber tab underneath the cap? My husband removed it now I can't push it back in..The bottle still works .wondering!

Its a valve to let air in while you suck on the straw. Equalizes pressure in the bottle. The silicone tab helps keep the bottle from spilling. It will still work fine of course but will no longer be spill proof if removed.

I use this bottle daily. I bought a bottle brush and clean it regularly with dish soap and water. Also, the rubber sleeve will slide off/on with soapy water. If there's a smell, it may be coming from the sleeve. Soak the cap in warm, soapy water and rinse with cold. If it continues to have a smell, contact the manufacturer.

Press down on the upturned side of the green plastic above the bottle. At the same time, pull the bottle from the front. It will only release the bottle, not "pop" it out.

The screw cap is interchangeable with a Nalgene 1-qt bottle. Inside diameter of the throat may be a bit narrower.With the way the entire top comes off, I'm wondering why this would be an issue at all?

you are lucky Amanda because I have a 6 year old granddaughter who demonstrated to open and close the bottle with no complication. Basically click to open and press the cap to close. Don't forget there is an extra lock aside so make sure your girl realize that. I hope this help.....thanks

The clear plastic cap over the nipple should fit tightly enough that you need to apply a little force to remove it. There is the yellow cap that goes on what would be the bottle end to keep it clean and sanitary on mine I never felt that yellow cap stayed on as well as it should. Unfortunately I only have one of these (didn't work for my baby) so I would say if the clear plastic cap is falling off it is likely damaged.

The bottle doesn't squeeze very easily. With mine if you squeeze it the water can come out around the o - ring. Been like that since I got it. Long to short. I'd say no.

It is in a plastic bottle, you just twist off cap, you'll see a white pull tab thing. Pull hard, if it breaks just poke hole in it.

Might be that there is a plastic cap holder so the cap can be allowed to flop while you are drinking. I know the Mrs' has one and mine doesn't. It's not uncommon for the pictures to be "forgotten" to be updated. Double check the oz size? Not 100% aware of an "updated" version.

When I open the cap, there is a white funnel shaped insert on top of the bottle that narrows the opening of the bottle with a lip that prevents dripping. The insert however does not pop up.

Hey Jen,I just bought another bottle couple of days ago. The cap is sealed and underneath the cap is sealed as well. I would contact the seller. I would NOT use it. It MUST be sealed. Hope this helps.

My little cap broke after a few years. I just went through my cupboards and found a cap the same size on some random old water bottle that worked. You can also buy replacements on Amazon, and I am sure elsewhere, but the shipping will cost more than the cap.

Try putting the bottle head down in a small glass of really hot water, just cover the cap, not the whole bottle. Or try pouring acetone around the opening of the bottle.

The bottle has a foil seal. Don't remove it. Just poke a tiny hole in the center with a pin, and it works really well. Another thing I might do is transfer some into a small travel-size bottle...hopefully one with closeable spout. Way easier to handle! Hope that helps.

I had the same experience! The outside seal was unbroken, but the one under the cap was loose. Very disturbing.

Make sure you unscrew it all the way to loosen it before you mount it onto your bottle.Don't over tighten it. It just needs to be snug.

Yes, there is a plastic insert that looks like a smooth little volcano with a hole in the top. It was stuck in the lid, and I didn't even know what it was for until I saw your question. I pried it out with a pair of scissors, and what do you know? It fits in the mouth of the bottle, with a small hole in the center. It looks like you might have to hold it on, unless there's another essential oil dispensing secret that I don't know!
