User questions & answers

Question:	Is a 2 pack 2 tubes? Or is it 4 tubes all together? A 2 pack costs more than twice a single tube but the description of what a 2 pack is is unclear
Answer:	I would contact the company directly and see if they can send you another rubber stopper. As far as the bottle you can use any water bottle. I think you meant you threw the stopper out with the bottle.
