make sure to pump for continuous spray [SEP] i wanted to get a bottle like this to use for homemade hydrating mists for my face or moisten my hair for treatments there are not any instructions other than to clear the tube in case it gets stuck it says it is a continuous spray and through a brief trial and error i discovered you pump the handle to prime the spraying mechanism and that makes it basically a continuous spray the pump is really easy to operate you can easily squeeze it with one finger when you put the top back on you have to push it down and then it is just like a half or quarter turn to keep it on one of the questions was would i take it when i travel and it is a little too bulky to bring it with on all trips if i think i would need it or have tons of room in my suitcase maybe
