New packaging for smol laundry capsules - can you open them?

[Anniemcc2]

Decided to re-new my subscription for smol's laundry capsules and dishwasher tablets. Three packages were delivered this weekend.

BUT they've changed the packaging to make them child-proof. Not only are they now child proof, they are also now adult proof!
There was no way I could open them with my arthritic weakened hands and wrists. The first one ended up being torn open.

Does anyone else use smol and have this problem and found a way to open these packages?

Same here. My difficulties are a bit different from yours as mine are that my brain injury means I cannot follow instructions in the right order.

I gave up and ripped my package open. This means the pods are left in full view and not at all child proof

If I still had children I would have to empty the box and store the pods in a different container

That's what I do anyway but this new packaging has me defeated.

I had trouble opening the old package then when the packaging changed I just gave up trying.

I'm going to have to email them with this issue

I was not familiar with SMOL until I read your posts, so Googled and subsequently ordered laundry capsules.
This issue has been raised in their reviews, but I shall also email if opening proves difficult.

I like that I don't have to add conditioner. Also a blooming sight less expensive that some of the big brand eco-friendly versions.

I am off to look at the reviews now
