Moreover, since the squeezing force required to further deform the bottle generally increases smoothly upon increasing deformation, there is no clear indication to the user how much liquid is dispensed in one squeeze, so that the dispensed volume is likely to vary considerably from actuation to actuation. Thus, it is generally hard to consistently dose the liquid, when using such a bottle.
