Maybe I&#8217;ve just got a duff can, but there are two major defects in the cans as far as I can see. First, the lockable section has an annoying habit of rising back up as you&#8217;re using it sending the spray into the cap and not onto your body. Second, my can at least has now developed a fault and the spray&#8217;s mostly going into the cap even with it fully open, and then trickles down the side of the can and onto my hands. Again, not onto my body.<br \/>\nAs I say, my can might just be faulty &#8211; I bought it in multibuy offer at Boots, so we&#8217;ll see how the next can works &#8211; but it strikes me as poorly thought through.
