5 vials
Bacteriostatic water, 5 × 10ml vial
Five sealed 10ml vials in one pack. This is the quantity most people settle on after their first order: enough that you are not re-ordering constantly, small enough that every vial gets used well inside its in-use window.
Who it suits: The standing repeat order — ongoing work at a steady, modest rate of use.

Why five is the one most people come back for
It is the smallest pack where the per-vial price drops meaningfully against buying singly, and it is small enough that the vials do not sit around. Past this point you are buying on price rather than on need.
Buying five does not extend anything
The in-use window applies to each vial from its own first puncture, not to the pack as a whole. Five vials is five separate windows, each starting whenever you start it — which is why pack size and shelf life are independent decisions.
What this pack saves
Against buying 5 vials one at a time, at today’s single-vial price of £5.99.

Buying 10 vials instead works out at £3.50 a vial against £4.40 here — £0.90 less on every vial. If the exact number of vials is not fixed for you, that is the better buy, and we would rather say so than let you find out afterwards.

Questions about this pack
Asked about this quantity specifically. The general questions about the product are on the FAQ page.
- How much cheaper is the 5-pack than buying five singles?
- Five vials bought one at a time would be £29.95. This pack is £21.99, a saving of £7.96 (27%). That is arithmetic against today's single-vial price, not a promotion.
- How much water is in a 5-pack?
- 50ml across 5 sealed vials, which is 50 draws at 1ml.
- Can I order more than one 5-pack?
- Yes, up to 10 packs in a single order, which is 50 vials. Beyond that the bulk page is the right place to start.
- Do all five vials have to be opened at once?
- No. Each vial is sealed separately and only starts its in-use window when it is first punctured. Unopened vials are unaffected by the ones beside them.
