A pump dispenser has a large ergonomic actuator designed to ergonomically deliver a composition to a substrate in the consumer's hand without the consumer having to pick up the pump dispenser. The ergonomic design allows the composition to be delivered in a proper aspect ratio to the substrate. The composition can be delivered in such a way that the composition is not aerosolized into the air or delivered to an unintended surface. The method of delivery can be made intuitive to the consumer by providing an actuator skirt that suggests the pumping mechanism or by providing a depiction of a hand or substrate over the pump dispenser. The pump dispenser is also useful for compositions or substrates that are not stable together.

What is claimed is: 1. An inside volume system for distributing fluid from a container, the system comprising: a pump having an inside volume compressible to a reduced volume and expandable to a resting volume; a dip tube for fluidly communicating a fluid in the container to the inside volume; an actuator having an actuator top and an actuator top surface and a plurality of orifices in the actuator top surface fluidly connected to the inside volume to permit liquid flow to the actuator top surface upon reciprocation of the actuator top; the actuator having an actuator skirt coupled to the actuator top and depending downwardly from the peripheral edge of the actuator top wherein the skirt exterior surface of the actuator skirt is slideably engagable with an interior surface of the container; and the actuator having a flexible layer overlaying the actuator top surface covering the plurality of orifices and at least one of slits or holes formed in the flexible layer, wherein the slits or holes are not formed directly over the plurality of orifices.
