    The cabin is usually pressurized to the equivalent of 8000 ft asl. So the dispenser does have to deal with pressure changes. A simple vent hole aught to take care of that though.

      Also, as the safety briefing says, “we do not anticipate a change in cabin pressure,” but if a rapid decompression should occur, there was probably some provision made so that the soap dispenser doesn’t just shatter or explode or something.

        I would hate not to be able to use the dispenser if the plane lost cabin pressure… how would I ever survive dying if I had dirty hands when it happened?..

          Slippery soap all over the floor would complicate matters.

            well, then there is no need for the masks that drop down either then? I was making a joke, no need to be so serious? 🙂
