Examples include a consumer product comprising a box comprising a detergent product, a lid and a lock. The lid comprises flanks covering a specific portion of a specific sidewall of the box. The lock comprises a specific actuator moveable by pressure, the actuator being connected to the specific portion, the flanks comprising an actuation area facing the actuator and permitting displacing it by applying the pressure. A top panel of the box comprises an opening and a top panel section joining at least a part of the specific sidewall to at least a part of an opposite sidewall, the opposite sidewall being opposite to the specific sidewall. The specific actuation area defines a specific centroid separated from the top of the lid by less than 5 cm and by more than 0.5 cm, and from a distal end of the specific flank by more than 0.5 cm.
