| We were given the 1.25 oz and 2 oz sizes as a gift. They are easy to fill and I really like the grippy, nonslip material they're made of--feels good in your hand, although it also collects lint and cat hair (no worries, that stuff washes right off with water). They come in tasteful pastel shades--very cool, sleek design. So far I have used them for hair cream and lotion. They have little selector dials on them so you can label the contents, but there's just six options (limited space for print), so you may have to get creative. Also, make sure you loosen the cap before trying to turn the selector dial, or else it won't turn! The big size has a suction cup on it to stick it to the shower wall--works much better than we expected it to. The little size holds about a weekend trip's worth of shampoo/conditioner etc. and is nice and light for backpackers. Oh, one other thing: make sure you squeeze gently or the cream will shoot out like ketchup from a bottle. That's because of the watertight seal they used; these do not seem to leak at all. Haven't tried to clean out one yet, but the opening is wide enough that it shouldn't be hard to rinse it out. Overall, great product. | |

Well done, and well worth it. | |

| I recently picked up a few of these and I have to say, they're frickin' great. They're soft so it's super easy to squeeze out the contents, and there's a cool valve at the tip that shuts off the flow as soon as you stop squeezeing. I've always hated how my previous travel containers get mucked up with gunk at the opening, and this valve seems to really stop that. So far they seem totally leakproof. I also love the large opening - easy to pour stuff in. I wish it came in some larger sizes. Oh, and I tried it with toothpaste - it works, but it's kinda hard to get out the last bit - these tubes seem to work better with less thick liquids like shampoo and soap. They're a little pricey, but I'm totally sold. | |

I Agree- "[*]great' | |

| I use the GoToob for most of the advertised functions- to carry shampoo, lotion, etc., and I also use it to carry vitamins or cold capsules around in my purse, or to take on a trip. I never tried toothpaste in it, but I think I will on my next trip. The seal is great, the size is perfect, the suction is good for my "less than a week" purposes. I got this as a gift, which I thought was a little strange, but now that I've used it, I plan to give some GoToobs as stocking stuffers this Christmas. | |

Nice but needs more capacity | |
| Rating: | |
| Holds my bodywash/shampoo. Use it in the shower after my workouts. Stays put when I moisten the suction cup and attach it to the wall. One touch on the dimple is all that is needed to dispense the soap. Feels nice, too. Downside is the capacity. A filled tube lasts an average of 3 days. Not good if you are planning a trip lasting one week or longer. For [$] might be too expensive to justify the cost considering larger capacity containers cost around $6 cheaper. | |

Really good product that could be great! | |

| A great idea, well executed. So many positive attributes: easy to fill, no leaks, compact, won't explode in your luggage due to air pressure changes. Cap needs to be more robust: it can break if you drop it on a hard surface. Price is intimidating if you've never used one. I broke one cap, but it still doesn't leak. I'm going to order two more right now. | |

| The capacity is fine for a one week trip for me- the squishy feel is good. I just wish the cap had been designed to be more secure. A weeks worth of soap in my ziplock after day one of a trek was not cool. If kept in a container that minimizes squashing, this bottle works ok- if left in a position vulnerable to squishing against other bottles or the side of the pack- look out. For my outdoor pursuits I'm headed toward other, more secure bottles...for travel in a piece of luggage I'd still trust this bottle. I think the suction cup is ok for a minute in the shower, but not much more than a quick break. My wife just shouted out that hers leaked in the luggage on the way to the trek- so we're both pretty cool to the product. | |

Breaks easily; limited use. | |

| Bought two of these to take on a 3.5-month backpacking trip, and neither lasted more than a week. Both broke the same way: dropped on the floor of the shower by accident or because the suction failed, and the cap cracked. After they broke, I ended up just buying small bottles of shampoo and body wash, and never missed them. | |

tube fell apart on two of them | |

| After some use the cap no longer is keeping the flexible tube contained. So when you squeeze, the cap poops off (not just the lid, the whole cap assembly). | |

| Please, don't get me wrong. I really like this product and I think that it is definitely on the right track, as I've put a lot of thought and effort searching for something similar. Look at the list of "Pros" (to which I added many). But, it does have at least one CRITICAL flaw, and frankly for the asking price I would expect a bit more. The "squishy" design is great, sized perfectly for TSA travel, and conveniently one-hand opening for easy deployment. I love the built in suction cup. Also, the bottle is easily washable and refillable, a big plus. The problem with this product is the obvious "weak point"... the thin plastic hinge joint on the cap. It will be the first thing that will break even with careful repeated use. Now, it wouldn't be such an issue if the product was more modestly priced, or perhaps if the product came filled with something already. For example, REI sells a nice SPF 15 Sunblock in a similar 2 oz squeezeable bottle for [$]So, all I'm saying is, if cost is no object, by all means buy this excellent product and get whatever use you can get from it while it lasts. | |

Poor Suction = Easily Breakable Cap | |
| Rating: | |
| I often do quick weekend trips up the mountains and really liked how the soft squeeze bottle didn't have problems with the elevation changes (no sunscreen, shampoo, etc. explosions). I liked the pre-determined labels and the variety of colors offered - these bottles are definitely more stylish than your average travel containers. BUT... I was very very disappointed with the suction cup and the flip cap. I positioned one of the 2 oz. bottles on a clean tile in the shower and securely pressed the bottle on (*Note - I did not position the bottle high - just a few inches above the rim of the bathtub). It seemed very secure. I came back into the bathroom a few hours later and found that it had lost suction, fallen less than 2 feet, resulting in the cap shattering. Why provide a suction feature if the product is not able to survive an impact. Overall, the cost of replacing one is pretty steep and I think I'll forgo replacing my broken bottle. | |
