Customer Reviews

When i received my 3 pack of 3 oz bottles, the main thing i tested was whether they would be leak proof as promised. So i put in some water into the bottle and squeezed the bottle before screwing back on the cap and closing the cap to see if the bottle would retain just the little amount of air I gave it. (I find this a useful technique so that when air pressure expands the things in the bottle the bottles won't explode making my bag messy.) Surprisingly, the bottle expanded to it's original size after i stopped squeezing it which worried me because that meant that air could still get back into the gotoob bottles while the bottles were closed and therefore, the bottles might not be leak proof. However, when i shook the bottle, nothing came out so so far it was leakproof. Next I started squeezing the bottle fairly hard while it was closed to mimic the pressure that the bottles would suffer from while in my luggage when i go traveling. The bottle held up fine but the liquid came out just a little bit, but not enough that it would soak my bag. I was a little disappointed but i used it on a weekend vacation anyways to further test it out.
I used 2 bottles for a creamy shampoo and a creamy body soap and I used 1 of the bottles for a face cleanser with a very watery consistency until shaken. Just for extra precaution i put the bottle that held the watery facial cleanser in a ziplock bag in case it leaked. I then packed my duffel bag quite tightly. After taking the 3 gotoob bottles out during my vacation and after the vacation was over, I noticed that the two bottles with the creamy and thick liquids held up fine and did not leak at all. However, the bottle with the watery liquid made my ziplock bag slightly wet and foamy. Therefore, these gotoob bottles hold up really well for thicker products such as creams, lotions, probably gels. However, for products that have the consistency of water, if there is a lot of pressure on that bottle while it is closed, it can potentially leak.
Overall, I really like these bottles because they feel really nice, I don't worry about dropping them while showering because they're very easy to grip, and they are very flexible when dispensing the liquid inside of them versus the other hard travel bottles that I have bought in the past. I just put the bottle with the watery liquid in a separate ziplock bag just in case it leaks while traveling in my luggage.

Having looked for a travel bottle that holds up, doesn't crack and is easy to use, I finally found the GoToob. I log well over a dozen trips per year and cram these bottle into my bag (carry-on) where they get pushed and smashed repeatedly. Never once have they come open, cracked or broken. This is a well thought-out product...Period. From a value perspective, I don't agree with others that rated lower for the price. There is no other product of this quality on the market. If you are looking for quality, something that isn't going to pop open or crack, this is it and is worth the money. I have not yet had a single problem with the 3 that I travel with and I feel even better considering the manufacturer's statement on standing behind the product. From their website http://www.humangear.com/GoToob.html regarding replacement caps (and they have a sense of humor):
"Has a wild elephant stormed through your bathroom, stepping on one of your GoToobs and breaking the cap? Have you accidentally cut your tube with a sharp Ginsu knife right after cutting through a soda can? These things happen. Please contact us if you have any problems with your GoToob (please be sure to provide your mailing address). We stand behind our products - if something isn't right, let us know and we'll make it right."
For frequent travelers or those that really don't want their liquid bottles to break or leak...this is it!
