humangear Go Toob Liquid Travel Bottle, Clear, 3oz-Single

Before buying these GoToob model travel bottles I went through a lot of different options for travel containers. Most of them bad. If anything, the GoToob 3 ounce bottle has more features than it needs. I use the twist label, but since I only buy the clear version of the bottle I tend to know which is which from a quick look. Good things about the product: It is designed to store with the business end down, so the contents are at the ready. When dispensing the liquid, you can control the amount depending on how much pressure is used on the tube. The surface is just tacky enough so it doesn't slip away when you need it. The surface dries easily so it's right back into the bag (or whatever storage you have) right after use. The snap close lid isn't ironclad, but it has a decent seal backed up with a suction valve at the tube opening itself to keep the contents secure. I have stored this is some pretty jam packed bags and I have not had one open on me yet. The containers are sturdy and reliable. Other than the products not being the lowest cost option on the market, I have not really observed any cons.

Cap is a weak design and broke after very little use. Humangear warranty-service is even weaker. A month after contacting Humangear, half dozens emails and endless excuses from customer service this product and the people that warranty are deemed worthless, don't waste your money.

I bought this for my shoe-maintenance kit. I filled it with neatsfoot oil. I use that to condition shoes and boots.Neatsfoot oil is thick, so you wouldn't expect it to leak easily. However, if I give the bottle much of a squeeze, I get some runaway oil spilling out between the cap and the body.If I squeeze with much gusto, the neck between the cap and body distends and it gushes. Danger.

Given the price, I was a little disappointed by the durability of this container. The lid has a finite number of open/close cycles to it by design. The flexible body isn't very rugged either. Lastly, I found that it didn't work well for anything thick, like toothpaste. The contents had to be almost liquid to be squeezed out easily. Loaded with toothpaste, I thought I would burst the container trying to squeeze it out. In the end, I just use small mason jars instead. They're cheaper, easier to clean, and last forever.

I have enjoyed using this very pliable tube in the shower. I do not like having large bottles to lug up and down to use, so this fits the bill. I have dropped the tube a couple times, right on the cap, and it held up--I was worried both times that the cap would break, and it did not. I also like the tube opening on the bottom, as that is where the product flows--so no shaking to get product toward the tube opening!The opening of the tube where "product" comes out also has this neat "ventricle-type" valve construction, so I noticed no leakage as posted in some of the other reviews. Have not yet taken in a suitcase or on a plane, so cannot comment on other leakage scenarios while traveling.If you are trying to get just a very small dab of product out (like a tic-tac sized micro blob), this tube might not deliver, because getting the "ventricle-type" valve on the inside of the tube to release product means that even when you squeeze slightly, you might get a blob that is more the size of a Pez or two rather than a very small blob. If you can live with that (and I indeed could), then consider this practical tube as a nice downsized replacement for any large bottles that you might use regularly.

At $10, a bit pricey . . . but it is a fantastic travel bottle. All of the travel bottles I use are HumanGear GoToobs of different colors and sizes, allowing me to indulge my anal-retentive compulsions - 3oz white/clear for soap, 1.25oz green for shampoo, 1.25oz blue for conditioner, 1.25oz orange for face wash. For anyone posting that the product is not airtight or leaks . . . have you checked to see if the cap was screwed on all the way? Reading those reviews, I was concerned about this when I first bought the product and have tested every one that I've received. The only time I thought I had an issue, I hadn't screwed the cap on completely.

Sturdy and pliable. My only gripe is that the bottle won't stay squished. Whenever you stop squeezing it refills with air, even when full of whatever you decide to fill it with. No leaks though. Seems to be pretty tough. Might get more for a set, we'll see how this one holds up.

I read some reviews about these not working well and breaking during travel, so I was hesitant to buy. I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm glad I did. They traveled in my checked bags with no issue. I really like at that it has a small plastic ring with an opening that you can rotate around the base of the bottle that essentially marks what you have in the bottle (Shamp, Cond, Soap, Lotion) so they're all easily distinguishable. I recommend.
