Product Review: GoToob Flexible Travel Tubes
What the website says:
Original review: 10th April 2015
“GoToob is the civilized, smart, squeezable tube for travelling, outdoors and more. Typical travel bottles are hard plastic canisters that pay no attention to the human experience at hand. The award-winning and patented GoToob is made from soft yet rugged silicone, so it's easy to squeeze and it dispenses the product right away. A special, "no-drip" valve helps the cap stay clean.”

“The first GoToob was the original, patented soft travel bottle, and it set the standard in this category for a decade. While others have been busy trying to copy the original GoToob, we’ve been busy making something even better. The new GoToob+ keeps the features people love: it’s still made from soft, rugged silicone that’s easy to squeeze and gets every last drop out; the small, medium, and large sizes are still air travel approved (TSA); and all four sizes are food-safe (FDA). But the GoToob+ also offers a bunch of new features that no other soft travel bottle in the world has.”
What we say:
These are still the first things I prepare before every trip. I fill these little beauties to the top and I’m good to go.
They come in Small: 50 ml (1.7 fl oz), Medium: 73 ml (2.5 fl oz), Large: 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) and Extra Large: 177 ml (6.0 fl oz not approved for carry-on with TSA). All have an ID window with a clear spot for you to write what inside and their special "no-drip" valve means you only get product when you squeeze and it helps the cap stay clean.
They are very eco-friendly as they can replace all the small sample size products that people buy – paying three times the price for a third of the product – then throw them out, with most of them non-recyclable. The more people who adopt these the more landfill we can prevent.
Now, we only endorse products that are amazing and/or do double duty, well check this out... the GoToob is made of high-purity, FDA food-safe silicone. That means you can potentially fill them with anything – check the website and look at "Recommend Testing First” to see what products may not be right for them, otherwise, the sky’s the limit.
They make other great products, including the super versatile GoTubbs (a recent purchase and review coming soon), GoCups collapsible drink cups, GoBites reusable eating utensils (also in my kit) and their original product, capCAP+, a pop-up lid for water bottles.
Verdict:
Vital kit for any traveller. GoToobs are the best way to save money and the planet by taking your own products in travel size, they’ll last forever (all have a lifetime warranty) and you’ll find them invaluable.
