A lot of care goes into both our ingredients and the design of the product, so hearing that it feels premium to you genuinely means a lot to the team. We’re excited for you to try the other scents too; everyone seems to end up with a favourite behind the shower curtain.

Thanks again for the glowing review and for recommending Bob to others. This absolutely made our day!

Much love,

Really impressed with the applicator and the soaps themselves. smells great and for me personally they last longer than Bob suggest. Very happy and can’t see me using anything else for a long time.

Hey Aaron,

Thank you so much for the amazing review!

We’re really pleased to hear you’re enjoying both the scents and the convenience for travelling (no leaking body wash bottles/soggy soaps is always a win).

We’ve been working hard behind the shower curtain on some exciting new things, so it’s great to hear you’re looking forward to what’s next.

Hey Dillon

Thank you for your review. We’re really sorry to hear your order didn’t arrive, and that it's affected your Bob experience.

We looked into this further, and it appears there was an issue with the courier during transit.

We’ve since resent your order with expedited shipping and emailed over the updated order and tracking details for you. We really appreciate your patience and the chance to put this right.

Much love,
Bob

Disappointing – Not as amazing as the adverts claim

I was really excited about Bob after seeing the ads – it looked like a game-changer for convenience, sustainability, and a premium shower experience.

Unfortunately, it fell well short of the hype.

The bar didn't lather nearly as well as promised (or as well as a decent liquid body wash), and it felt messy/slippery to use with the applicator. I didn't get that "insane lather" or fresh, long-lasting clean feeling the marketing pushes. It also didn't seem to last as long as expected for the price.
Overall, it's an interesting concept for reducing plastic, but the execution just isn't there for me. Really disappointed – I won't be repurchasing or recommending it. Stick to what already works unless you're okay experimenting.

Hi Mr Dugdale,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such detailed and honest feedback. Although we’re gutted to hear that Bob didn’t live up to the expectations set by our ads, we really do appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your experience so openly.

We completely understand your frustration around the lather, longevity, and overall feel of the applicator. Bob is definitely a very different way to wash, and while lots of customers love the switch, we know it won’t click with everyone straight away. The lather in particular can take a little getting used to, as a quick, firm circular motion with the applicator tends to build things up much better than using it like a traditional body wash.

We’ve actually recently upgraded our formula to improve both the richness of the lather and the strength of the scent, while still keeping the naturally derived ingredients and plastic-free approach at the core of what we do. As a very new startup, we’re constantly learning and refining based on feedback exactly like yours.
In terms of longevity, our community generally tells us they get around 10–15 washes per bar, but we know this can vary depending on washing style, shower length, and how much lather you prefer. We also appreciate your point around value for money, especially when expectations are set high.

Ultimately, we’re really sorry that Bob hasn’t worked for you in the way you’d hoped.

If you’d be open to it, please drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com — we’d genuinely love the chance to learn a little more about your experience and see if there’s anything we can do to put things right behind the shower curtain.

Much love,
Bob

Bob on!

Really impressed with this product. The soap has a very strong, fresh scent that lasts and makes the whole shower smell great. The quality of the holder is also excellent — sturdy, well-made, and holds the soap securely without slipping around. Overall, it feels like a premium product and I’ll definitely be buying my refills. Good for the planet as well!

We’re really pleased to hear you’ve been impressed with both the bars and the applicator. Hearing that the scent lasts and fills the shower exactly how we intended is amazing feedback for us. We’ve spent a lot of time refining the overall experience, so comments like this genuinely mean a lot.

Thanks again for the support. We can’t wait to keep upgrading your shower game

We’re a family of BoB lovers now

We’re a family of BoB lovers now. I first bought one to help with my eczema, which it has, but my sons kept stealing it for themselves. So, to keep the peace, my boys aged 13 and 10 each have their own now, and they love it too. We all enjoy using the applicator, and the big favourite is the Morning Man soap bar with its citrus scent. Both boys play football, so dirty knees are inevitable, but the bristles on the applicator get the 3G pitch grit right off. Keep up the innovation; we look forward to what’s next.

Fragrance is good

Fragrance is good, but I used each bar of soap twice before they ran out.
I’m hairy and are of thick set, so not recommended for the larger gentleman.
Otherwise, yes , quite a good product.

Hey Paul

Thank you for the honest review, and we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the fragrance and overall product!

We completely appreciate your feedback on bar longevity, too. Most of our community tends to get around 10–15 washes per bar, although things like shower length and frequency of use. And as you pointed out, body size and hairiness can definitely make a difference too.

To help tackle this for customers who go through bars more quickly, we recently introduced Bob Bundles, which offer more refills at a discounted cost to provide better overall value and ensure customers have enough bars to last throughout the month.

That said, we completely understand your concern and we want Bob to feel like good value as well as a great product, so feedback like this really helps us keep improving.

If you’d like to chat more about your experience, feel free to drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com. We’re always happy to help.

Much love,
Bob

It's a great system for the gym and travelling with work as it's compact and easy to travel with, but I find it too slow when at home as it's pretty small.
Great scent and nice lather.
My review is 4 stars based on travelling and the gym bit would be 3 at home.

Hey Glenn

Thank you for the thoughtful review!

We’re really pleased to hear Bob has been a great fit for the gym and travelling with work. Portability and convenience were a huge part of what we wanted to create.

In terms of using Bob at home, we completely understand that it can feel a little different compared to larger traditional soap bars or body wash at first.

We usually find that getting the best experience comes down to technique, ensuring both the bar/applicator and your skin are fully wet, then using fast circular motions to build up a rich lather quickly and get an efficient full-body wash.

Thanks again for the honest feedback and support, we really appreciate it.

Much love,
Bob

Recent refills are either smaller so they don't get grabbed by the holder, or the rubber "seal" which grips the bar wears out. Makes the device unusable as the soap just falls out.

As with other reviews, unable to use full block in device so left with ~1 wash worth you have to use up manually.

Hey Martin

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble with the applicator.

Regarding the piece of soap left over. The applicator is designed that way to hold the soap securely; if it were pushed up too far, it would likely fall out during use.

That said, we completely understand your point, and it’s definitely something we could look at for future development. For now, we usually recommend applying a little more pressure toward the end to get the most out of the bar. Some customers also prefer to pop the remaining piece out and use it manually to avoid any waste.

Our applicators use wiperseal technology to securely grip and hold the bar in place, so what you’ve described definitely doesn’t sound right. We’d really love to take a closer look at this for you and help get it sorted.

Please send us an email at info@welcometobob.com with a few details (and ideally a photo or short video if possible), and our team will be happy to investigate further for you.

Thanks again for the honest feedback.

Much love,
Bob

I really wanted to like it, but...

Firstly, I like the scent of the soap. It is really good, and it lasts after a shower! The applicator is made well and looks good.

The customer service was also excellent. Top notch.

However, unfortunately this product didn't work for me. I had trouble getting it to lather properly, and I found the applicator difficult to hold.

The end that does the cleaning is very small, and it can be uncomfortable on the more bony parts of the body. It takes quite a lot of effort to get full coverage.

I just didn't feel clean after a shower like I did before.

The bar only lasted for about 5 washes too. It is quite expensive for what you actually get.

I think the product has potential, and I'd really like to give it another go one-day, but right now it doesn't work for me personally.

Hey Michael

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and balanced review.

We really appreciate you highlighting the things you enjoyed, especially the scent longevity, applicator quality, and your experience with our customer service team, that genuinely means a lot to us.

We’re also really sorry to hear that the overall experience didn’t quite work for you personally. Bob is definitely a different shower experience compared to traditional body wash or larger soap bars, and we completely understand that it won’t suit everyone’s preferences or routine.

In terms of the lather, we usually recommend ensuring both your skin and the applicator are fully wet before use, then applying in circular motions to help create the best lather and coverage possible. This would also make it a more comfortable experience on the bony parts of the body.

To help with that, our Co-Founder Mike has put together a short tutorial on getting the most out of your bar, which you might find helpful: https://youtu.be/n_5HuDBhdc4?feature=shared

Regarding bar longevity, the bars are intentionally designed to work with the applicator to help control soap usage, although we know usage can vary significantly from person to person. Most customers get around 10–15 washes per bar, but we appreciate that wasn’t your experience. We’ve recently introduced Bob Bundles as a way to offer more refills at a discounted cost for customers who go through bars more quickly.

We also appreciate that we’re not the cheapest option on the market. As a small startup, we’ve chosen to focus on premium ingredients and UK manufacturing, both of which come at a higher cost, although we’re always looking at ways to improve value as we grow.

Thank you again for giving Bob a try and for sharing such constructive feedback. We genuinely appreciate the honesty, and we’d love to welcome you back one day if you decide to give us another go in the future, please pop us an email at info@welcometobob.com as we’d love to see if there’s anything we can do to keep you washing with Bob.

Much love,
Bob

Expensive, Small soap, Wasteful, but smells nice?

Expensive: high cost and small quantity.

I want to preface that I understand this is supposed to be a semi-luxury item that is better quality for a higher cost. I just can't get over the incredibly small size.

It's also wasteful...
There is always a bit left that you have to either throw away or struggle to use up. The device has a button built in to push more of the soap out. Firstly, the amount it pushes out is too much. That is, I'd rather push out a little more frequently than a lot all at once. Secondly, once you've pushed it "all the way", there still remains a little that cannot be pushed out any further.

Pros:
- Nice concept
- Feels like it's good quality plastic
- Good for flights since it doesn't contribute to your liquids
- Bristles do feel like they work the soap in well
- Wall holder works well I guess
- Smells nice

Cons
- High pricing (discounts included, but with the modern trend of "discount always" it doesn't really feel like you're saving)
- Small soap (though I haven't weighed it, they feel about 50g)
- Don't last long (about 8 washes for me, I'm not a particularly big person either and I'm not using it on my face or hair and I still wouldn't be able to stretch it out as long as they claim on their website "10 to 15")
- Always wastes the last bit (The applicator, although "well designed" according to them, doesn't push the soup out all the way to the end, always hiding the last little bit which you either have to struggle to use up or take out and inevitably have break crumble and lose down the drain.)

I've given it the best I could afford for the last 3-4 months, but I just can't justify the cost, size, and wastefulness. Saying this I could easily be convinced to keep it just for the purpose of travel, but not their marked every-day purpose.

In short, the trade-off is expensive, small, and wasteful for nice portable smells.

Hey Phil

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review.

We’re really pleased to hear you liked the overall concept, portability and scent profile.s. We also appreciate the honest feedback around bar longevity, pricing, and the remaining soap left in the applicator.

In terms of the bar size, the bars are intentionally designed to work with the applicator, which helps control how much soap is used per wash. Most customers get around 10–15 washes per bar, although we completely appreciate that this can vary depending on usage and personal preference.

To help tackle this for customers who go through bars more quickly, we recently introduced Bob Bundles, which offer more refills at a discounted cost to provide better overall value and ensure customers have enough bars to last throughout the month.

We're aware that we’re not the cheapest option on the market. As a small startup, we’ve chosen to focus on high-quality ingredients and UK manufacturing, both of which come at a premium. That said, we’re constantly looking at ways to improve value for our community as we continue to grow and achieve greater economies of scale over time.

Regarding your feedback on the last bit left in the applicator. The applicator is designed that way to hold the soap securely; if it were pushed up too far, it would likely fall out during use.

I have to admit, I got it wrong with Bob....

I have to admit, I got it wrong with Bob....

I signed up last week, received my order really quickly but was completely underwhelmed by the product so I cancelled my subscription and thought I'd been sucked into yet another marketing fad.

Then, while using up my supply, I realised how good it was and how wrong ai had been. My issue was that the bar seemed set too low, but ai didn't spot the little button on the side to bump it up the applicator.

Since finding this, I love it, it's perfect for the gym and I have signed up again making the most of the offer so I now have an applicator for home and the gym.

I am sorry I got it wrong Bob. Keep up the good work
