humangear GoToob Civilized Squeezable Travel Tube (Pack of 3), Black, 3-Ounce

Overhauled review - Update 10/27/17: I've owned my GoToob's for 19 months now. Original review in the comments.-----Is it odd to love a travel tube? I've had so many bottles, containers, and tubes over the years and these lil guys made me want to throw each and every one of them out the door... and I did! Well... I kicked them out to the recycle bin. I use these tubes to reduce the footprint on my desk, my bathroom vanity and in my purse. I have a lotion mix (see the bottom paragraph) in a GoToob in literally every room of the house. I'll put my large bottles of lotion, shampoo, conditioner and hand soap in the closet and keep my smaller GoToobs within reach.Originally I had an issue with the black, I don't even really remember why... But I like them now. We have dark brown almost black desks, side tables, and coffee table (go go Ikea furniture!) so they go well with my furniture.These silicone containers take almost nothing to clean. If you have a thick mixture like mine below I'll take the cap off and put a drop of dish soap inside and fill up with warm water. Put the cap back on, set it and forget it. When I can shake it up and see that nothing's clinging to the sides then I'll empty it by opening the cap and pushing on it to get any product off the section on the cap then give the inside a quick rinse before taking the pieces apart then stick the opened cap in the cutlery tray and the silicone section goes on the top rack where cups go then I clean it along with the next set of dishes. I don't dry my dishes with heat, I typically just open the dishwasher and let everything air dry overnight, so as long as the tube hasn't gotten flipped upside down it's dry by morning but if you need it right away towel dry it and you're good to go.If you're a frequent traveler you may want to look into the ones with the  Go Toob with Suction Cup  so you can put it on the bathroom wall in your suite.-----I have eczema and normally I mix together equal ratios of either  Gold Bond Eczema Relief  or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream  and  CeraVe Healing Ointment . I mix it up in a smaller resealable mason type jar, then spoon the product (depending on my ratios and how it thick it turns out that day) making sure to pack it into the bottom (normally the top) of the GoToob trying to pack as much as I can in there before I reseal it. It's not difficult to refill, it's quite the contrary, but I prefer to make a mess as infrequently as possible.

I bought this to hold my homemade diaper lotion and it fits the bill perfectly. Easy to fill, doesn't leak, holds enough to last a week or so. Great product.

When the TSA didn't believe me when I showed them the box that my topical pain killer gel came in with the Rx label with me as the patient and Rx written all over the bottle, they tested the contents. It had glycerin that they said was a bomb accelerant, they called their bomb expert to review the medicine I need for chronic back pain. I even had a service dog, that would have indicated I'm disabled. The bomb squad personnel was in another terminal and I had already been detained 25 minutes. The bomb squad expert came 15 minutes later and cleared me, but not before the TSA had called the DFW police because I went over and told a gate agent to call my gate and tell them I was running late at the Checkpoint. My only other option was to surrender my expensive topical prescription and go with out it on my trip and come home and pay for it again, IF my doctor would write me another Rx. Beyond making all TSA Agents use common sense, or train them a little better, I bought these little GoToob Civilized Squeezable Travel Tubes, and life has never been easier at the checkpoints. They are a lot easier to carry and pack than every manufacturers branded packaging. Victory for the weary Traveling Public! By the way, the bomb expert called the entire incident and "overkill" and read them the riot act, particularity for calling the police to the scene, when the ingredients were listed on the bottle and consistent with their test results. I had to be escorted to my gate and board a plane with 153 angry passengers with 306 beady eye staring at me as I boarded the plane. Thank goodness I had a seat up front, but I almost missed the plane and delayed everyone on the plane! Get yourself some little tubes to carry your liquids, gels and Rx's in and avoid high-stress encounters at the airport!

These tubes are awesome. I used to travel a lot and that's when I splurged for these pricey little things. Now that I don't travel as much, I still use my tubes all the time as they are just so easy to use. Whether you travel or not, I recommend these for anything and everything. They have never leaked and the rubberized material never shows and markings from squeezing and always returns to it's intended shape. I do wish there was a better marking system to indicate the contents other than the rotatable collar. Also, the price does seem high at first, but they are worth it.

There may be some ambivalence out in the world regarding travel containers but hear you me, these are absolutely worth it. Great textured feel, vacuum reinforced spout and a little ring that has inlaid labels so you know what liquid you have in the tube! Leak free and the black colorway is cool as hell!
