It convenient but the soap doesn’t last that long. You have to refill after about 7-8 days. It dose not lather as well as I was hoping

Hey there

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear Bob hasn’t quite lived up to expectations in terms of longevity and lather.

On average, our Bob community gets around 10–15 washes per bar. That can vary depending on how long you shower for, how big (or small) you are, and how hairy (or not) you are.

Our new formulas have been designed to be more lathering and highly moisturising. When these two things are combined, and depending on how long you wash for, bars can go down faster.

We recently introduced Bob bundles to tackle that issue, which offer more refills at a discounted cost, ensuring you have enough bars to last every month. We know how important value is, and we believe that this is a great option to get the most value out of our product.

In terms of lather, because our bars are made with naturally derived ingredients (and skip sulfates), they can feel a little different from standard supermarket soaps, but we know how important a good lather is.

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

Either way, please drop 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.

Thank you for the great review!

We’re really pleased to hear you’re enjoying Bob so far and that it's made travelling convenient.

Top Notch Customer Experience

Had a missing item, that i reported very late so partly my fault! Emailed Bob and they reply effortlessly and professionally. Went above and beyond, and resent my missing items.

Great customer service and a banging product.

Hey Derek,

Thanks so much for your positive feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.

We’re sorry there was a missing item in your original order, but we’re so pleased to hear the team was able to get everything sorted for you quickly. These things can occasionally happen, so it’s great to know our customer soapport team helped get you back up and running behind the shower curtain!

And of course, hearing that you’re loving the product as well is the cherry on top.

Thanks again for sharing the Bob love. This made our day!

Much love,

I have to admit I was sceptical

I have to admit I was sceptical, as advertising hype is a powerful thing.
The great news is that I am really impressed at how good BOB is.
You will read reviews which mention it doesn't foam like shower gel...and they are correct.
What BOB actually does is fantastic, as all you have to do as per the guide.
Iam really impressed how good my skin feels after washing with BOB...it feels refreshed and clean... with the added benefit of no soap suds having to be washed away.
Try it...I am glad that I did!
Take the plunge and order the kit with the holder as it really is a handy thing to have.
Definitely worth the money and 5 🌟 for what BOB does!!
Refreshed all the time after a shower 😃

Hey Mike,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We absolutely love hearing from customers who were sceptical at first but ended up loving their wash with Bob!

You’ve explained the Bob experience brilliantly. You’re right that Bob doesn’t behave exactly like traditional shower gel, but we designed it to deliver a really clean, refreshed feeling without leaving your skin stripped or dried out. Hearing that your skin feels refreshed and clean after every shower is exactly what we hoped for when creating Bob.

We’re also really pleased to hear the holder has been a hit too — having Bob ready to go behind the shower curtain definitely makes life easier!

Thanks again for sharing the Bob love and for giving us a chance despite the scepticism. Reviews like this genuinely make our day.

Happy washing Bob!

Much love,
Bob

Thank you so much for the lovely review!

We’re so glad we could get a replacement sorted quickly and without any hassle.

Thanks again for your support.

Very poor product. The soap doesn’t really lather up unless you remove it from the carrier.

Hey Alyn,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Although we’re sorry to hear that Bob hasn’t lived up to expectations for you, we really appreciate you sharing your feedback.

Lather can take a little getting used to as Bob is quite a different way to wash compared to traditional shower gels or soap bars. We’ve found that a quick, firm circular motion with the applicator usually helps build the lather up properly before spreading it across the body. Also, always ensure you have the bar raised sufficiently by pressing the little + button on the side of the applicator.

We’ve recently upgraded our formula to create a richer lather and stronger scent, and feedback like yours genuinely helps us continue improving the wash experience behind the shower curtain.

If you’d be open to it, please drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com and we’d love to learn a little more about your experience and see if there’s anything we can do to soapport you further.

Much love,
Bob

Travel game changer

I've been a Bob customer for just over a year and it's genuinely become part of my routine rather than a novelty I bought once and forgot about. The range has grown nicely in the time I've been subscribed, so there's always something new worth trying, and the quality has stayed consistent throughout.

The brush in particular is the thing I didn't realise I needed. Travelling with it is so much easier than packing a traditional toothbrush, no damp head sat in the bottom of a wash bag, no plastic clutter, and it just feels cleaner.

Delivery has been reliable, packaging is sensible, and the whole experience feels like a small company that actually cares. Happy to keep recommending it.

Hey Damian

Thank you so much for such an incredible review.

Hearing that Bob has become part of your everyday routine honestly means the world to us. We’ve worked really hard to keep improving the range while staying consistent with quality, so it’s great to hear that’s come through in your experience. We are a small team, and feedback like this genuinely keeps us motivated.

Really appreciate your continued support and recommendations.

Overall great but more and stronger fragrances please

Customer service and the products are great, I have happily recommended Bob to friends. I have 2 small niggles: firstly the small range of scents (flavours?).
Secondly, I have the sandalwood and geranium bars, and they smell very nice but I would like them to be a bit stronger. I had to ask my wife if she likes the scent (she does but she wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't asked her).

Hey Andy

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review.

We’re really pleased to hear you’ve been enjoying both the products and the customer service so far.

We also really appreciate the honest feedback around the scent range and fragrance strength. As for the sandalwood and geranium bars, we’re glad you both liked the scent profile, although we completely understand wanting a stronger fragrance that lingers a bit more noticeably. The great news is that we have a lot of great things in the pipeline.

Much love,
Bob

Bob’s customer service is first-class

Bob’s customer service is first-class. I had a slight issue with my first applicator/holder, which personally I believe may have been my own fault. I asked if I could buy one on its own without starting a new subscription and they replaced it FOC for me very quickly. Can’t fault them at all, would be happy to recommend Bob to anyone and I am definitely a lifelong customer.

The soap was very good and lathered well. The disappointment was the applicator which did not work so well and was discarded after coming apart and failing to work.
Nice product but needs some work I believe.

Hey Eric,

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with Bob. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the soap itself and that it lathered well for you behind the shower curtain!

We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you had with the applicator coming apart and not performing as expected. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our community, and we completely understand your disappointment.

We’ll make sure this feedback is shared with the team, as we’re always working on improving durability and the overall design of the applicator.

If you’re open to it, please do drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com so we can look into this further for you and get this sorted with you.

Thanks again for your honest feedback — it genuinely helps us improve.

Hey Gareth,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Although we’re gutted to hear Bob hasn’t worked for you in the way you’d hoped behind the shower curtain, we really do appreciate you giving it a proper try.

We know lather is a really important part of the washing experience, and Bob can take a little getting used to as it’s a completely different format to traditional body wash. A quick, firm circular motion with the applicator usually helps build the lather properly before spreading it across the body, but we completely appreciate that even with guidance it may still not feel right for everyone.

We’ve also recently upgraded our formula with our supplier in Scotland to improve lather and overall wash experience, as this is something we’re constantly working on based on feedback like yours.

We genuinely care about the experience behind the shower curtain. If you’re open to it, please drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com and we’d love to learn a bit more and see if there’s anything we can do to soapport you further.

Hey Stephanie,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Great to hear you’re loving Bob behind the shower curtain!

We really appreciate the honest feedback on lather too — we know how important that “soapy” feel is for a great wash. Bob can take a little getting used to as it’s a completely different way of washing, and a quick, firm circular motion with the applicator usually helps build the lather up properly before spreading it from there.

We’ve also recently upgraded our formula with our supplier in Scotland to create a richer lather and more moisturising wash, so feedback like this genuinely helps us keep improving.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and for the support.

Much love,
Bob

Great product

Great product - I have had this on subscription for a while, prefer the fragranced rather than the natural and like the fact that BOB introduce new fragrances from time to time as I like to mix and match, but would prefer to be notified prior to subscription date to be given the choice (Minor detail that does not deter from the product or service. The guys from Bob are happy to accommodate your requests if needed. The utensil / silicone scrubber is also a nice touch - limits the soggy breakdown when stored

Hey Aidan,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Great to hear you’re enjoying Bob and that the subscription is working well for you behind the shower curtain!

We’re especially glad you’re enjoying the fragranced range and the fact we’re introducing new scents — we love being able to keep things fresh so you can mix and match.

We really appreciate the feedback on subscription notifications too. That’s a really fair point, and we completely understand wanting a bit more control before renewals and changes. This is something we are actively looking into.

It’s also great to hear you’re finding the applicator and scrubber useful and helping with longevity.
Thanks again for sharing the Bob love and for supporting us on the journey.

Bob

Hey Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Bob. We’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the scent and that it feels better than traditional soaps.

We completely hear your feedback on longevity and value. Our bars typically last around 10–15 washes depending on how often you wash and your technique, but we appreciate that this can feel short compared to conventional body wash or soap bars. Since moving to our supplier in Scotland, the bars have been designed to be highly lathering and moisturising, which can sometimes mean they wear down a little quicker for some people.

We also appreciate your honesty around pricing. As a small startup focused on naturally derived ingredients and UK manufacturing, our costs are higher than mass-produced alternatives, but we’re always working on ways to improve value for our community.

Thanks again for sharing your feedback — it genuinely helps us improve Bob behind the shower curtain.

Much love,
Bob

I was skeptical

I was skeptical? but am impressed and loving Bob. Just finished my first soap after 3 weeks use. I didn’t need the holder but unfortunately couldn't order without, which is a waste. I also don't like soap subscription, so cancelled that preferring PAYG. I thought the cap would fill with drips of soap after use but it doesn't.
So product and soap great.
Holder and soapscription not so great IMHO.

Hey Paul,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Great to hear you went from skeptical to loving Bob — that’s always lovely to hear behind the shower curtain!

We’re really glad the product itself has been working well for you and that it’s lasted around 3 weeks of use too.

We really appreciate the honest feedback on the holder and subscription model. The holder was originally designed as part of the full system for convenience and portability, but we completely hear you that not everyone needs it, and feedback like yours is exactly what helps us improve how we offer Bob moving forward. The same goes for subscriptions; we know they’re not for everyone, which is why we’re always looking at ways to make our options more flexible.

It’s also great to hear the cap design has worked better than expected and avoided any drips — small wins we love to hear!

Thanks again for sharing your experience and for supporting us as a very new startup. It genuinely helps shape what Bob becomes next.

Much love,
Bob

BOB is not only just a great and convenient invention. It also smells bloody marvelous! The applicator is sturdy although, slightly awkward to hold with wet soapy on to a smooth surface. Also think the bars and applicator could have a bigger exposed area as it's quite small. All in all though, not bought another bottle of body wash since

We’re especially glad you’re loving the scent — “bloody marvelous” is always what we’re aiming for 😄

We really appreciate the thoughtful feedback on the applicator and bar size too. The design was originally created to make washing more convenient and help reach those harder-to-get areas, but we completely hear your point around grip and surface area. Feedback like this is really valuable for us as a very new startup and helps shape how we continue to improve Bob.

Thanks again for sharing the Bob love, and here’s to many more bottle-free washes ahead!

Sad to read

I have seen so much of this product on instagram and other media outlets and originally my 1st thoughts were wow this looks like a great looking product and then the read up on it and then thought I am going to purchase this today. Then I decided like I always do to go through all the reviews and not just the first 10 good reviews that these companies want you to see and not go down the list and see the other negative reviews. So sadly after reading all the reviews positive and negative I decided that I would not spend my well earned money on this product. I think the company needs to go away and look at the views and make some changes or they won’t be around for long. There is so much competition out there but your product needs to be the best to survive.

As a new startup, we’re listening closely to everything our community tells us - the good, the bad, and everything in between. Every bit of feedback helps us learn and improve.

We know we’re not perfect (yet!). But we’re working hard, behind the shower curtain, to get there.

Suckers at the back of dispenser is not really suitable for tiles the weight of it keeps pulling itself off the wall and it’s not that heavy so better quality suction cups would make it a better product as with all products you don’t know these things until you order them

Hey Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Bob. We really appreciate the honest feedback, especially as a very new startup constantly learning and improving behind the shower curtain.

We’re glad to hear you can see the potential in the idea, although we’re sorry the overall experience hasn’t quite lived up to expectations for you.

In terms of the shower mount, it does work best on smooth, dry surfaces such as glass and certain tile types, but we completely appreciate that this can still be frustrating if it’s not holding properly in your setup. We’re actually developing an updated mount accessory designed to work across a wider range of shower surfaces, which is currently in testing.

We also hear your comments around the bar size and value. Our newer bars are designed to be highly lathering and moisturising, although we know longevity can vary depending on washing style and shower length, and we’re constantly reviewing feedback like this as we continue refining the product.

Ultimately, we’re gutted Bob hasn’t fully hit the mark for you, but we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. If you’re open to it, please drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com and we’d be happy to soapport further.
