Proactive company love the products

Proactive company producing new products all the time. I love the ease of transporting my Bob without any worry of leaking. Easy to use and holder doesn’t slip out of your hands with the rubber casing.
Nice to see innovative people doing well and finding a niche in the market.

Hey Peter,

Thanks so much for the soaperb review!

It means a lot to hear that you’re enjoying Bob so far. Making something that’s easy to travel with and perfect for life on the go was one of our main goals, so we’re really glad we’ve ticked that box for you.

We appreciate your support.

Much love,
Bob

Good idea, too expensive.

The idea is good but it's just way to expensive for what it is. It's essentially £3 per tiny bar of soap that only last 3 to 4 days when washing your self properly and you cant even finish the soap fully with the applicator so you need to take the last bit out and use your hands, not sure how 8 are supposed to last the 3 month subscription period, You get way more lather from a tiny bit of shower gel on a shower puff. Plus points for reducing plastic waste. If it was half the price it would be worth it for me.

Hey Justin

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

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 highly 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.

With all of that said, we appreciate that we’re not the cheapest on the market, but we pride ourselves on using the cleanest and best ingredients, and manufacturing in Scotland, both of which come at a premium. We are always trying to reduce the price where we can, but as a new start-up, it takes time to build order volume and achieve economies of scale.

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.

Hey David,

Thanks for taking the time to review Bob, and we’re sorry to read that your order hasn’t arrived; that’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers.

There could be a few things going on here (delays with the courier, tracking issues, or something going wrong on our side), but we’ll need a few more details to properly look into this for you and get it sorted as quickly as possible.

Please drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com with your order details and we’ll jump on this right away.

Much love,
Bob

Pretty expensive for what it is

Pretty expensive for what it is. The soap runs out very quickly and doesn't really lather up nicely either, you really have to scrub it on to make it foam up. It's pitched in such a way that would make you want to give up using shower gel, but it just isn't better, and therefore it just sits in my cupboard as a travel item.

Hey Joe,

Thanks so much for your honest feedback.

We’re sorry to hear Bob hasn’t quite lived up to expectations for you, especially when it comes to lather and how quickly the bar’s been running out. That’s understandably frustrating, and not the experience we’re aiming for.

Bob can take a little getting used to as it’s a completely different way to wash. For lather, a firm circular motion with the applicator usually helps build things up more effectively before spreading it across the skin. We’ve also recently upgraded our formula to improve both lather and scent, so it’s disappointing to hear yours didn’t deliver on that.

On longevity, most of our community tends to get around 10–15 washes per bar, but this can vary depending on how long you’re washing for and how much pressure is applied.

In terms of pricing, we know we’re not the cheapest option out there. We focus on high-quality, naturally derived ingredients and UK manufacturing, which does come at a premium, but we’re always working on ways to improve value, including our bundle options.

We genuinely appreciate your feedback, so thank you for sharing. If you’re open to it, we’d love to understand a bit more about your experience and see if we can help you get more out of Bob — feel free to email us at info@welcometobob.com.

Much love,
Bob

Hi there,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review.

We love hearing this! It’s also great to know the scent hit the mark and that Bob’s been pulling double duty for you, both in the shower and at the sink.

And you’re spot on about travelling; Bob was designed to be an easy, no-fuss companion wherever you go, so we’re glad it’s fitting into your routine so seamlessly.

Thanks again for sharing the Bob love — this made our day!

Happy washing, Bob!

Much love,
Bob

Really disappointed with this item

Really disappointed with this item. Each soap bar lasted less than a week. Little or no fragrance and even less lather. Will not be buying again.

Hey Robert,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Although we’re gutted to hear that your experience with Bob hasn’t lived up to expectations.

It sounds like a few key things didn’t quite hit the mark — particularly the bar longevity, lather, and scent; we completely understand how frustrating that must have been.

On longevity, most of our community typically gets around 10–15 washes per bar, but this can vary depending on how long you’re washing for and how much pressure is applied. That said, lasting less than a week definitely doesn’t sound right, so we’d really like to dig into that with you.

For lather, Bob can take a little getting used to as it’s a different way of washing. A firm circular motion with the applicator usually helps build up a proper lather before spreading it. We’ve also recently upgraded our formula to improve both lather and scent strength, so it’s disappointing to hear yours felt lacking on both fronts.

Ultimately, we are gutted to receive a 1 star review, as we really care about the customer experience behind the shower curtain, and we’re sorry that Bob hasn’t worked for you in the way you might have hoped.

If you’re open to it, please email us at info@welcometobob.com — we’d love to understand a bit more about your experience and see what we can do to put things right.

Much love,
Bob

Expensive but nice fragranced soap

They are nice fragrances, but nothing special, and think they are over priced for what they are.

Hey Iain,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the fragrances, but we appreciate your honesty that they didn’t quite stand out as much as you’d hoped. Scent is such a personal thing, and we know what works for one person might feel a bit underwhelming for another.

On pricing, we completely understand your perspective. We’re not the cheapest on the market, and that’s largely down to our focus on high-quality, naturally derived ingredients and manufacturing in the UK. As a new startup, we’re working hard to bring costs down over time, and we’ve introduced bundle options to help offer better value for those sticking with Bob.

We genuinely appreciate your feedback, so thank you for sharing. If you’re open to it, we’d love to understand a bit more about what you’d look for in a “standout” scent — feel free to drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com.

Much love,

Perfect for travelling

Handy holder for the soap making it easy to pack into my bag when I am out and about travelling, without making a mess throwing soap straight from the shower into my bag. I love mixing the scents and there are a few to choose from

Very good but some changes could be made

The soap is quite expensive for what it is despite the „luxury” fragrances, and it is difficult to find a good position for the soap in the dispenser- enough soap pointing out where you can use the bristles but not at the point where you only get soap with no exfoliation.
However it is very good and easy to use, you always can easily use up an entire bar of soap, the scent does last and it makes showering a lot quicker whilst maintaining good hygiene when you want and i like that the soap doesn’t go soggy.

Hey Marija,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review.

It’s great to hear you’re finding Bob easy to use and that it’s helping speed things up in the shower while still keeping things fresh and hygienic. We’re especially glad the scent is lasting well and that you’re able to use the bar right down to the end; no soggy soap is always a win!

We really appreciate your honest feedback on pricing and the positioning of the bar in the applicator. On the pricing side, we know we’re not the cheapest option out there, but we put a lot of focus into using high-quality, naturally derived ingredients and manufacturing in the UK, which does come at a premium. That said, we’re always working on ways to improve value, including our bundle options.

In terms of getting that sweet spot with the bar position, it can take a little bit of trial and error at first. A small adjustment can make a big difference between lather and exfoliation, so we’d recommend experimenting slightly with how far the bar is exposed depending on your preference.

Thanks again for sharing such balanced feedback — it really helps us keep improving.

Here’s to many great washes ahead!

Much love,
Bob

Not overly convinced with it

Not overly convinced with it. Design and fact that refills are available is great to cut down on waste, but using Bob once daily I got a week of use.
Good idea but I was hoping to get a little more out of it.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

It’s great to hear you like the design and the refill concept, reducing waste is a big part of what we’re trying to do, so that’s really nice to hear.

We understand your point on longevity. Most of our community tends to get around 10–15 washes per bar, but that can vary depending on how long you’re washing and how much product is being used. That said, we appreciate that getting around a week’s use isn’t quite what you were hoping for.

Hey Mr Payne,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Although we’re sad to hear that your experience didn’t hit the mark.

We’re really sorry to hear your delivery was delayed and that the first order was lost, that’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers.

It’s great to hear you liked the scent, but we understand your frustration around the lather and longevity. Bob can take a little getting used to, and a quick, firm circular motion with the applicator usually helps build a proper lather. It's also best to ensure that you have the bar raised enough, by pressing the little + button on the side of the applicator.

On longevity, most of our community gets around 10–15 washes per bar, but this can vary depending on usage. That said, it shouldn’t feel like it’s running out too quickly, so we’d really like to look into that for you.

We really care about the customer experience behind the shower curtain, and we’re sorry that Bob hasn’t worked for you in the way you might have hoped.

Great concept but failed delivery

Great concept but failed delivery.
Even after watching the latest videos there was no lather, could it be our water, who knows but our skin was left red raw as the product just doesn’t do what it claims and after believing the hype we’re now left with 8 bars of sort of soap. On the plus size taking them out of the applicator they really do lather up and can be used like good old fashion soap.

Hey Kevin,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback.
We’re really glad you can see the concept and that the bars themselves lather well when used on their own, but we’re sorry to hear that the overall experience with the applicator hasn’t worked as it should.

On the lather side, always ensure that the bar is raised high enough by pressing the little + button on the side of the applicator; a quick, firm circular motion usually helps get things going, but it sounds like you’ve already given that a proper go, especially after watching the tutorials.

We’re particularly concerned to hear your skin was left feeling red raw, that’s not the experience we want anyone to have. Bob should feel comfortable and effective to use, so we’d really like to understand what’s going on there and help put things right.

If you’re open to it, please email us at info@welcometobob.com, we’d love to look into this further for you and see what we can do to improve your experience, especially with those remaining bars.

Much love,
Bob

Good idea, doesn't work in practice

Liked how quickly the product was delivered. Liked the idea of what they were selling so thats why i gave it a try. The reality is that the soap runs out within a day or two and while the soap is still there, it doesn't reach your skin when using the product.
Tried pushing down on the soap from the top while showering but its too difficult, so I've stopped using it.
Good quality product though, shame

Hey Mr McLeod,

Thanks so much for your honest feedback.

It’s great to hear delivery was quick and that the concept got you interested enough to give Bob a go. We’re really sorry to hear the experience didn’t live up to expectations once you got using it.

On the bar running out quickly, our community typically finds each bar lasts around 10–15 washes, but this can vary depending on how long you’re washing and how much pressure is applied during use. That said, it definitely shouldn’t feel like it’s disappearing within a couple of days, have you been pressing the little + button on the side of the applicator to raise the bar?

We’re gutted it’s led to you stopping using it, especially as you can see the quality in the product itself.

We genuinely appreciate your feedback, so thank you for sharing. If you’re open to it, we’d really like to understand a bit more and help get you a better experience. Please feel free to email us at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll be happy to soapport you further.
