A winner anyway with the original…

A winner anyway with the original recipe soap bars, but now grand master with the new, more suds, formula bars!!!
Customer service feel like family members or mates, and will do the utmost to help with any enquiry!
And BOB is just a so bloomin' convenient way to shower!

Hey Steve,

Grand master?! That’s it, we’re framing this one!

We’re so happy to hear the new formula is hitting the mark and bringing all those extra suds and it’s also brilliant that Bob is making things even easier for you too.

Your kind words about our team really mean a lot, we always aim to be as helpful (and human!) as possible.

Thanks again for your soapport, it genuinely makes our day!

Much love,
Bob

Great Idea but not value for money

Bars do not last long so I am guessing this was the idea all along for return business

Hey Trevor,

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, we really appreciate the honesty.

We’re sorry to hear the bars aren’t lasting as long as you expected. On average, the Bob community gets around 10 to 15 washes per bar, but that can vary depending on things like how long you shower for, how much you use, and even how hairy you are. If you’re getting through them quicker than that, it sounds like you might be one of our super washers.

For those who do get through bars a bit faster, we’ve introduced our bundles, including a 3 month soapscription where you receive 4 refills, that’s 8 bars, every 3 months with a nice discount. It’s a handy way to stay stocked up while bringing the cost down a bit.

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

The item isn’t great

The item isn’t great. To replace soap with this bar limits your cleaning habits. How do you even clean your bits with a silly block like this. Used it for 3 days and the lid didn’t fit on it any more and now I’ve stopped using it all together.
Pointless item, there is a reason why a bar of soap has been around since 2800 BC.

Hey Gerard,

Thanks for giving Bob a try, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, even when we haven’t quite hit the mark for you.

We hear you on the switch from traditional soap. It’s definitely a different approach, and it’s not designed to change your cleaning habits, just to make them a bit more convenient and less messy where it does fit well. For more targeted washing, you can absolutely still use it in a way that works for you, hands, direct application or even alongside your usual routine. There’s no “one right way” here.

On the lid not fitting after a few days of use, that’s not something we’d expect to happen, so we’d be interested to take a closer look behind the shower curtain at what’s going on here. If you still have it, could you send us a few photos to info@welcometobob.com? We’d be happy to investigate this further for you.

We really get that not every product is for everyone, even ones with ancient competition. Soap’s had a good run since 2800 BC, fair play to it.

Much love,
Bob

Good soap, a bit too expensive

The bristled on my bar are bent after like less than one bars use, i also think the refills are fairly expensive and that would put me off buying more

Hey Tyler,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us, we really appreciate it.

We’re sorry to hear about the bristles bending after such a short time, that’s definitely not the experience we want for you. If you haven’t already, please do drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll be more than happy to take a closer look and get that sorted for you.

We also understand your thoughts on the refill pricing. We always aim to balance quality and value, but feedback like this is really important and helps us keep improving. If you’re using Bob regularly, our bundles and soapscriptions can help bring the overall cost down a bit and keep you stocked up.

Thanks again for giving Bob a try and for sharing your thoughts with us, it genuinely helps us do better.

Much love,
Bob

Great idea but doesnt work

Service delivery and packaging superb, looks a premium product and was impressed.

Using however found it so much harder to use than shower gel, so hard to build up a soap, awkward to use. Gave up using the outer plastic and just used the individual soap bars.

Hey Dave,

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback, we really appreciate it.

We’re really glad to hear the service, delivery, and packaging made a strong first impression; that premium feel is something we put a lot of thought into.
We’re sorry to hear you found it harder to use than shower gel and tricky to build up a lather with the applicator. There is a bit of a learning curve at first, and making sure both your skin and the bar are properly wet, along with a few presses of the + button and some firm circular motions, usually helps get a good lather going.

That said, there’s absolutely no problem using the bars on their own if that’s what works best for you, whatever gets you the best experience in the shower.

If you ever want a hand getting the most out of the applicator, feel free to drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com, we’re always happy to help.
Thanks again for your honest feedback, it really helps us improve.

Much love,
Bob

An amazing company

An amazing company!

I've been using Bob for wuite a while now and was having issues with my applicator. I got in touch with them and they were swift with their response. They were able to help me out with my issue and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They listen to your concerns and help you out.

Also a bonus the soap all smell amazing! ;)

Hey James,

This is such a great review to read, thank you so much.

We’re really glad you’ve been part of the Bob crew for a while now, and even more so that the team could step in quickly and get your applicator issue sorted. That’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to deliver.

It means a lot to hear that you felt listened to and supported, that’s a big one for us. And we’ll absolutely take the bonus points for the great smelling soap as well.

Thanks again for the recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience, it really means a lot to the whole team.

Meh not great

Meh, the idea is good but the experience of the product isn’t great. The soap refills are tiny, and I have only managed to get one to last one week maximum. They lather well but also reduce really quickly. The product has a step system to release the soap, but towards the end it just flings the soap out. Leaving you with a tiny amount of soap in your hand. It would of been better to put a screw system on it, like most other refill products on the market. I wanted to like this product but the refills are too expensive for how quickly they run out.

Hey Adam,

Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, we really appreciate it.

We’re sorry to hear the experience hasn’t quite lived up to expectations, especially when you were keen to like it. It’s great to hear the lather is working well, but we understand the frustration around how quickly the bars are running out and the way the applicator behaves towards the end.

On average, our Bob community gets around 10 to 15 washes per bar, but that can vary depending on things like how long you shower for and how much product you’re using. It does sound like you might be getting through them quite quickly, and we completely understand how that can impact the overall value.

Your feedback on the step system is really helpful too. We’re always looking at ways to improve the design and usability, so insights like this genuinely make a difference.

If you’re open to it, we’d love to learn a bit more and see if there’s anything we can do to help. Feel free to drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll do our best to make things right.

Thanks again for giving Bob a go and for sharing your honest thoughts.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and you’re definitely not alone here, there’s a bit of a knack to getting the most out of Bob at first.

For the best lather, make sure both your skin and the bar are properly wet, then give the + button a few presses to bring a bit more soap through. Using a bit of pressure and scrubbing in circular motions should help build up a nice foam.

Once it clicks, it really clicks.

If you’re still having trouble, feel free to drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll happily help you get the best out of it.

Much love,
Bob

Disappointing

Disappointed- idea good, execution poor. The soaps are not perfumed strongly enough, they do not lather and the applicator is uncomfortable to use. After 2 weeks of trying, have reverted to shower gel and Manscaped body scrubber.

Hey Paul,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re really sorry to hear that your experience with Bob has been disappointing.

We understand that scent strength, lather, and overall feel are all really personal, and it sounds like the experience wasn’t quite right for you. We’ve worked hard to keep the fragrances balanced and the ingredients skin friendly, but we appreciate that this can sometimes come across as more subtle than expected.

We’re also sorry to hear the applicator felt uncomfortable to use, that’s certainly not what we want for our customers.

If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate the chance to learn a bit more and see if there’s anything we can do to help. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll do our best to make things right.

Thanks again for giving Bob a try and for sharing your honest thoughts.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, although we’re really sorry to hear you’ve had a frustrating experience.

The holder definitely shouldn’t be constantly falling off, and we understand how annoying that must be in the shower. Like all suckers, Bob’s shower mount suckers only stick to glass or shiny tiles, so this could be why it’s not holding as expected. We are working hard behind the shower curtain to develop an adhesive accessory for the shower mount to make things more reliable across different surfaces.

The applicator should also feel easy to use, even when things are wet and soapy, so we appreciate you calling this out as well.

We’d really like to help get this sorted for you. If you can, please drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com, and we can look into what’s going on and find a solution for you.

Thanks again for your honesty; it genuinely helps us improve.

Much love,
Bob

Massively over engineered and underwhelmed

Massively underwhelmed by this and the soap holder is over engineered for what soap needs to be.
The soap did not lather and the bristles did nothing to aid the cleaning process.

Hey Alex,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re really sorry to hear Bob didn’t live up to expectations.

We understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to lather and how much exfoliation they’re after, and it sounds like we may have missed the mark for you here. That said, we really appreciate the honest feedback as it helps us continue to improve both the product and the overall experience.

If you’re open to it, we’d love to learn a bit more about your experience and see if there’s anything we can do to help. Feel free to drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll do our best to make things right.

Bob Customer Service

So I had an issue with my Bob Applicator, the bristles have started to fall off. I contacted Bob customer service, via the contact us page, Bob replied the same day, I sent some photos of the issue and have received an email confirming a replacement is on the way. All within 24 hours which included a Sunday.

My experience with Bob: I really enjoy using bob its easy, convenient and supports my dyspraxia in everything being one product less stuff to remember and easy to use and coordinate. Since the team behind the shower curtain made it with more lather it’s even better than the first bar and I’m enjoying trying the different scents.

Thank you Bob very much appreciated.

Hey Mark,

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We’re really glad to hear our team was able to get things sorted quickly for you, even over a Sunday. That’s exactly the kind of support we aim to provide, so it’s brilliant to know it made a difference.

Even better to hear that Bob is making things easier and more convenient for you day to day. Knowing it helps keep things simple and supports you in that way genuinely means a lot to us. And we’re really happy you’re enjoying the updated higher lather bars and exploring the different scents too.

Thanks again for your kind words and support, it truly means a lot to the whole team.

Great soap not so great applicator.

Great soap, but the applicator lets it down. The soap itself works much better when used with a scrunchie. Unfortunately, the applicator tray doesn’t stay attached and keeps falling off, which is frustrating.

Hey Richard,

Thanks for taking the time to review Bob, and we’re sorry to read that you were let down by the applicator and shower mount.

The shower mount works best on smooth, dry surfaces such as glass and tile. However, we’re developing a new suction pad that will adhere to a wider range of surfaces. It’s currently in testing and will be launched this year.

In the meantime, here’s a video of our co-founder Mike, that may help with setting up your shower mount: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTCa2jKLugU. If it’s still not sticking, then it may be due to the surface type you are trying to stick to.

Please pop us an email at info@welcometobob.com, if you’re open to it. We’d love to understand a little more about your experience and see if we can help you in getting a better wash with Bob.

Much love,
Bob

Thanks so much for sharing your first impressions, we’re really glad to hear it’s off to a good start.

Making the switch from shower gel can take a little getting used to, but it sounds like you’re settling in nicely. Once you’re fully in the groove, there’s no looking back.

Absolutely love this product

Absolutely love this product, Although I've had two black bobs that the bristles started to break off in the shower. I now have an orange one and so far so good no bristles breaking off.
The new high lathering bars only last me a week, whereas the old formula lasted 2 weeks, so I will likely be ordering every 6weeks rather than every 12 weeks

Hey Steven,

Thanks so much for the love, we’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying Bob overall.

We really appreciate you flagging the issue with Bob's bristles as well, that’s not the experience we want for you. It’s good to hear your orange one is behaving itself, but if you ever run into issues again please do drop us a message at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll get that sorted for you.

Thanks as well for the feedback on the new bars. On average, our Bob community gets around 10 to 15 washes per bar, but that can vary depending on how long you shower for and how generous you are with it. It does sound like you might be one of our super washers, keeping things very thorough.

We do offer bundles and soapscriptions which can help keep you stocked up (and save a few pennies) if you’re getting through them a bit quicker.

Hey Jack,

We love the honesty here, thank you for that.

It’s great to hear Bob has converted you to the world of soap and even better that you’re getting a clean, fresh feel without any irritation or itching.

Also, we’re going to assume you meant “lovely and clean” but we’re equally happy to have you feeling “lonely and clean” if that’s the vibe.

Thanks so much for the recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience, it really means a lot.
