HANDSO Reviews 324

Handso is really easy to setup and use. I started with a soap I already had and knew lathered up well. Needed a few uses to get used to closing it without trapping the outer bristles.
Have noticed that it is a little difficult to get a continual stream of lather out from the soap to the bristles but hoping that this just needs "breaking in" and will get easier with time and use.

I'm already using soaps instead of shower gels, but handso definitely makes the experience nicer with the soft foam even shaving your legs is much better.

My 2 handso arrived but one was damaged during delivery and this was weds and I emailed right away to tell them and had no reply and again today still nothing. The communication is awful. I hope to hear back soon or I’ll have to escalate to my form of payment.

This thing is amazing, bought four, one for each family member (took so much to get them that now we are 5! :) ).
One of them, the middle circle mesh in the center, detached and I had to open up everything to place it in the right spot again; also, the outer bristles get caught in the cover, but I've managed to learn to do it properly.

Love the product, I'm ordering a bunch of them for friends and family. Really recommend this to everyone who wants to stop using shower gel and waste plastic.

I ordered the Handso because I wanted to stop buying loofas that were made from plastic that did nothing but go into a landfill never to decompose. I love the soaps we can get and the scrubbed feeling of the bristles on the Handso! I only have two minor complaints: the magnets do not stick well at all. Had to superglue one magnet to the Handso so it would stop coming off and the other part that is put to the wall only stayed up for about month and half before it started to peel off. Seems like the weight of the soap, coupled with constantly being exposed to warm, moist air has reduced the sticky factor of the magnet to the wall. The other issue, again minor, is that foamy-ness. One of the reasons I like using a loofa is it requires only a little soap to get super foamy and clean the whole body. I was hoping that Handso would do the same but it's not as foamy as I would have liked. Beyond these minor things I love the product, the soap is positively DIVINE and I'm really happy that I'm not adding to landfills anymore :-D

It took a while to come, thanks to covid . But it's great , more comfortable to use than a back brush or wash puff . Works great with a little warm water to add to the soap , to produce the lather for washing . Easy to empry & dry between uses . Love that i don't have to buy an extra soap tim for my body soap . Not a wash bag really just dry & go . I'm glad i backed the project , helpt get this product out for others to use & like .

A small, compact solution to improve the experience behind soap using. Take the soap bar to the next level and generate an rich, dense foam. A great product, very well engineered.

Dear Handso,

I am amazed by the concept, I bought 2 handso. The first is a good fit but the second one little bit off for the outer ring silicon.

I hope you improve the outer ring of silicon, when I closed the lid, the outer ring was often stuck. It is about tolerance and perfect cooling time to keep the product in good tolerance in plastic.

I backed Handso when it was still on kickstarter, and while it took them longer than expected to deliver the product, it is everything they promised. It is simple to use and works very well.

The foam it produces from the soap bar is abundant and good and the bristles are comfortable.

If anything at all could be improved I guess it would be so that the outer ring of bristles don’t get caught in the lid when closing it. But if you close it carefully, nothing gets caught.

Nice and easy to use soap bars with an extra of scrubing and bubbles! You can use it at home or on the go and it has really nice odour.

Excellent product. It has clear goals (reducing waste, making it easier to use and carry hand soaps) and it fulfils them.

Some details can be improved for a better functioning but I think it is a great project.

I bought Handso most of all for travelling and for this purpose, it's perfect as it doesn't get everything in my bag wet.
I also like the fact that I can clean really well under my nails.
To be improved: The widest brush circle is too close to the lid and gets trapped, I find the bristles a bit too harsh for my skin with just soap, so I use the hotel's shower gel and it's much smoother

Love this as a whole!
Great concept, I appreciate how easy it is to disassemble and replace parts. Unfortunately I didn't see the disassembly/reassembly video until I had already put the metal plate on the outside (incorrectly), leading it to repeatedly fall off (the stick didn't stick, and now isn't sticky anymore).

- The silicone bristles work great at making the soap foamy and at cleaning my face.
- The silicone bristles also are great (in a not so good way) at collecting my hair. But it's reasonably easy to wash out.
- The silicone lanyard is strong, smooth, and easy to handle.

Backed this on kickstarter, as I love using soap bars but find the gunky mess in the soap dish and issues carrying them are rather annoying. I really like the way that the product works, and I'm sure a few of the reported kinks and improvements will be taken into account by the team. I found the soap provided didn't lather as much as my usual and the bristles felt very "squeaky" when scrubbing, but once I added some of my usual soap to the container, it really improved the experience.

Really like the product. I have a few constructive critisism if Handso gets a version 2.0.

1- Water evacuation: I know that we are supposed to keep the cap half screwed to allow water to pour out of the slots. I just wish that there was a way to stop the lid from unscrewing completely. I do feel the notch when unscrewing the lid, but it is not enough.
2- Misplaced silicon seal: Once, when screwing the lid back on, the silicon seal intefered with the lid, allowing the water to flow out. It was difficult to adjust the silicon to allow the lid to close.

When I first received my Handso, I wasn't thrilled with it because I was finding it difficult to get a decent amount of lather when I used it. Fortunately, with a bit more use, I have fallen absolutely in love with this product! The hardest part was getting a new bar of soap started, but I find that wetting the Handso down and letting the soap sit in the water for a minute or two before I start using it helps immensely. I'm using far less soap now. Before, a standard bar of soap would last me 2-3 weeks. With Handso, the bars that I ordered along with mine are half the size of the bars I used to use--but one lasted more than two months. I'm washing a lot less wasted soap down the drain these days. The little silicon fingers are gentle and do a great job both lathering and exfoliating. This is also a GREAT way to use soap scraps so they don't crumble to nothing in your hand. (I know you can save the scraps and melt them down into new bars, but being able to skip doing that is really nice. Who has time?) This is a great alternative to body washes and the plastic "poofs" that never seem to last very long. I highly recommend.

I was looking forward to Hands with great excitement and was very happy when I finally received it. You have to learn how to use it, but afterwards it's a pretty cool little tool.
There were quite a few hoot owls in the Kickstarter comment section with lots of complaints. I didn't experience any of them. I let the soap soak for a bit before applying. I've found that if I put the soap in small chunks, it's stronger and forms more lather than if I just put in a larger chunk of soap.
I am happy with the product.

Such a lovely product that exceeded my expectations!

It creates plenty of soap, it's easy to use, soft on the skin, and easy to clean!

The soap that was included was amazing and smelled so good!

Bonus points for the fabulous colour and the convenience of taking it with me when I travel

I backed this on Kickstarter and having received it now I am pleased with my Handso. Easy to use and my only gripe is it doesnt foam as much as using a bar of soap in your hand. Probably just need to get use to using it and if you press the centre it does foam up a bit more. Quality and build is good as is the overall design
