the only iteration

its amazing the only iteration I see in the design is to have one more level to press so th last few cm of soap can be used. it is very frustrating that you have to take it out before it is completely finished

Hey Hakan,

Thanks so much for your positive feedback. Great to hear you’re loving Bob!
Really appreciate you calling this out as well. We completely get how frustrating it can be not being able to use every last bit of the bar, especially when you’re so close to the end.

A little tip that can help here is to get Bob nice and wet, apply a bit more pressure, and use firm circular motions. This usually helps you get the most out of those final bits of the bar before needing to swap it out.

As a new startup we are learning every day and feedback like this genuinely helps shape what comes next, so thank you for taking the time to share it.

Happy lathering, we’re always here if you need us.

Much love,
Bob

A good idea but...z

A good idea but unfortunately I found the soap bars only lasted a couple of days and so was have to replace them at least twice a week. I purchased the "3 Month" option and will be lucky if they last me half that time. The refills are too expensive for this to be sustainable. Also the soap itself doesn't lather well and the fragrance is far too subtle.
Nice concept but terrible value for money

Hey Adam,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re really glad to hear the concept resonated, but sorry to read that the performance and value haven’t quite lived up to expectations for you.

In terms of longevity, our community typically tells us that Bob bars last around 10 to 15 washes, but this can vary depending on how long you wash for and how much product is being used. We recently moved to a UK supplier in Scotland, with a focus on creating bars that are more moisturising and lather rich, but that can sometimes mean they wear down a little quicker depending on usage.

On the lather side, Bob can take a little getting used to as it’s a completely new way to wash. A quick, firm circular motion with the applicator usually helps build the lather up properly before spreading. We’ve also recently upgraded the formula to improve both lather and scent strength, so it should feel more noticeable than earlier versions.

When it comes to pricing, we completely understand your point. We’re not the cheapest on the market as we focus on high quality ingredients and UK manufacturing, but we are actively working on ways to improve value. Our bundles are one of the ways we try to make things more cost effective over time.

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 what we can do to soapport you, feel free to email us at info@welcometobob.com.

Much love,
Bob

I have to say I am disappointed with the product I really wanted it to work but I can seem to get the soap to work very well. I keep having to take the spring side out to push the soap through more.
It feels like the soap round the edges stops it moving up with the spring.

Hey Paul,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Although we’re gutted to hear that Bob hasn’t quite worked as you’d hoped, we really appreciate you sharing your experience.

It sounds like the bar may be catching slightly as it moves through the applicator, which definitely is not what we want for you. Bob can take a little getting used to as it’s a completely new way to wash, but you shouldn’t be needing to take it apart mid shower.

A quick tip that can help is making sure the bar and applicator are both properly wet before use, as this helps everything glide a bit more smoothly. A firm circular motion can also help get things moving and build a better lather. That said, what you’re describing sounds like something we’d really like to take a closer look at.

As a new startup we are learning every day and feedback like this genuinely helps us improve both the product and the experience.

If you’re open to it, please email us at info@welcometobob.com with a few more details and we’ll do everything we can to get this sorted for you.

Much love,
Bob

The bars were great at first and lasted anywhere between 10–14 washes. However, since the formula changed to make them lather more, I’ve found they now only last around 6–7 washes on average, which doesn’t feel like the best value for money.

I do appreciate that they introduced the 4-scent subscription pack for around £24 for 3 months, but my set ran out with about a month and a half still to go, which was disappointing.

Hey Sudip,

We really appreciate your honest feedback.

Our community tells us that Bob bars last between 10 and 15 washes, but we are constantly reviewing this. We recently moved to a UK supplier based in Scotland. The new bars 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.

As you mentioned in your review, we recently introduced Bob bundles to tackle that issue. Our Bob bundle offers more refills at a discounted cost, ensuring that you have enough bars to last every month, while still saving some money in the process. With that said, 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.

We know how important value is, and we'd love to see if there's anything we can do to see if there’s anything we can do to keep you washing with Bob. Please drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com, and we'll do our best to soapport you.

Much love,
Bob

Hey Donovan

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

We’re really sorry to hear that you didn’t get the lather you were hoping for.

We’ve recently upgraded our formula to deliver a richer lather and stronger scent. 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

If you’ve watched the tutorial, and still find you're not getting the lather you hoped for, feel free to pop us an email at info@welcometobob.com and we can soapport you.

Great idea but not for me.

Great idea and I thought I'd be all in. Almost ordered the biggest bundle available to get me going. Glad I didn't. I ordered the sample 2 bar starter. Feel like I'm getting clean, but not as much as I expected and not getting as much of a lather from the soap as I hoped. Certain areas were tough on my skin with both bars of soap. I've since reverted back to liquid shower gel and feel my skin is happier for it.
Great idea and product was okay, just not for me.

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for sharing your experience with Bob.

Bob can take a little getting used to, as it’s a completely new way to wash. For anyone struggling with lather, a small tweak in technique usually does the trick. A quick, firm circular motion with the applicator builds the lather up properly, then you can spread it from there.

We’ve recently upgraded our formula to deliver a richer lather and stronger scent. Because our bars are made with naturally derived ingredients, they can feel a little different from standard supermarket soaps, but we know how important a good lather is.

If you get a couple of minutes to watch it, we'd love to know if you're getting the same amount of lather as they do in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKlow_nx5rM

Regarding the applicator being touched on your skin. We suspect that this is because not enough lather is being generated for it to smoothly glide over your skin.

If you’ve watched the tutorial and still not getting enough lather, please pop us an email at info@welcometobob.com and we will be happy to soapport you further.

The concept is an amazing idea

The concept is an amazing idea, but I personally don’t feel like I get enough soup.

I’ve been pushing the deep bar up, but due the design it goes back down to it designed position.

I feel like I’m washing myself with plastic and not soup.

I like the small of the soup and the idea of the system, I just personally think it needs a height adjustable system similar to Fussy.

Hey Shane,

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

We’re glad you like the concept and the scent, that’s a great start, but we’re sorry to hear the experience hasn’t quite matched up for you. It sounds like you’re not quite getting enough soap through the applicator, which can definitely affect the whole wash.

Bob can take a little getting used to, and getting the most out of it usually comes down to a combination of using the + button to bring more soap through, along with applying a bit more pressure and using firm circular motions to build up a proper lather. Once that clicks, it should feel a lot less like plastic and a lot more like a proper wash.

That said, we completely understand your point around the design and control of the bar height, and feedback like this is really valuable as we continue to develop and improve the product.

We genuinely appreciate your feedback, so thank you for sharing. If you’re open to it, we’d love to help you get a better experience with Bob, feel free to drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com and we’ll happily soapport you.

Nice try, but no cigar

Ok, I’ve given it a go. I was desperate to like this product as I thought it had potential. However, I just can’t get on with it. First off the bat, the holster suction cups wouldn’t stick to the tiles. Unless they are glassy smooth, it won’t work. The main gripe however, is that the soap just doesn’t lather up enough. You have to work really hard to get any kind of lather and this can be quite uncomfortable. (I do live in a hard water area though). In doing so, you constantly need to click the applicator so more soap protrudes to the face, because as soon as it gets worn flush, it won’t work. As the refills are so small, it needs refilling after about 4 showers, especially as the last 1/4 inch won’t protrude enough to use it. You’ll need to take a few boxes with you if you go away and have them at arms reach. It’s a neat idea, but it just isn’t practical. I’m going to be cancelling my subscription I’m afraid.

Hey David,

Thanks so much for your honest feedback, we really appreciate you giving Bob a proper go and sharing such a detailed review.

We’re sorry to hear it hasn’t quite worked out as you’d hoped. It sounds like a few things got in the way of the experience, particularly with the lather, the mount, and the overall usability.

On the lather side, you’re absolutely right that hard water can make things a bit more tricky. Bob can take a little getting used to, and a firm circular motion with a bit more pressure, along with using the + button, usually helps build things up. That said, it shouldn’t feel like hard work or uncomfortable, so we hear you on that.

In terms of the bar lasting, our community typically gets around 10 to 15 washes per bar, but this can vary depending on usage and conditions like water type. If you’re getting significantly less than that, it does sound like you’re having to work the bar harder than expected, which links back to your lather point.

For the last bit of the bar, it can still be used, it just needs a bit more pressure and circular motion to get the most out of it.

Regarding the mount, you’re spot on, it works best on smooth, glass-like surfaces, and we know that’s not ideal for everyone. We’re currently working on improved solutions that will stick to a wider range of surfaces.

Ultimately, we are gutted to receive a 3 star review, especially as you really wanted to like Bob, but we completely understand your decision based on your experience.

If you’re open to it, we’d genuinely appreciate the chance to help improve things for you or talk through a few tips tailored to your setup. Feel free to drop us an email at info@welcometobob.com.

Bob

We’re so pleased to hear the team has been able to look after you, from getting that replacement applicator sorted to answering your questions. That’s exactly the kind of service we aim to deliver, so it means a lot to hear it’s landed well.

Not worth the extra money every month

I find it takes me longer to wash because it doesn't lather well. I've also found the cleansing power to be not as strong as cheaper body washes and each bar doesn't last long. However the applicator is nice and the body washes do smell nice.

Bob a sweat

Everything about bob is new and exciting there's loads of these soap companies out there now and I know I shopped around. And I can say with my hand on my heart your the first in bringing out not just the soap. But the actual machine or gadget for the soap and I love it. Because when you have finished showering. You can just put it into it's holder so it becomes nice and dry. And if you're going away or going to be staying out it's so easy and small to just pop it into your sports bag and off you pop with your bob.

Hey Gary,

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

We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the soap, but sorry that the dispenser hasn’t quite worked for you. Getting a good lather can sometimes take a little getting used to with the applicator. Using the + button to release a bit more soap and applying a bit more pressure while scrubbing in circular motions usually helps build up a much better lather.

That said, if using it in your hand is what works best for you, that’s absolutely fine too, whatever gets you the best result.

If you’d like any tips or want us to talk you through getting the most out of the dispenser, 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 keep improving.

Soap quality isn’t what it used to be! Love the concept and convenience, but got to say the quality has deteriorated since moving to the new supplier! The bars lather up well but at the expense of value for money. The bars only last a good week when showering daily, so value has dropped significantly!

Hey Stephen,

We appreciate your feedback and it’s great to hear you’re enjoying the concept and the convenience of Bob.

On longevity, most of our community tends to get around 10 to 15 washes per bar, though that can vary quite a bit depending on things like shower length, how frequently it’s used, water conditions and even personal factors like hair and skin type.

If you’re finding a bar is lasting around a week with daily showers, you may well be on the higher-usage end of the spectrum (what we sometimes call the “super washer” category). That would naturally bring the usage count down compared to the average.

We completely understand that value for money is important, which is why we also offer Bob bundles, designed to give you more refills at a better price so you can stay stocked up while saving a bit in the process.

If you’d like help figuring out the best setup for your routine, or if anything feels off with your experience, feel free to reach out to us at info@welcometobob.com.
