In this review, we are checking out the GoToob+ liquid travel containers from HumanGear. For the Pack Hacker veterans out there, you’ll probably remember our old review of the original GoToobs-this is the next iteration, and they’ve made some nice improvements on their original model. Let’s check it out.
One thing you’ll notice right off the bat is that the GoToob+ comes in a bunch of different sizes and colors. There’s kind of a ridiculous amount of colors, actually-so if you’re really into customizing your toiletries or you want to match these to your packing cubes, you’re in luck.
While you can organize your liquids by color, we really like using the label system that HumanGear has put on these. Organizing by color sounds great until you’re up at 4 AM, getting ready to catch your 6:00AM flight. “Okay, the red one is face wash. Or wait… was it hand lotion?”
The GoToob+ also come in a variety of sizes. There’s small, medium and large (1.7, 2.5, and 3.4 ounces, respectively). We’ve mainly been testing the 3.4 ounce size as that is the maximum amount of liquid you can carry on a flight. We’re into one bag travel here-checking bags is literally the worst-so we’re going to stay away from the larger, 6 oz size. This could be a useful size for camping or something, but we haven’t personally found much use for it. Maybe you could fill it with pancake batter and make some cool pancake designs?
And if you are someone who likes having tubes of pancake batter on hand, you’re in luck because these are all made of FDA approved, food-safe silicone. So you actually can put food products in there… If that’s your thing.
The GoToob+ is a nice upgrade from the original GoToob, but still shares many similarities. Major upgrades include the use of food-grade silicone, a new LoopLock™ system, and a nicer labeling system. While many users have reported durability problems with the caps, we’ve found that as long as you’re somewhat careful you should be okay. At the end of the day, these containers do a great job of holding liquids and preventing leaks-pretty much everything you want out of a TSA-approved liquid container!

WHOOPS! I meant "low viscosity" when talking about the water & stability of the flat bottom. I hope we can still be friends 🙃
Tom Wahlin I was about to drop such a clever comment lol
I will have to think about it.
good, you owned it. the healing can begin.
GoToob+ - we use these as our main travel bottles (for all liquids, including hand sanitiser) and the caps on the newer models seem to be working a whole lot better. No leaks, none of them have broken or cracked. Just wish a wider range of colours was still available (as we colour-code based on contents rather than labelling them).
Thanks for sharing your system with us, Epp-Kristiina! Color-coding your GoToobs is an awesome way to stay organized when you're on the road. Glad to hear they're working so well for you despite the lack of colorways currently in stock.

Great and comprehensive review. It is such a relief having a one stop place to find travel gear that is good quality and durable. I really trust your reviews and greatly value this channel. Thanks guys.
Great to hear, paul! We try our very best! 👍😄
-Hannah
HOW ARE YOU GUYS NOT BLOWING UP YETT?? 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Uyên! Maybe soon - we'll see :)
I have the suckshin cups on mine, they are unless in the shower. ALWAYS drops off the wall, I love the bottles through. We travel full time in our RV and have tried showers all over the United States. nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us RVing Live The Dream - it sounds like these GoToob+ containers have been through a lot of testing! 🙌👍😊

I've been using Humangear GoToobs and the GoTubbs. Wouldn't travel without them. I've been using mine since 2013 and they still function as new.
If I had to choose which one I like the most I would choose the GoTubbs. They hold a lot and seal even tighter and are very easy to clean. I use mine for hair products I need to dip my fingers into.
I appreciate your review. Now I know I can just keep the ones I have!😂
The GoTubbs are great! Awesome to see you've had some great durability with them too.
Pack Hacker And as you pointed out, they are hair/lint attractors. That would be my only con on the GoToobs.
Indeed!
Thanks for posting, I really enjoy your reviews! I've used the 89 ml (3 fl oz) GoToob for a few months now and I am really satisfied. Have yet to encounter any problems with the cap as mentioned in the review. The product works really great and fits perfectly in my transparent and TSA approved carry on washbag from Osprey. Ziplock bags are a thing of the past now, right? :)
Great to hear it's working out for you Per-Ola! Yeah, Ziplocs are a little "meh" :)
how long does the 3oz bottle last for body wash or shampoo if being used once a day?
I don't get why companies don't make these square or rectangular so they take up half the amount or room in your bag. Ikea is the only company who seems to have figured this out.
Nalgene does.
How can we properly clean a go toob if i wanna put food (lets say condiments) in a container if it previously had something like shampoo or lotion or vice versa?
I am leaving for a trip in a week. I cant decide between the 2.5oz or 3.4oz options for my bodywash, shampoo, and conditioner. How long would the medium last if taking one shower a day?
“Milk for your cereal”. COUNT ME IN.
Had a set of the + toobs for a few months fro REI. Rubbing alcohol has been stored in one for several weeks. No issues yet. What I do not like about the new dispenser valve is how much pressure is required to get anything out. Usually ends up splooshing a large amount of contents all over. I’ve used four + toobs for alcohol, witch hazel, Bronner’s soap, and a moisturizer. Inconvenient and sloppy and impossible to get a small amount without taking off the lid. Which is just silly. I’ll be going back to my old squeeze bottles that have the ancient lift up tube valve.
Hey David-thanks for sharing your detailed thoughts!
Interesting that you can store rubbing alcohol in them-great testing!

Hi Packhacker. i am afraid that the piece between the cap and the actual bottle 'the hinge' will break after opening and closing the cap to often how do you feel about this? right now i have some off brand bottles and they have the same issue.
We have used these for years and haven't had an issue yet! 👍
-Hannah
hm i think ill get them. i really enjoy your site i wish i could contribute or work together with you.
@@robhartman01 Stay tuned for opportunities!
-Hannah
Hi Tom. its me again. right now i am having some off brand go(o)toob bottles. what do you think about these being less durable than the original ones? please share your opinion bro. tnx
Hi het zalwel, we really love the GoToob+'s. They're been holding up great for us!
-Hannah
great just ordered them. i just want quality gear. 4 days ago i received the kikkerland adapter im very happy with it.. it seems indeed its a very solid adapter and tiny i think with all my stuff im able to get it down to 5 kg.. lol :)))))) my main concern is just the power adapter. will the anker 10.000 be enough or do i need the 20.000. i have a great tip. packhacker.com should implement a 'chat function'
okay. great do you have some tips for online chat community for digital nomads? nomadlist? i just want to meet likeminded people
@@robhartman01 Good stuff Het! If you have extra space and concern, go with the bigger battery bank! You should be able to get 2-4 charge cycles out of the 10k though and I think the size is quite packable.
- Tom
@@robhartman01 - nomadlist has a pretty great slack community!

This was great, but it would also help if you mention the actual specific TSA rules for liquid carry on. I found out that one can bring a quart bag full of these gootubes. Do other countries have other restrictions?
Hey Matt - we've found that this can really differ depending on which country you are visiting or leaving so we always recommend checking with the guidelines of that specific country. You can also check out our blog on the Best Solid Toiletries For Travel packhacker.com/blog/general/the-best-solid-toiletries-for-travel/ to see how you can travel liquid-free. 😊

I love the Gotoob+ the only problem was don't use moroccan argan oil in them as it burnt through the bottle. I didn't send it back as it wasn't worth the postage. just bought another one as these are excellent. I also use the small and medium round containers and the spoons.
Hey Debbie - we're glad that the GoToobs are working for you! And, thanks for sharing your experience with us. It's interesting to hear that they weren't able to hold Argan Oil, that's very useful info for our community! 👍
- Rebecca
What do you mean by the oil "burnt through the bottle"?
Did you heat it up before filling?
Huge favor if possible. What are the dimensions of the plus and how many fit in a quart carry on?
Hey M E Koskey! You can fit 4 of the 3.4 ounce toobs into a quart carry-on. We have the dimensions listed in our full review here! packhacker.com/travel-gear/humangear/gotoob-plus/ - Good luck!
M E Koskey just google it.
my Ikea $2.99 4 pack is my go-to tube good quality 100ml no need to waste $.
Thanks for the insight 😃

Frustrated with the fact that these are so hard to clean.Not sure I want to invest in them if they are basically one use.
We’ve had good luck using our fingers to dig in there and clean them out. It comes at varying difficulty depending on the products at hand and how long it’s been there. Thanks for watching, and we hope this helped!
-Eric
Seems like a totally generic product, just like the other 1000 similar. Why don't they make the effort to actually design them to maximize space efficiency and ease of packing. IMO it should have a flattened rectangular shape - rectangular to maximize space use, and flattened to fit into those plastic pouches.
They squirt. I hate that
Have you ever noticed that, when you speak, you say the word "do" a lot more than is necessary? E.g. "you DO have a carousel here..." and "and get every little piece out that you DO wanna get out".
Huh - never noticed that before - thanks for the feedback timtamothy21!
Naw man you're good, you keep asking us questions which keeps it engaging!
Thanks Kin! It's people like you that make the Pack Hacker community awesome!
?????🧐 you must be a blast at parties pointing out everyone’s individualities.
Your Ego - 😂
I don't know why, but I always thought that these were called GoobTubes. D'oh.
Not a bad name, honestly 😃 Thanks for watching, Michelle!
