GoToobs Are they good or bad?

Has anyone used GoToobs? How many can fit in the 3-1-1 bag for carryons? Anybody have problems with them leaking or etc?

A friend of mine had some. I think they're an enormous waste of money. They work, but not any better than the travel bottles you get at Target for 1/10 of the price. They also have a weird smell that doesn't seem to go away.

I've been very happy with mine and found them a lot easier to fill than regular travel bottles because of the wide opening and easier to use because they're squeezable, whereas most low-cost bottles are thin but fairly rigid plastic, so it can be hard to get thick liquids like conditioner out. I've never noticed a weird smell with mine. Maybe they smelled when I first got them, but definitely not now. Plus I haven't had one leak yet - not something I can say for the cheapo bottles. I travel a lot, so they see a lot of use.

OP - I usually carry 2 (shampoo and conditioner) in my kippie bag because the 3rd (lotion) means I can carry fewer other items. But 3 plus a tube of toothpaste, moisturizer, some lipgloss and maybe a nail polish fit fine.
