Time Machine: Bubble Bottles
February 28th, 2009
Why this item stands out in a crowd?
You know the cheap travel bottles you buy at the drug store…they’re too small, made of cheap plastic and there is no way to tell what is what! Well, Paul Koh heard your prayers and created these ingenious companions to any vacation. You’ll never forget what you brought again and never have what you brought explode all over your luggage!
Why is this a Smart Buy?
Here comes a testimonial, I’ve used these for the past three weeks as I’ve been shuttling between NYC and Denver and they are marvelous! They are one of those rare design items that truly understands the meaning of being useful. These bottles will be part of your travel regime from now on…
Here’s me:
Its 7am – I have to LEAVE THE HOUSE at 7:20 if I want to get to DIA a paltry 45 minutes before my flight takes off.
The Hus is scowling b/c I blew him off last night when he suggested that maybe I should start packing.
I’m scowling because I thought somehow my favorite jeans would air dry by now when I pulled them out of the wash at 9:30 at night.
The dog is scowling because she got shafted out of her morning walk.
Here’s me in the bathroom, arms wet and goopy trying to size down my mega containers of shampoo and conditioner into a bottle that wont close properly and frankly, won’t allow me to retrieve said shampoo and conditioner when I want to wash my hair. (Envision that horrible slapping sound + grunting and swearing as you stand in a scalding hot shower trying desperately to using gravity and the palm of your hand to coerce a thick substance out of a small bottle.)
Here’s me in the hotel (again, swearing) as the stupid containers have leaked all over the damn clear plastic bag, and now I have NOTHING to wash my hair, unless I want to bring the whole lot in the shower with me, and wipe the mess off into my hands. Which I will do. And swear while doing it.
Now envision this. A small investment into these bubblicious silicone travel bottles will instantly eliminate the entire above scenario.
A-HA! They’re designed to actually SQUEEZE your shampoo out of the bottle!
A-HA! They have a nifty leak-proof stop which keeps liquids inside the bottle, even when they’re tipped upside down!
A-HA! They have a snap cap – further ensuring that no leaks will occur!
A-HA! They stand upside down, so your shamps and conditioners are at the spout, not the bottom!
A-HA! They are, seriously, incredibly cute and fun to play with.
Ok, so travelling-with-liquids-issue solved. Now I just need to learn to pack the night before.
Yeah right.

These are so cute! Makes me want to hop on a plane just so I can use them!

I think that in addition to these being great travel bottles that they would make great containers to transport salad dressing and etc in for lunches. Since they are food grade and are spill proof I think it would work perfect.
Another great product from Delight.com

These are very cute. they look like little lightbulbs. i was wondering if they came in any other colors so that i can tell my shampoos from my body wash.

Monica,
They don’t come in any other colors BUT if you bought two sets you could use the Rotating Icon System on the side of the bottles which allows you to identify what’s inside by a dot system. That’s what we’ve done!

Got these today and I can’t wait to use them!! I got two sets to cover the very essential shower gel and body lotion. I like the fact that the tops are attached and quick-close rubber valves. No waste, no goopy drips!!!

I’ve been going to get these Travel Bottles since they arrived at Delight. Now that I’m finally going out of town this weekend, I decided to snag them! I don’t know what I’m more excited about…going out of town or being able to use the bottles? Okay, that might not be the best comparison. But I REALLY DO LOVE the bottles!
Love,

I’ve tried a lot of travel bottles, but these are the first that actually worked! Seriously, no leaks but the shampoo comes out easily when I want it.

I travel every week for my job and have gone through a dozen travel bottles in the past year that no longer coordinate with my color code system or end up leaking all over my bag. These sound perfect, but how many can you fit in a quart size ziplock bag?

Hi Kaitlin,
So we just did a test at Delight HQ with a quart bag. I think that you would be safe with fitting 4 Bubble bottles in the quart bag.
Have a great day

Argh! I bought these from another Web site on FRIDAY (yes, two days ago) because I need them for a trip this THURSDAY. I paid more for the bottles, plus tax and shipping. I may order another set with your July 4th code just so I’m not in this bind again!!

Oh Lisa
Sorry to hear that the sale came 2 days late but really you can’t have too many of these Bubble Bottles on hand!

okay. i have to say, i use these STILL for my conditioner and lotions, BUT!!!! at one time I tried using one for my hair pomade- Bumble and Bumble’s Defrizz (the best product of all time). well, scary to say apparently defrizz works as a SOLVENT to the container!!!! the container pretty much expanded in size twice and COMBINED with the pomade!!! so um, don’t use it for pomade style hair gels!!!!

I have been a Road Warrior for years, and I can honestly say that after buying and tossing dozens upon dozens of travel bottles, these are the ONE AND ONLY keepers! The squeezable silicone makes it unnecessary to carry more product than needed just to be able to get enough out of the bottle. They are a little pricey, but their durability makes up for that tenfold.
