great for travel [SEP] as most have said here these are great for travel especially when you can t find soap around but have water though i wouldn t carry a bar of soap i have used travel size body wash as a hand soap if it cleans the body should clean the hands rightanyway the metal container i got was dented but that is okay as i don t intend to travel where i won t have soap so i m using these at my bathroom sinklet me state this as a warning hands must be dry before grabbing a soap sheeti know all caps is yelling but trust me it is for a very good reason as one reviewer said even a drop of water can damage thesebasically i grab a one with dry hands hold it in palm turn water on let it dissolve good lather i don t really smell a scent hands wash clean they don t dry out but i do use a moisturizing sanitizer and hand lotion afteri wouldn t say these go years if you re like me and using them as an alternative to other hand soaps to preserve waste they might last about a month washes per day days if only as travel backup they might last a few years again it depends on how they re usedi personally find them a bit on the pricey side at almost before tax that s just mei do have other soaps and these should last me a while i would not recommend them as a body wash as opposed to carrying a bar of soap try a travel container with body wash just my suggestion
