Love this stuff!
The only thing I would change is the package. I would like it to be water tight.

great idea. impossible to wash off
Great idea but it's very difficult to wash this off with limited water. You'll need a lot of water from your jug to do so, so impractical.

Super Delicate Plastic Container

The sheets themselves work great. My issue is with the packaging. The first time I opened the little plastic container the lid completely broke off. It will be hard to keep the little sheets in the container with the lid, or keep them from getting wet now.

Love these!

Amazing addition to my backpacking/hiking gear! I wear contacts and like to have clean hand when putting them in. These little paper soaps are the perfect amount of soap, and with a little water, I get super clean hands. Also, great for any washing, and you can rip a paper in half if you just want a little soap.

Get two and always have extra

I keep one of these in my pocket when camping. I keep one in my desk or pocket when I'm at work. I can't tell you the number of times I've used the washroom at work or a restaurant and there's no soap in the dispenser--so I have it here. Easy-easy-easy to use, consider making this a part of of your everyday carry.

Lightweight!

I am trying to go ultra light as a backpacker and this looks like it can really help. I tried one in the sink at home and it worked well. Based on other review comments, a partial sheet may be enough and easier to wash back off. We should all be washing our hands more often and this product can help.

Poor for the backcountry

Light, but not good for backpacking. We have purchased a fragrance-free version, but this one isn't clear in stating that it is lavender-scented. Why would any company make a product with a strong fragrance to take into the backcountry?

Wash your hands!

I'm allergic to most artificial colors and fragrances. I can carry these "soap leaves" around in my pocket and always have soap with me. When I'm traveling somewhere that doesn't always have soap, I'm prepared. At music festivals, I can always wash my hands.

"Use for bathing with a wet towelette"

Use it for getting a quick bath while out backpacking. I place a leaf on a small light wet towelette and it gets nice and sudsy. Also keep a little wet cloth or towlette in a plastic snack bag and use a leaf as needed for hygene on the trail. It is ultra light and great for use on long wilderness treks where water is often scarce.

great and portable product for pandemic times

I carry this in my fanny pack everyday. Many park bathrooms don't have soap. Purell is ok in a pinch but with COVID these days nothing beats a good hand scrub. I put a sheet in my hand, add a little water, let it soak for a few seconds, then wash my hands as usual. Excellent stuff!

Great for traveling off the beaten path

I love this soap. It fits nicely in any pocket and has a nice clean smell. I've used it when travelling to a number of places where I wasn't sure what facilities would be available. My only Con is that if you try to desolve it in the palm of your hand with water, it is very difficult to rinse off completely.
