i rub mine between my hands and then apply, so I could use it in multiple forms- a squeeze bottle,a push up stick like elf creamblushes, a deoderant tube, a bar. I DO care that it can still be used in the shower because i won't use it outside the shower.

Oh a deodorant tube sounds great: don't have to handle the bar with wet hands, and can be cap'd for shower storage. I vote for that one :D

For what it is worth , considering I don't have the gumball of the lotion bar as a reference, Ilona at Cocoa Pink used to make something she called shower butter, that I assume was similar ( although she stated to rinse her product off) I never did as I found it to be more moisturinzing if I didn't. She packaged it in a wide mouth jar, I loved the jar, and used a small plasitc spoon to scoop out what I needed. I have a problem squeezing bottles, esp. if they are wet as I have arthritis in my hands and they don't always work really well in the mornings in before meds. So unless you tell me that bottle is really easy to squeeze, I vote a jar or the bar.

I have to say I have been waiting for this product I have one and am going to try it tonight as soon as I get out of the bath. I would prefer it to be in bar or deodrant form because otherwise it would just be kind of like a lotion...at least that is how I am taking it if it is in a bottle??? I too will not use this if we can't use it in the shower I prefer the quick and simple way putting it on in the shower and just being all moisturized when I step out of the shower... I am so excited and know that I will love this product... I love all of Karen's bath products and wish she would make more! Thanks for listening to us!

I live in NZ, (summer, but not as hot as Australia) and mine made it to me fine, and seems to be OK. I forgot to take it into the shower this morning, so I haven't actually tried it.
I would prefer a bar, it just seems easier somehow. I would like it if it came in a little case (and maybe you could get foil rapped refills? So it wouldn't melt in the shower.

I didn't get it because I'm in Australia - and with the heat we've had the last week or so, it WOULD have melted, lol. I'd love to see it in another form so I could get it safely, but honestly most of the ideas sound good to me...I probably like the deoderant stick idea the best.

I vote for either a plastic case to keep it in, or the deoderant stick. My only concern was it melting in the shower and if I can't leave it in the shower chances are I will forget to take it with me.

I really like the idea of a deodorant stick. I use a solid lotion in a deodorant stick right now but I find it a bit sticky and hard to spread, too solid I guess.

I know this should go in the wish lists section of the site but.. I would love.. love.. a spray lotion. I've been obsessed with them since I was a kid. They're so easy to use and require very little rubbing and are always really light on the skin. Problem is I can never find a natural one.

I'm with Jen! Was thinking of tins like Vaseline tins, but a deo stick would be good too. It would be great while travelling for those of us who strive not to check luggage in as it would circumvent the liquid rules. =D

I just used my gumball and loved it!
I would definitely purchase it if it was sold permanently...
I'd love to see it in a deodorant stick as well.
Sounds good to me.
