S3 Soap Dispenser



I received the S3 Soap Dispenser through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Stainless Steel 
  • Good capacity size
  • Clear body to see soap level
This soap dispenser is a nice looking and easy to use soap dispenser. 

The stainless steel sections on the soap dispenser and pump is made with a good stainless steel material that should help reduce the likeliness that it would ever rust.  It also give the soap dispenser a generic, yet modern, appearance that could fit with many decor styles. It could work in kitchens or bathrooms. 

The clear body is made out of plastic. The clear body provides the ability to see what the soap level is inside the soap dispenser. The plastic feels sturdy. It doesn't feel like it'd break or leak easily. 


The pump is a decent size. It fits well into the soap dispenser, like it should.

I really like how the pump looks. It makes me think of a faucet. It catches my attention due to it's shape.

When I put the lid with the pump onto the soap dispenser with the dispenser being full, I tipped the entire thing upside down to see if it would leak. I even tried shaking it. The dispenser didn't leak at all. I am very pleased that I don't have to worry about it leaking if it gets knocked over on accident.

The pump is a little stiff to push down. It takes a little bit of effort, especially the first few times of using the pump.

The pump provides a good amount of soap. I usually go about half way down with the pump to get the amount I like.

This isn't a type of soap dispenser to use if you mix you're soap with water. It comes out too liquidy, depending on how much soap or water you use for the mixture.

Overall, the soap dispenser performs very well.

Pros: 
- Appearance
- Doesn't leak
- Can see soap level

Cons:
- Pump may be too stiff for someone who is very weak in hand strength

Automatic Soap Dispenser



I received the Ohuhu Automatic Soap Dispenser through a promotion. 

Product Info:
  • Infrared sensor 
  • 4 AA batteries (not included)
  • Wall mount 
  • One button operation for turn on/off
  • 3 level output (low, medium, large)
  • Can dispense: liquid soap, shampoo, shower gel, disinfectant 
  • Holds 16.9 oz or 500 mL
  • Avoid direct sunlight to infrared sensor 
The Ohuhu Automatic Soap Dispenser is fairly easy to set up and use. The soap dispenser makes it easy to get soap onto your hands or dishes to clean without touching any surfaces beyond turning on the water. Once the Automatic Soap Dispenser is set up, it's simply turning the dispenser on and placing your hand or dish underneath.

The dispenser takes 4 AA batteries to run. The batteries needed wasn't described or shown with the instructions or on the device. The give away is the size of the battery spaces in the compartment. The compartment is easy to open and close.


The base to catch the soap or to use as a wall mount is a bit trickier to get on. The base doesn't just snap on. When I tried just snapping it on, the base got stuck with only one end piece being in place and the other sticking out.

There is a key that goes to this base to unlock and lock the dispenser to the base. The key didn't fit for me right away. The key opening was not lined up the right way. I had to fight with it for a few minutes before I got it working properly.

If you're using the base as a wall mount, I highly recommend leaving enough space for you to get the key in to the base to unlock it from the dispenser. This way, if you when you have to change out the batteries, you won't have to fight with the base and dispenser so much.

I usually store the key under the metal lid that can be slid off at the top of the dispenser, near where the cap is for the soap. There is enough room to keep the key there, so the key doesn't get lost.

The soap dispenser is able to hold 16.9 oz or 500 mL. The opening to put soap into the dispenser is located under the metal opening that can be slid off on top of the dispenser. The screw top lid does not completely seal. It can leak if the dispenser is tipped or knocked over. The dispenser doesn't work right if you use water mixed with soap. It must be a gel or soap like texture to get it to work properly. When I tried it by mixing soap with water, even a little bit of water made the soap dispenser mostly put out water rather than soap. It didn't mix well. If you try to shake it to mix it, soap leaks out and goes everywhere. Shower gel, liquid soap, dishsoap, and shampoo works with this product.

To turn on the dispenser, simply push the black button for 3 seconds to turn on or off the dispenser. Red light indicates that the dispenser is turned off. Green light means it will dispense.

The infrared sensor is not to be in direct sunlight or it can mess up the sensor. Lighting can cause the dispenser to put out soap, whether or not there is a hand or dish in front of the sensor.

Pros:
- Hands free
- Easy to turn on
- Holds 16.9 oz of soap 

Cons:
- Leaks / Can be messy
- Key to base could get lost
- Base can be a pain to unlock
- Infrared sensor may go off due to lighting (may dispense soap randomly)

Adovia Sulfur Soap

Adovia Sulfur Soap for Acne, Blackheads, and Oily Skin

I received this Adovia Sulfur Soap as a promotional item on Tomoson.
Normally, I’m not a huge bar soap type of person. I usually prefer liquid soap. 
This soap isn’t recommended for dry or sensitive skin. Usually, my face is oily and my body is more dry. I wanted to see how well it worked on both. 
It made my body feel pretty dry and clean. My hand kept getting stuck on my skin when I tried to rub it after using the soap. I wasn’t impressed with how it worked on my body. It made it feel too weird. 
On my face though, since I tend to be more oily there, it worked really well. I rubbed the bar of soap on a sponge, so I did have a big bar of soap near my eyes. It left my face feeling very smooth and clean. I tend to break out near my nose and chin with blackheads. On my forehead and cheeks, I tend to get acne or zits. I noticed that I didn’t have as many breakouts as I used to after I started using this soap. 
Like Adovia stated, I would not recommend this soap for dry or sensitive skin. On oily or acne prone skin, it works very well. 
Check it out on amazon.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
