  Winner of a Silver IDEA Award (BusinessWeek/IDSA)  Featured as Dwell Product of the Day  Featured in Time Out New York's Holiday Gift Guide  Featured on MSNBC.com, "Cool Tools for Travelers", June 26, 2007  Featured in People Magazine, June 18, 2007  Featured in Wallpaper* Magazine, June/July 2007  Featured in Metropolis Magazine, May 2007  "Unlike most travel bottles which must be turned upside down to squeeze out their contents, these are designed in a light bulb shape with the opening at the base of the container. No shaking or waiting for contents to be accessible on account of gravity. Better yet, the use of flexible silicone -- instead of hard plastic -- allows you to depress the container easily, getting out every last drop of its contents, like a tube of toothpaste. The extra wide mouth makes filling the bottles much easier and quicker. Best of all, the bottles were designed in accordance with TSA standards: they are transparent enough to be considered clear and hold 2 oz each. I have flown with these several times with great results. I simply put them in a clear plastic zipper bag and drop them in the security bucket with my shoes and am on my way. They're on the pricey side, but are so easy to use I won't be switching back to those hard plastic travel bottles (even if the TSA eases up)."  Featured in Theme Magazine, Spring 2007  "Timely and clever, Brooklyn design firm Pkoh NYC's new silicone travel bottle solves the problem of containers that are tough to use and leak-prone, while keeping the design to a size that meets the new security regulations for carry-on liquids. Made from pliable translucent silicone, the bulb shape is easy to squeeze and seals securely with an O-ring. A wide mouth makes for easy cleaning and filling of the two-ounce bottle and the inverted design takes advantage of gravity, eliminating struggles to dispense product. One standout among the many details proving designer Paul Koh has keen sense of functional design is the rotating indicator ring that elegantly labels the bottles. Pick up a two-pack that includes one blue and one clear bottle (both are transluscent) for $20 from Pkoh NYC."  "It's gotten pretty tough to try and get your favorite shampoo, conditioner, or product onto the plane with you — unless you've got the PKOH Silicone Travel Bottle ($20/2-pack). The lightbulb-shaped containers hold a TSA-friendly 2 fluid ounces, and are made from FDA food and medical grade silicone, with an integrated O-ring to prevent leaks. A widemouth neck makes for easy filling and cleaning, whether you're carrying lotion or lube."  I tell ya, no matter what I do, I always have a travel leak, repeat ALWAYS....but, (extreme) help is at hand. Paul Koh of [PKOH] (pronounced pee-koe), Brookyn, NYC positions his new to the market silicone travel bottle as the "extreme makeover: travel bottle edition". He's got a point. Gone is the cheap plastic bottle, and in its place, an easy to squeeze silicone bulb with an integral O-ring to prevent leaks. A widemouth neck makes it extra easy to fill and clean. To top it off, an upside-down cap and Easy Squeeze valve means no waiting, no mess, and pinpoint control. And best of all, it's TSA carry-on compliant, making this little baby very marketable indeed. Here's to leak-free, stylish traveling. p.s. keep your eye out for more PKOH product designs that balance simplicity, usability, functionality, and aesthetics, or as PKOH puts it, "just click".  Featured on Style Hive  "If you've ever had liquids or gels leaking into your suitcase, you might be interested in PKOH NYC's Silicone Travel Bottles. Just the right size to sneak under that Homeland Security size limit for deadly liquids, these bulb-shaped containers seal up with a leakproof O-ring. We're liking their wide mouths, just right for a couple of quick 2-ounce shots of Jack during a mesmerizing coast-to-coast flight. A two-pack of these translucent bottles—one blue and one white—will run you 20 bucks."  "To all you weary travelers who've lost ones of tens of dollars from confiscated toiletries: PKOH NYC presents a stylish 3 oz. silicone bottle that's just the right size to tote your fave "liquids" to your future travel destinations."  Featured on NOTCOT  Featured on MocoLoco  Featured on CribCandy  "If you’ve been a FreshArrival reader for awhile, you know that I love products that are well-designed and show great attention to detail. The Silicone Travel Bottle from PKOH NYC is an excellent example of a product that fulfills both of those requirements at once. Designed by Paul Koh in NYC, these bottles pack a lot of features into their tiny packages. They’re made of translucent silicone so you can easily figure out what’s inside of them, are TSA compliant, with a 2 fluid ounce capacity so you’ll have no problem taking these on a plane with you (unless the TSA thinks up some reason why silicone bottles are a threat to flight security and bans those too ;)). They also have integral O-rings that prevent leaks.. a great inclusion because not only do you get the leak prevention and tight seal that an O-ring provides, you won’t lose the O-ring because it’s built-in. They stand upside-down so that you won’t have to wait for the contents to drip down to the bottom. They’ve got Easy Squeeze valves in their tips, which prevent messiness and helps you control the liquid more precisely, and have large mouths for easy filling and cleaning. Sweet."  Featured on Grassroots Modern  "What looks like a lightbulb, feels like a butt plug and is a must have for any traveler? Why Paul Koh's most excellent silicone traveling tubes. Clocking in at just under the 3 oz. TSA maximum fluid allowance, the beauty of this product will be readily apparent to anyone who's had to throw out a tube of Kiehl's facial cleanser (Damn you, Osama!) at airport security or who has arrived in Miami with a thin sheen of SPF 45 covering all your clothes. Two travel tubes: $20. Shipping and Handling: $2. Arriving with moisturized clean skin: Priceless."  "Okay, take a guess: quick! What are these weird looking things in the picture above? Are they... A new rubber-coated, halogen light bulb that consumes 50% less energy than a regular bulb? A Nintindo Wii controller enhancement? An answer to the TSA's "War on Moisture?" If you guessed number two, you're wrong! It's number three: a TSA-friendly, 2 o.z., silicone travel bottle from PKOH NYC. It's the self-proclaimed "perfect way to travel with liquids and gels, whether across the country or to your local gym," and you know what? I think it's pretty nifty too! No more shampoo leaking all over your clothes, or mouthwash giving your entire bag that fresh-mint smell, these bottles are 100% spill proof and easy to squeeze. They look pretty cool to boot.They're not for your average budget traveler, however. Two bottles will cost you $20USD, which isn't too bad, but I think I'll stick to traveling without any liquids whatsoever. That'll show those pesky TSA agents who's boss, and..." |
