Traveling was enough of a hassle before the whole "liquids and gels" carry-on restrictions at airports. Now traveling light, and avoiding the extra fees airlines are imposing on checked bags, means making sure you've got all your supplies in TSA-approved amounts and in the proper containers. More hassle. And more chance you'll leave something behind.

You can make things a lot easier, and make sure you've got the shower essentials you need, by packing a single Spongeable.

Each large, exfoliating and massaging Spongeable sponge is infused with enough Vitamin A and E enriched shower gel to get you through about twenty showers before you have to toss it. Just add water to activate the thick, foaming, "guy scented" cleanser. It's also got a healthy dose of shea butter and olive oil to moisturize and keep your skin from itching and flaking.

For weekend trips, they've got a travel size that'll get you 3 or more showers with the same cleansing, hydrating and skin-protecting gel as the big one. They're small enough to fit in your shaving kit, and perfect to keep on hand in your "shack pack", should you find yourself fortunate enough to be in a strange shower the morning after a successful night out.
