People, this thing is a GAME CHANGER.
We've always been a body wash kind of family, but I kind of hate schlepping bottles of body wash along on long trips. You have to bring a big enough bottle to last the entire time (we're currently in the middle of an 11-day beach vacation, so travel sizes won't cut it), it always seems to leak, and I know it sounds picky, but my kids can't manage to open a big, slippery bottle by themselves in the shower and it leads to a lot of frustration for both of us. Ok, so that's the case at home as well as on vacation.
I stumbled across one of these Johnson's Buddies Easy-Grip Sudzing Bars in the baby toiletry aisle and it looked like genius. A bar of soap - an actual BAR OF SOAP - that won't sting my kids eyes! YES! And it's wrapped in a grippy soap pouch that makes it easy to hold onto and super easy to lather up.
Verdict: LOVE. The kids love being independent and washing themselves with it, and I love that it cost around $1 and can be tossed at the end of our trip so I don't have to shlep it home with us. I originally bought it because it just wasn't body wash, but now I think we'll be using these at home from now on. It smells great, and the pouch makes it extra scrubby without being rough - it works great on stubborn patches of marker or dirt.

Love! Another great tip for traveling is the Johnson's sudsing washcloths, they are in the baby isle too! Not sure of the price but so easy to throw in a suitcase.

I love these too! I found them while on vacation a few years ago. I use them at home too.
