Toothpaste tabs also allow you to bring exactly how much you need instead of bringing an entire tube of toothpaste that you don’t. And you don’t have to worry about those annoying TSA liquid restrictions. It will help you squeeze every last glob out of that toothpaste tube!Īnother benefit to toothpaste tabs is that they’re great for traveling since you don’t have to worry about anything spilling all over your bag or zero waste toiletry kit. By the way, if you’re currently still using toothpaste out of a tube, I’ve got a great hack that works great with both plastic toothpaste tubes and even metal toothpaste tubes.

You also eliminate a ton of product waste since it can be very difficult to get all of the toothpaste out of the tube. The main benefit of toothpaste tabs is that you skip the plastic tube and cap. What are the benefits of toothpaste tablets compared to regular toothpaste? But since then, I’ve tried about four or five different brands of toothpaste tablets and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the options, the flavors, and even the foaminess! And I’ve even got a hack to get you twice as much out of your toothpaste tabs. The store was badass, but the toothpaste tabs were good (enough). I first bought toothpaste tabs from a zero waste store in Berlin. Now, crappy toothpaste tabs taste like chalk and some have a weird peroxide taste to them…gross! And they don’t foam up a whole lot so it can be difficult to get that good clean feeling you’re used to with toothpaste. It’s toothpaste in a pill form that you toss into your mouth, chew up with your teeth and brush. Toothpaste tablets (or toothpaste tabs as they’re often called) are essentially toothpaste without the paste. Ok ok, get back on track Shannon! Give these people what they came here for! What the eff are toothpaste tablets? Again, come on guys, can we work on that name? How about plaque tabs! Or teeth warriors?! Maybe pink teeth monsters? Tooth Armor?

Anyways, toothpaste tabs are a cousin of those cherry flavored plaque disclosing tablets. But they did a great job with everything else. I guess the marketing department didn’t spend a whole lotta time on the name. In writing this post, I looked up what those little tablets were called and found them under “ Plaque disclosing tablets“.
