Firebox: Novelty Flavoured Toothpaste
...
On a mission to locate some Christmas presents, I stopped by Firebox.com for inspiration.
Whilst there I came across these!
Yep. You've read that correctly. Bacon-flavoured and cupcake-flavoured toothpaste!
They are 70g and fluoride-free.
According to one of Firebox's comments, they are novelty products and a bit of fun - they are not intended as substitutes for 'real' toothpaste. (If you're interested in either of them, but have any concerns you can always run it past your dentist to get an opinion on it.)
And just to clarify, the bacon-flavour is not suitable for vegetarians but there is a very happy comment on the cupcake-flavour from someone with diabetes who is pleased as punch as it is sugar-free but is still something sweet that she can enjoy.

Lush: Toothy Tabs
...
I have returned from my long weekend away - much refreshed and feeling so much better for the break!
I now have a week off work to look forward to in November. If vague plans become a little more concise, I may be flying off Europe over the Remembrance Sunday weekend. May not happen but it's something to look forward to!
Anyhoo - back to blogging of dental related topics.
Upon my return I found the Lush Times Christmas issue waiting for me. Naturally, I had a flip through the pages, wishing there was a Lush branch nearer home. The closest one requires either a specific trip to the area or else I order online which is what I did for my shampoo some time ago.
Then, lo and behold ...
Toothy Tabs!
I have no idea how long these have been about but it's the first time I've come across them and it's only right that I share! :)
Toothy Tabs are solid toothpaste tablets - you pop one in your mouth, suggested between your front teeth, you nibble at it and it produces a foam much like a typical toothpaste. Wet your toothbrush and proceed as normal!
Sounds like a cool idea to me. There's also no "chemicals, preservatives and unnecessary packaging".
The packaging is made from recycled cardboard and of course you can recycle it yourself once you're done with the pack. No more left over toothpaste stuck in the tube that you can't squeeze out, not to mention the non-recyclable tube that gets sent to landfill!
BIG thumbs up from me as far as that's concerned!
Lush have also included Fairtrade ingredients in the "Atomic" flavour and all of the Tab varieties are suitable for Vegans.
Eco-friendly aspects aside - do they really work?
Lush dutifully performed trials using the different varieties of Toothy Tabs (they come in many different flavours) with regular trips to the dentist over a three month period. You can check out the video here or else drop by the Lush website and search 'toothy tabs' should that link go AWOL at any point.
The tabs performed well in the trial so that's very encouraging.
AND if you happen to be at all concerned about your fluoride intake - either from your current toothpaste or other sources - this should help alleviate your worry ... Toothy Tabs are fluoride free.
So. What lovely flavours are there? Here's a quick rundown.
Ultrablast - peppermint, spearmint and lavender
Sparkle - vanilla, lemon and grapefruit
Breath of God - fennel, vanilla and sandalwood
Chou Chou, I Love You - rose and lemon (I hope I've got that right, the blurb isn't 100% clear)
Aquatic - Earl Grey, lime and jasmine
Dirty - spearmint (the classic minty fresh flavour had to be here somewhere)
Atomic - clove and cinnamon
You may want to check out Lush's website - they may come out with new flavours in the meantime and you can check out reviews and current prices. At the time of writing the tabs are priced between £2 and £3.50 depending on the variety (Dirty and Aquatic respectively.)
Each pack contains 40 tabs, so for £2 to try a pack out, it's not much is it? Sounds like they're worth a go!
As much as I'd love to rush out and get a pack, remember I mentioned earlier about my lack of local Lush branch? Yeah, I'm not spending that much on petrol and parking just for a pack of Toothy Tabs alone. Just being realistic here. If my shampoo was running low, I'd take the opportunity to order it online and throw in a pack of Sparkle or Breath of God. But my massive bottle is nowhere near being empty - over 20 washes out of it and the contents isn't even down to the top of the label. Not going to run out for months yet!
Hmmm, pondering ...
It occurs to me that maybe I could order one of each and give them to people at Christmas - I'm making up little gift bags for everyone this year, each with lots of little gifts inside rather than one big gift which I've done in the past. Might not be a bad idea to consider these as little extras.
Anybody reading this tried Toothy Tabs before? I've clearly been slow on the uptake as according the comments on Lush's website, they've been around for months already!
Have you tried them yourself? Any preference as to the variety you'd recommend or not? Please share! :)

My Milk Toof

My Milk Toof
Possibly the most charming photo web-comic I've ever had the pleasure to read!
Meet ickle and Lardee, two adorable little milk teef who come back home and have wonderful adventures together.
The amount of time, effort and work that goes into creating these sweet little stories is incredible. I cannot recommend "Sick Lardee" enough!

Speedy Delivery
...
I'm impressed - I only requested my second coupon from Aquafresh on Wednesday and it arrived in this mornings post! It's only 30p off this time, but it's good until the 10th August.
I have so much toothpaste it's starting to get a bit silly. Maybe I ought to start brushing three times a day ...

Mwahaha
...
I finally used my Aquafresh coupon. Found the Ultimate variety in my local Tesco and dutifully chose the + Whitening version.
As I'm standing in the queue for the self-service tills, I spot in the tiny text that the coupon is for the 75ml tubes. I double-check the box. Ah, I have picked up the 100ml. But now I'm stuck again since 100ml was clearly the only size on the shelf - there wasn't anything smaller in the Aquafresh range. Great - now where am I supposed to find the smaller version?
Well, I'm now standing in front of a till. It's worth a try, just to see if the coupon will work. If it doesn't, I can just say I didn't see the 75ml in the tiny text ... it's small, I wear glasses, that'll fly if needs be.
"Please scan your coupon!" ... *hold up barcode* ... beep ... "Coupon accepted"
Mwahaha! It works on the 100ml!
So if you happen to get a coupon that specifies a certain size, turns out it's worth giving it a go on the larger product!

Coupon from Aquafresh
...
I've been emailed with another coupon from the Aquafresh Club.
It's 30p off their Aquafresh Ultimate or Ultimate + Whitening toothpaste.
If you have a printer, you can obviously print it straight off. If you don't have a printer, they've done the sensible thing of giving you the option of requesting it being sent to you in the post - which I have requested since the computer I'm using isn't connected to a printer at this moment in time.
Nice to get a coupon, although I still haven't used the one I recieved with the free toothpaste sample yet! I must use it soon as it's only valid until the end of the month. It's a shame that my current employer does not stock the Ultimate toothpaste - guess I'll have to take a look in the local supermarkets, see who has it.

Huzzah!
...
My free sample from Aquafresh turned up in the post this morning.
In addition, they sent me a coupon for 50p off Aquafresh Ultimate or Aquafresh Ultimate + Whitening (75ml size). It's valid until the end of July and as an added bonus, I'm fairly certain that my current employer happens to stock it. Excellent! Staff discount and a coupon - that's cheap toothpaste!
No point letting the coupon go to waste; I'll get around to using all my little sample tubes eventually!
