Toothy Tabs, if you don’t already know are a new alternative to toothpaste.
Intriguing right?! I live for innovative and new products and I think Lush have taken
this one to a whole new level! I was totally keen to give them a try.
What are toothy tabs?
Available in 6 different flavours (although Dirty is the only
available flavour in Australia at the moment) they are tiny little tabs which
come in a little box and are AUD$3.95 a pop. Dirty is spearmint and definitely the most ‘normal’ of the
flavours and leaves your mouth in a spearminty fresh way. The other
flavours are;
♥ Atomic – Coffee clove & ginger
♥ Aquatic – Lime, jasmine & earl grey
♥ Breath of God – Sandalwood
♥ Sparkle – Vanilla, lemon, grapefruit & black pepper
♥ Ultrablast – triple mint, wasabi & lavender
Having also tried Sparkle and Breath of God, Dirty gets the thumbs up from me.

How to use toothy tabs
You simply pop one tab in your mouth, crush it up a bit, get your tooth brush wet and brush away. I wasn’t expecting them to foam up nearly as much as they did and was super impressed with how clean my teeth felt after the first time I used them.

The main ingredient is siodum bicarbionate which cleans your teeth
while cream of tartar works to whiten them and unlike some toothpastes they
contain no artificial sweeteners or dyes.
Thoughts
I’m not going to lie, at first the whole thing seems a bit
unusual. I think it’s the fact that using normal toothpaste is such an ingrained
habit but when you think about it an alternative is kinda cool. You might feel
an initial “erghh” when you start using them but the results are pretty
fantastic! I have a feeling that these are definitely not a product for
everyone and I can imagine many people not feelin the love for them, which I
totally understand. Some of the flavours are definitely not for the
fainthearted.
As for me I am a sucker for them. I am totally obsessed and will not stop raving about them/convincing people to buy them. I think my flatmate wants to kick me out because of my non stop talk of them. I think the whole concept is
genius. I do have to admit that as they don’t contain fluoride I only use them
in the morning and I still do brush with toothpaste in the evening just to make
sure my teeth are in tip top shape. What I absolutely LOVE about these babies
is the fact that they are cruelty free, vegan and environmentally friendly and contain a ton of natural
ingredients. Each year 1 billion toothpaste tubes end up in landfill so by using a 100% recyclable box we you are helping the environment. Win win win. Plus the boxes all come with silly little mouths. Enter cheesy snap. . .
Would love to hear your thoughts :)
Have you tried them yet? Love them or hate
them?
