On-the-Go Whitening and Fresh Breath

I was anxious to try Lush's "Toothy Tabs" mainly because of the novelty. I bought boxes in several flavors. Some flavors are not very flavorful, but I do love "Breath of God." It is a mix of fennel (in the parsley family, which cleans breath like nothing else), vanilla, and sandalwood. You crush a tablet between your front teeth and then begin brushing as you would with toothpaste (obviously, ...read morewith a wet toothbrush). This is a "powdered" form of toothpaste, conveniently packed in a small box for on-the-go use, and works wonders. This also contains baking soda (what works better for clean teeth?), cream of tartar, glycerin, and kaolin. There is kaolin in another toothpaste I use--"Dentisse." It gently polishes stains away and leaves your breath divine (no pun intended, really).

Interesting, effective, but expensive and tastes weird.

I love LUSH. They have great products that are unique and fun, and the company is great as well. The co-creators are quirky and cool, the products are minimally packaged to reduce waste, they are against animal testing (they use human volunteers instead), they use ethically sourced ingredients, they use only vegetarian ingredients, they genuinely are a “green” company (in terms of their energy...read more use, recycling/composting/re-using, using wind and low-impact hydro-electric power), and they get involved in ethical campaigns. It's a company that I LIKE to buy things from and am always excited to find new things to buy there. This product was included in a LUSH "Dirty" gift set for about twenty bucks, and included hair gel, shaving cream, shower gel, fragrance vial (all in the "Dirty" scent), and Toothy Tabs. My boyfriend had been looking at it and I bought it for him to try (the box does say your girlfriend will try and steal it, and I partially bought it cuz I was excited to try it out too!) :) The only thing my BF didn't want to try at all were the Toothy Tabs. The idea of Toothy Tabs is really cool—you crunch up one tablet with your teeth, wet your toothbrush, and start brushing! So I tried it out. Put a tablet in, crunched it up... and it tasted gross. A little minty, but mostly like baking soda. I resisted the urge to spit it out, and started brushing. This does foam nicely while brushing, and after I was done and had spit and rinsed, my teeth felt so clean! When I looked at the ingredients, I saw that the main three were baking soda, cream of tartar and glycerin—all things that I already have at home! These are usually about four bucks for forty tabs (if you brush twice a day, this won't even last you a month). Because of the price and taste, and because I can make a similar product myself, I'll probably stick with regular toothpaste, and occasionally throw some baking soda on it for extra scrubbing action.

I absolutely love these

I hated my crest pro health because it was leaving an odd aftertaste in my mouth. I stopped by lush today and saw the toothy tabs. I LOVE THEM!! They have amazing flavor combinations. I got Atomic and God today and tried them right away. The foam up very nicely, taste like a dream, and make my teeth squeaky clean, goodbye teeth sweaters :)

Odd

I love the concept of these, but they leave a lot to be desired. Don't know if its from years of using neem toothpaste but I find the flavors odd and the lack of foaming leaves my teeth feeling less than clean. But kudos for the cleaver and ever inventive products.

Eh..

Toothy tabs are alright, after you have had them for awhile the taste becomes much different than when you first get them. I finally made the switch back to toothpaste..
