This has got to be one of the strangest items of its king that I have ever tried. But, even as strange as it is, it actually works. A solid toothpaste for brushing just seems weird. You actually take one of these tablets and, using your front teeth chew it up until it becomes a pste Then you grab your toothbrush and brush away.The taste is a very strong pepermint flavour. I tried it with two tablets as a single tablet did not seem t be enough. When chewing keeping the tablet confined to the front is quite difficult and some of the paste tends to migrate toward the back and eventually finds its way to the back of the throat. When done this migrating paste leaves you with a feeling of wanting to evacuate something that really isn't there. Perhaps some practice or just one tblet would be all that is needed. (But one tablet was not enough for my needs. )It comes with a fully packed metal can with a screw on metal lid. Very secure and no chance of spillage. I like this idea. Reading the instructions is absolutely impossible. Even with a magnifying glass it is difficult. Ya see, it is printed in white on a light blue background. That combination just does not lend itself to ease of reading. Basically, it tells you to chew one tablet at the front of your teeth until it becomes pastelike. Then brush with your toothbrush.Where would this be a good fit? Well, almost any travel would be fine, especially camping. No need for tubes that can become punctured and leak. For hikers it would be perfect. Just take the number of needed tablets and pack them in a small baggie or whatever you have that you feel comfortable storing them in.Weird but interesting and they actually do work!! Would I purchase again? Well, there are so many tablets in the can that I will probably never run out.. If so, I would purchase again.
