I’ve packed everything from mini tubes to messy gels, and let’s be real—traveling with toothpaste has always been annoying. That is, until I ditched the goop and went with a low-waste alternative that changed everything.
I traveled for two weeks with nothing but Canary Toothpaste Tablets, and now? I’m never going back.
The Problem with Traditional Toothpaste
A leaky tube in your toiletry bag, squeezing out way too much paste, and realizing you can’t recycle the tube even if you wanted to. Conventional toothpaste is:
-
Packaged in non-recyclable plastic
-
TSA-size restricted
-
Prone to leaks and waste
-
Filled with questionable ingredients
And when you’re living out of a backpack or hopping from hostel to hostel, every inch and ounce counts.
The Game-Changer: Toothpaste Tablets
Enter: Canary Toothpaste Tablets—a minimalist traveler’s dream. These little bite-sized tabs are solid, waterless, and come in compact, plastic-free packaging. You just pop one in your mouth, chew, and brush as usual.
On my last trip, I packed a small tin of these and instantly saw the benefits:
-
Zero mess: No spills, no stickiness.
-
TSA-proof: No liquids, no ziplock dance at security.
-
Compact: Takes up a fraction of the space.
-
Sustainable: No plastic tube, and most come in compostable or recyclable containers.
I’m Never Going Back
After one trip with toothpaste tabs, I’m hooked. They're cleaner, smarter, and way more aligned with how I want to move through the world—light, low-impact, and intentional.
So if you're still stuffing tubes into your dopp kit and hoping they don’t explode mid-flight… give tablets a try. I promise, your bag (and the planet) will thank you.
