Best toothpaste tabs I've tried. Zero chalky-ness. As ADHD these have actually helped me be more consistent with brushing my teeth. Not only is it plastic free, but it's less steps in brushing my teeth so less mental blocks.
Peppermint Toothpaste Tabs

My husband's favorite flavor. Just like the peppermint, no chalky-ness and tastes great. Very easy and motivating to use.
Watermelon Strawberry Toothpaste Tabs
Great shampoo bar. Sometimes these are hit/miss but Suds + Eco works great and doesn't leave stuff in your hair.

Great sustainable electric toothbrush! Love that the heads are compostable - they send you a mailer to ship it to them so they can compost if you don't have a compost facility near you.
