Thanks for the links

Certain large Asda stores do a selection of small deo cans, suncream and toothpaste etc. I just refill my small toothpaste tube from a big one.

i nick the last 1/4 tube from the bathroom and use one of those tube keys to roll it up small. I am sure i got the tube roller from Bettaware.

What he said, plenty of tiny toiletries for camping at Asda and none of the endless spam emails
Tesco sell small 'travel' size tubes of Colgate.
morrisons did last year as well
Your probably find your dentist will give you free mini tube as they will get loads from reps trying to sell them expensive kit, at least, that's where I get mine from!:rolleyes:

How mini is mini though? I'm currently reading a book on ultra-light camping, reducing your pack weight. And boy is that lad dedicated, lol.
Toothbrush sawn in half, ok, fair enough !
"Drilling holes in your car key" WHOA !:rolleyes:
I Don't think he would condone a travel size toothpaste:) I seem to remember he mentioned Toothpowder. I saw it in a shop the other day but I've never tried it myself.
Aero keys sound cool though, probably add ten to fifteen BHP to your car too!

My mum gave me one of these "FCUK" wash bags for christmas a few years back, which included a very small tube of toothpaste and a folding toothbrush in a small plastic box, around the size of a match box. I still use the bag for my mp4 player and speakers, so did have many uses and was a worthwhile christmas present. I have yet to use the toothpaste, still have it in the box as supplied, can post a picture of it next week when I am back home if I remember! Heres a link to the bag, but picture of the box not shown!

Along similar lines as this ?9821
I just like freebies ! I'm used to getting spam mail, usually I don't give them the go-ahead, which stops some of them

Very similar, but the box could be deemed a seperate to the toothbrush, as not required to extend the handle of the brush.
Have you tried toothpaste dots (http://jjmatheshikes.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/toothpaste-dots.html)?

Gotta agree. Any ideas where to get a "travel" size tooth paste? Most sizes are over kill for the backpack.

Asda, also easily picked up at a reception at a hotel, just say you forgot yours, they are tiny!!

He could remove all of his teeth and save taking toothpaste. Bonus also of less weight with no teeth.

Guys, if you want a throwaway email address (but checkable) there is a service called mailinator.com I use from time to time when testing newsletters at work. Have a look and you won't need to worry about spam.

Talk about big brother. Can't access the toothpaste dots link as my iPhone won't accept cookies!
I got my mini bits from Superdrug when they were all on half price. I bought enough for a year or two.
Now I just need mini loo rolls

If you remove every other tooth, then you can use paracord instead of floss!

Looks worthy of an experiment, cheers !:)

Could use the same idea as the 'dots' by using an empty blister pack from ibuprofen tabs or whatever, squeeze your toothpaste into the empty pods and cover with masking tape, no chance of them sticking together and no need to air dry & chew. :D
Re: the spam from these offers, not had any, the trusty spam filter and not ticking the boxes for more info seems to be doing the trick. ;)

The Colgate one worked anyway, arrived this morning:D
Free travel size toothpaste linky..
www.webmd.boots.com/healthy-m...rs/free-sample
Yep got mine yesterday, reckon there's maybe a weeks worth in there if ya take it easy with it, good enough for a 5 day trial anyways. Anything in life that's free is a definate bonus, cheers for that one. ;)
Novel way of opening it too, the grip star shaped indent in the lid fits the one on the tube, I was gonna cut if off with a knife until I saw the way it worked lol. :D

Mine arrived a couple of days ago :)
Just got the OralB sample aswell, seems a bit lighter than the Colgate, could be wrong and not getting the scales out to weigh it, but that ones going straight into the rucksack for whenever along with the other samples of various shampoos, shower gels, etc.
Cheers again :)

My thoughts exactly mate !
(Although it does smell like Germaline / Root-beer):)

Haha, must admit to not smelling it, as long as it doesn't taste like it. Bleh, soon wash it away with a gargle of voddy. ;)
