    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.

    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 !

    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 ?travel-folding-toothbrush-with-toothpaste-770-p.jpg

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

    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.
