As you may know by now, I start travelling in the summer hence the new 'Travel Essential' themed post. My first item not everyone will be aware of, unless like me you are a complete Lushie. *sigh* Yes its another Lush product. I was first introduced to these when I was looking for a birthday present for my friend, Nicola who is travelling with me. They're Toothy Tabs RRP £2 - £3.50, a solid version of toothpaste. Yep, thats correct, solid toothpaste! You get 30 tabs in each pack and they fit into handbags, travel bags, wash bags so easily! The deal-breaker is because they're solid, they don't count towards the liquid allowance for hand luggage. Brillant :)

These do take a bit of getting used to, I can see why you'd pull a face reading this. The first time I tried them was on our trip to Edinburgh. I'm sure I described them as crushed paracetmol in your mouth at the time... Thats the worst bit, crushing them between the front teeth, once the toothbrush is wet and the crushed tabs are frothing its dandy, hang in there for a few tries. As per usual Lush have a range of flavours, some really out-there-wouldn't-fancy-brushing-my-teeth-with but you never know. I stick to the minty ones, Dirty and Ultra Blast.
