I feel bad about this company. Parla toothpaste tabs are a company doing everything right. They are a B corporation to begin with, check mark for me.

I heard about Parla, what they were trying to do to deal with the problem of discarded toothpaste tubes, such an environmental problem globally I bought in.

I am a student and don’t have much money so investing in Parla at £15 for a pot of tabs instead of 3 quid for a tube of toothpaste was a big ask.

I have to confess I’ve had the jar of tabs a while now and find myself in the habit of using my room mates old fashioned toothpaste tube instead of my tabs.

The process of chewing up a minty tab before you brush is not hard or unpleasant it’s just different from a small squirt on the brush of blue gel in a tube. Is why is it I am not using my tabs I ask myself.

I agree with all the reasons I should change to tabs and yet I steal/borrow from someone else instead.

Has anyone else managed to swap over to toothpaste tabs?

Plastic free containers, made in the UK, what’s not to love? You get 62 tabs in a jar, one months supply brushing twice a day so definitely more expensive.

It’s changing the habit that is proving the most challenging for me.
