![]() Bite has more coming.īamboo toothbrushes are really catching on in popularity, which I’m thrilled by. I feel like I’ve been along for the ride with Lindsay since the beginning of Bite - testing new product variations, giving feedback on packaging, stepping over boxes of her hand-stamping supplies when her living room was the HQ - I LOVE this product and am so proud of the success it has found! And stay tuned. The tablets are TSA approved, and you’ll never have to worry about about a tube of toothpaste exploding in your suitcase ever again! I recommend if you’re trying Bite for the first time, nab a set of small bottles of both flavors for $20 to see which you prefer, then sign up for the subscription service of whichever you prefer to save big time - a full 38%! Then, set aside the small bottles to use when you’re traveling. You can buy a single small bottle, designed to last a month, or a large bottle, designed to last four months, with refill subscriptions sent to you every four months in biodegradable refill packets made to pour directly into your bottle. When I first started thinking about traditional toothpaste alternatives I was mostly concerned with the plastic waste of the tubes, but they are also made with cheap ingredients and chemicals which I’m now thrilled to be free of.īite comes in both the classic Mint Flavor and Mint Charcoal Flavor. The bottles are glass, refills are sent in compostable pouches, and the entire process is plastic-free from start to finish. It took me a while to get used to after so many decades of using paste but now I’m hooked for life!īite is truly committed to sustainability in everything from their packaging to their shipping methods. ![]() Personally, I like to use two Bite bits in the morning to feel super extra fresh. Like most eco-swaps, there is a small adjustment period. But these ones come with a special goal: Less chemicals in our bodies, less plastic in our landfills. They’ll lather up just like an other toothpaste would. Since then, Bite Toothpaste Bits have grown all the way up, moved from Lindsay’s bathtub to an ethical hand-pressed production lab in California, and exploded in popularity, with gushing features everywhere from Cosmopolitan to Oprah Magazine.īites are simple to use - just wet your toothbrush, pop a Bite in your mouth, bite down, and brush as usual. I can still remember when my friend Lindsay first started researching and experimenting with creating waste-free, cruelty-free and all natural toothpaste tabs, running a research lab out of her bathtub. We believe the earth is not ours to keep, but to protect for future generations. ![]() (Rounded out with a bit of accountability at the end.)Īccording to Bite, over a billion toothpaste tubes are thrown out every year - the mass of fifty Empire State Buildings, every dang year! That’s mind boggling, right? Here’s what I’m using these days that’s good for me and good for the planet. My smile has never felt brighter or lighter. So I bid those disposable goodbye - and with it, all the guilt. Eek! Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, and on its way, it leaks BPA and phthalates that eventually end up seeping into the planet - and us. Plastic toothbrushes, plastic tubes of chemical-loaded toothpaste and plastic bottles of harsh mouthwash, plastic floss and plastic tongue sweepers. I’d already gone green with my hair care routine - using solid shampoo and solid conditioner, a reef safe leave-in conditioner when diving, and letting my hair dry naturally 99% of the time - and so my dental care seemed like a natural next step. ![]() What’s better than a brighter smile? One that’s as good for the planet as possible! As I’ve progressed in my sustainability journey, there was a point where I looked around my bathroom sink and reflected on how taking care of your teeth can produce a lot of waste.
