Toothpaste tubes

Now call me tight, but I like to get my money's worth.

Whatever happened to metal toothpaste tubes? You could roll them up from the end, and get every last drop out. Try doing that with the plastic rubbish and it unravels like a Fuckin party blower!

Anyone remember those tubes?

Just lay the tube on a flat surface and push the remaining paste out with your toothbrush handle. Piece of piss

So it goes all over tiles or sink instead of on the brush!

Just push it all to the end then squeeze the last out normally once it's at the head of the tube

Buy yourself a tube of tomato paste...it'll help recreate the sensation...though i don't recommend using it as toothpaste.

I'll only really squeeze it if I haven't a new tube waiting to go. I don't mind wasting mls worth of toothpaste as I'm extravagant.

If really bothered buy yourself a tube key - you'll find them on eBay. I've used them for tubes of hair dye as it's a lot more expensive than toothpaste and I use a lot of it!!

I didn't like the foil tubes...they'd crack and split where you folded and rolled them and i always ended up with bits of paste leaking out here and there.

Maybe i'm just cack handed

Aaahhh...when Colgate was just...Colgate. None of this whitening, sensitive, gum-protecting 5-different-sorts-of-mint-flavour business!

The more you rolled up the metal tubes, the more the sides split and leaked toothpaste!

Once you have a tube key for a huge 99p you have it forever?! I have had mine for hairdye about ten years!

Do tube keys work properly with plastic tubes?

"Do tube keys work properly with plastic tubes?"

They'll probably unravel unless clipped. Only seconds to roll again though. Unless you mean the plastic pump type.

They work although admittedly better with metal tubes as you gotta keep rolling them lol

Luckily for me hair dye attacks plastic tubes so still old fashioned metal ones

Look for "tube squeezer" on Amazon. It's like a clip.

I can just imagine it being a PITA compared to using it on a metal tube.

Just using my thumb and index finger and squeezing down the tube has always worked for me but what do I know? *shrugs*

Metal tubes remind me of Germalene.

A squeezing tool would be better than a key, I guess?

I am more than happy with a roll and squeeze method. However, if it's one of those pump efforts you can use the handle of the toothbrush to push it a little bit further up from the inside to get the last dregs out.

Exactly!! Mind you, it's probably 0.002p worth!

You can get it. I use it sometimes as I periodically suffer from sensitivity.

Try a pump toothpaste and you'll get it all out
