    No-one mentioning the bright white set of teeth on the bottom woman? I think it’s a neat detail!

    Last year I learned from independent consumer product testing agencies that at least here in germany the best dental care is provided using the most basic and cheap toothpaste from discounter chains, so now I use those. So much cheaper, so much more toothpaste in the tube and actually doesn’t secretly fuck your teeth up.

          Thanks for the the link, I will look into it. However, personally, I would not trust Stiftung Warentest results that much. For few other products, I looked deep into how they score them (via their videos and articles and then other resources), and imo, their score didn’t seem to reflect a lab-test result, but rather “how we feel about it” result (I can elaborate more if you are interested). Here, from first look, it is much better than its other tests, however, having 10% of score for packaging (it got higher from 5%) is annoying to me. For example, it says “Five experts test how well the packs open and shut”: I mean… It is good know, but I rather would have a toothpaste that is better for my teeth and opens badly compared to a toothpaste that is terrible but opens nicely!

      Well that’s a ominous insinuation without proper sourcing.

      The deodorant is interesting, I’ve been semi looking for a replacement to avoid the plastic waste. I see in the instructions they advise to wait a while before putting your clothes on, have you found this to be necessary? I used to ruin all my T-shirts like this before changing brands and don’t want to have this issue again.

        I once had a problem like this with some jar/paste deodorant I bought at Rossmann (ie not 4starlings), where the expensive t-shirt now has large fatty stains under the armpits that don’t wash off.

        As for the 4starlings instructions I didn’t really realize that was a thing that they said. I always just put pn my tshirt then put the deo on. On white tshirts there may be some light yellow metallic stains, but on colors other than white I didn’t notice anything.

        Haleon plc (British) apparently owns Sensodyne now of days, which was a joint venture of GSK (owning 2/3rds) and Pfizer. GSK has sold most of their stake, and Pfizer sold their entire stake recently.

    I was always under the impression that parodontax and sensodine are for treating something or other based on their marketing.

    I use Kemphor by Verkos Laboratories an independent Spanish company and Ohlala by Ohlala Laboratories Paris, a France based business as the name suggests. I ended up using them because they both have toothpaste containing Xylitol, an ingredient that helps in killing bacteria, something that the megacorp brands obviously don’t care about.

    Unfortunately I bought a brand new Oral-B iO shortly before I started boycotting American products and now I’m kinda stuck with it. I don’t want to waste it, but at the same time I’ll have to keep buying their expensive brush heads.

    I do at least use Sensodyne toothpaste.

    I do it the Japanese way, but I do need to see if P&G or J&J make the toothpaste I use when I eventually run out (I buy in bulk) and need to refill. Oddly, US toothpaste is an oft-requested gift when bringing things back from the US. My best guess is the formulations in some such as for whitening can’t be sold here legally (but, as with many things, buying/importing for personal use is not illegal).
