I've purchased toothpaste tablets before from Lush, but these ones from Muji were a fairly recent purchase. They are a lemon flavored option (really nice if you're looking for something other than default minty flavored toothpastes), and I think they're very helpful if you're traveling since they're a non liquidy option and easier to pack. They're super easy to use, too -- you just crunch up one of the tablets in your mouth until it becomes frothy and paste-like, and then brush like normal. You can also use these in place of mouthwash, so they're a bit of a two-in-one product!

20 toothpaste tablets for nearly 500 yen is fairly expensive on a per-use basis, and I wish these were less expensive because they are meant to be an option that is better for the environment. Also, the packaging is a plastic foil style zip lock bag, and I think for a product that is meant to be better for the environment it would be nice to see a reusable option for packaging (e.g. a metal tin or similar). Overall I like these for when I am away from home since I feel like they're easier to pack than a standard toothpaste tube, but I think the product has room for improvement.
