Works great using better techniques
This is an excellent travel toothbrush if used properly - but the provided instructions aren't the best way to use it.First - you need very little toothpaste to brush your teeth, "a quarter of a pencil eraser" will do a good job. If you can fill the small portable tube completely, it will last you for weeks. Thus, the toothbrush, tube, and container/handle is all you need for a two week vacation or camping trip. You can pack two in case you lose one. Long distance hikers take note!Second - use the smallest adapter that will screw onto your toothpaste source tube.Third - filling completely: The provided instructions are silly. Instead, gently flatten the travel tube between two flat wooden rulers, or a popsicle stick cut in half, or whatever soft smooth-edged flat wood strips are handy. The goal is to gently squeeze all the air out of the travel tube before you screw it into the toothpaste source tube adapter. Also, squeeze out a slight bead of toothpaste from the source tube before screwing the travel tube into the adapter.Fourth - Squeeze in the toothpaste slowly (a fill takes about 10 seconds) while you slowly relax the squeeze on the flat sticks. This may require a second pass and waste a little toothpaste, as you squeeze the air remaining near the nozzle out of the travel tube before topping it off. Toothpaste used sparingly is cheap, while grams matter if you have a lot to pack.Fifth - the product packaging is loose and sloppy. A couple of minature letter clips will hold it shut. The product designers made a few errors, but nothing a savvy user can't fix.Perhaps I am obsessive about maximizing the travel tube fill, but all five tubes properly filled with toothpaste can sustain a prudent traveller for months (and the source tube back home will last for years if you use a tiny dab).

Muah!
Not as particle as I thought. It was hard to fill from your large toothpaste tube. Could not get much toothpaste into the small tubes do to air pockets. I have started using the travel toothpaste from the store when backpacking. It’s worth a try. If you can get it to work and it works for you then go for it!

Awesome idea - terrible execution (rust!)
I really liked the compact design. Perfect for overnighters or a weekend trip. Self-contained everything. I was super excited when I got it.After a couple of uses, I noticed a brown discoloration on the bottom of the bristles. i realized quickly that they must be attached with metal that is rusting and traveling up the bristles. After a use or 2, you will be brushing your teeth with oxidized iron. I promptly threw mine away, and tossed the other 2 into my travel bag so I can use them each one time and toss them after. Very disappointing.The other minor issue is the cover-handle, because the kind of plastic it is cracks really easily. 2 of the 3 came pre-cracked. Like hairline but that would get worse after like a year of banging around in your travel bags, I think.I'm gonna go look for alternative approaches to this idea because now I want that setup, just not with these.

Genius, but bristles very firm
These are really pretty great, with the exception of the fact that my gums still hurt after using one in a hurry yesterday, not for the first time. The listing advertises them as "medium" bristles, but I'd call them firm, for sure. I'll have to be more gentle in the future.That said, these are so compact and the little toothpaste tubes really aren't that fussy to fill as long as you let go of the hope that you'll be able to fill them 100% full. Just settle for almost full, and make sure you're not squeezing the big tube AT ALL when you pull it out of the filling adapter. Yeah, you'll probably make a bit of a mess on your first attempt. It's worth it, and you'll get better at it.The little tubes aren't totally water/airtight. They're absolutely fine when they contain toothpaste being stored in the handle of the toothbrush, but hopes I had of using the extra tubes for other stuff like mouthwash or a bit of peroxide or shampoo went out the window when I tested them with water. Even toothpaste might leak out of the cap if the tube were squeezed while sealed, like if you carried a spare tube loose in a bag. I mostly use these at work for an after-lunch brush, so I have no need to carry a spare tube. If I go on a trip, I'll probably take my regular-sized toothbrush and tube of toothpaste, but if space is ever at such a premium, I'll toss the spare tubes in a mint tin or something to protect them. The tubes are 2 1/4" long, about 5.8 cm, so they'll fit in a mint tin easily, aligned with the shorter side. You could probably get ten tubes in a standard Altoids tin. The toothbrush in its case, packed for travel, measures 4 7/16" long by 7/8" by 1/2".I'm the sort of person who uses WAY too much toothpaste every time, not the "pea sized amount" everyone recommends. I'm still able to get about four brushings per tube with these little tubes before I start worrying about not having enough for another go.I think the case is made out of acrylic, and it feels somewhat brittle. It might crack if compressed, but it's really been fine floating around in my purse daily. It and the white plastic toothbrush both feel a bit cheap, but they work just fine, and you can't beat the form factor.

Incredibly easy to use and handy for a weekend away
This is exactly the product I've been searching for as someone who likes to live out of a small carry-on while I travel. The small tubes hold plenty of toothpaste, easily enough for a whole weekend. (TIP: follow the instructions for filling the tubes and don't worry about extra space at the end, it's normal). I also like carrying these to work -- the whole kit fits nicely in a pants pocket or gym bag. Also, in a pinch, the tube that holds the toothbrush and toothpaste can be used as a cup to hold water for rinsing your mouth. I don't know what else I would use the tubes for (hand lotion, maybe?) but I'm sure I'll find something.Overall, this is a great product that I've been waiting years to see. I used it all the time on my last weekend trip to New York City and it saved me from having to wait until I got back to my hotel to feel clean after meals.
