Can't wait to see the thread topics next week. ;) TSA: "What's this"? Pax: "My diaper" TSA: "How many do you need?" Pax: "I don't know, but better safe than sorry." TSA: "What's in this diaper?" Pax: "SSI. And you don't want to know." :D |

Oral-B has a product called Brush-Ups
http://www.oralb.com/products/produc...o&pid=brushups While not exaclty ideal for regular dental hygeine, I use them as my in-flight toothbrush on long-haul flights. Much easier as I don't actually need to get to the toilet sink to use them. |

As I have stated in other threads, even OTC items can be prescribed. Make sure you have the pharmacy attach their label to the item and bring with you the paperwork the pharmacy gives you. Call over the airport police if they try to deny you or confiscate your prescribed item. This is a crime in most jurisdictions. The TSA has overreacted and so must we. |

Can't wait till they get a glimpse of my prescription Right Guard. |
Pre-pasted toothbrushes
Speaking of toothbrushes that have powdered toothpaste on them....I fly on business a lot. My daughter has braces and I get her supplies from an online merchant called dentakit.com. They have a few different types of pre-pasted disposable toothbrushes. I've been buying supplies for my daugther from them for a few years and they have nice products and fast shipping. I just recently took a trip and took some of these brushes with me, no problem. So yeah, they do pass security. I looked at the wrapper and they do have SLS in them.

thank you

pre-pasted less than a dime each
www.plaksmacker.com (I kid you not with that name).
|
California tax is $1.13 So, $.13/each for the minimum buy of 144 |
What they need to create is gum filled with toothpaste, so you can just apply it directly to the toothbrush
The applications are endless, hair gel, cough syrup, etc ;) |
Baggies and toothpaste
Rather than spend money of pre-pasted toothbrushes, why not just put a small amt. of toothpaste in small baggies spread around your carryon - would that be detected?
|
The $0.09 brushes are "Prepasted with a non-fluoride, mint-flavored paste "
No thanks. I "pre-pasted" my normal toothbrush for a trip last week. You can and want to do this so that there isn't a glob on top. I also use one of those caps that you get in the United amenity kits. I also "concealed" small single use portions. Not going to disclose how and where since the enemy might be lurking. |
