I get mine at The Dollar Tree. I buy a bunch of (regular old) tubes when they get them in stock. ... they sell out quick but restock regularly... So I did try this Neat Squeeze because it stands up ...(I hate the tubes he leaves the cap off and it gets all over the counter)... BUT it's true it's not empty and the boy can't squeeze it out any more. So I have to help my 9 yr old get toothpaste out of this KID tube?!?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729660433951349317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-21189763649911210162013-11-17T13:14:42.614-05:002013-11-17T13:14:42.614-05:00I've invented and patented a solution to this ...I've invented and patented a solution to this problem.

I was hoping for a positive toothpaste review about something called "Neat," because you are right that getting kids to brush their teeth should be easier, and toothpaste should not be such a big part of the problem. I cleaned their bathroom today - never a fun time when you have a little boy who sleepwalks. But forget the toilet, the counter is more disgusting. The natural toothpaste that Lorenzo uses dries to a rubber cement consistency overnight and he over-squeezes so much it's like a herd of slugs were caught by the sunlight as they slithered across the counter and turned to stone. The survivors that is. The others died a bloody death in my daughter's strawberry toothpaste. /endrantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
