  • Eco-friendly glass packaging excellence
  • Travel-ready, compact tablet format

  • Fragile, shredding dental floss

Bite earns mixed reviews: the toothpaste bits clean effectively for many—some report cavity-free checkups and fresher-feeling mouths—yet others say they lack foam, feel gritty or chalky, and don’t deliver a thorough clean. Reviews praise Bite’s travel-ready, low-waste packaging and hydroxyapatite or fluoride options, while calling out weak mint flavor, tablet crumbling, floss that breaks, deodorant with short longevity, and mouthwash tabs that degrade in humidity.

  • A little hard to get used to the concept, but once I did I was sold. I don't like a lot of foam when I brush so that was an additional perk beyond the amazing concept of this vs plastic tube toothpaste.

    Feedback

    It was about a month before I opened my first jar and it had many that were stuck together. I was able to break apart without too much loss and then used the powder at the end, but was disappointed that humidity has affected it that much

  • I've been using Bite toothpaste tabs for about 2 years now. I like the message behind the company and product. However, I've never really noticed anything special about them. They are pretty expensive too but I like the auto-ship which means I don't have to worry about reordering.

    I bought the mint fluoride toothpaste bites. I wanted to love them (eco conscious company doing cool things!) but the experience of biting the bits was pretty meh... they get crumbly in your mouth before you have a chance to get it foamy with water + toothbrush. I still have them and will use them for travel but not my first choice.

  • I really like using bite in general. It's very convenient and travel-friendly. My only issue is that they don't hold up well over time. I kept buying their new limited-edition flavors and thought they would keep well in my cabinet, but they've started to crumble and yellow.

    Longer lasting. Maybe some with fluoride would be nice

  • I have been using Bite for about 3 months now and I don't think I will ever switch back to traditional toothpaste. I use the fluoride-free bits with nHap (nano hydroxy apatite) which is a proven remineralizing agent. I have almost always had issues with cavities or soft spots when going to the dentist, but ever since using Bite, I haven't had any. These bits don't foam as much as regular toothpaste but I don't mind since my teeth still feel very clean afterwards. I also don't have any more guilt about throwing away toothpaste tubes that can't be recycled every couple of months! These are also super travel friendly and I can throw the bits in my carry-on, and brought them camping with me with no issues.

  • I think the brand is really cool and they have an interesting product line. I only tried the Bites themselves; the toothpaste capsules that come in different flavors. The experience using them was okay, the process of getting a paste that is easy to brush your teeth with requires a little effort and some water. And the Bite breaking up as you bite it sometimes will leave some little Bite pieces hidden somewhere in your mouth which means it isn't getting used. I will say I think the Bites work better with a toothbrush that isn't electric. An electric toothbrush tends to just push the little Bite pieces away rather than breaking them up into the desired paste. Overall though, I would recommend trying them, especially if you don't use an electric toothbrush. I love their mission and the packaging is quite nice.

    The Bite turning into paste a bit quicker or better. Or better instructions on how to make that happen.

  • I’ve been using the toothpaste bits and I always feel like I’m probably not getting the greatest clean but I guess we shall see what the dentist thinks.

  • I've used the regular Bite toothpaste tablets as well as a few of their "special edition" ones with different flavors. They don't foam up as much as what I'm used to with regular toothpaste, but that's probably because I've been led to believe that more foam means better cleaning. That part of it just took some getting used to. I'm not on a subscription, so I just order a jar when I need it.

  • A thoughtful and sustainable product. The toothpaste bite is a little gritty and doesn’t feel like it gets my teeth as clean as regular toothpaste. We never finished the bottle and went back to the old stuff

    Feedback

    Less gritty product and larger sizes of bites

  • I really like bite. It does a great job at cleaning my teeth and isn't too minty. The sustainability part is great and I love that it is delivered by subscription so I don't run out.

    Feedback

    I love the product but am just wondering if they have ever thought about a powdered version.

  • I didn't love the grainy texture of their toothpaste bites. It didn't feel like I got as great of a clean as with traditional toothpaste. It could just come down to personal preference.

    Feedback

    I think the tablets and packaging takes up a lot more space than traditional toothpaste, and doesn't fit well within most sink set ups. I would love to see them revamp this while keeping it plastic-free and sustainable.

  • The idea of this is great. It's not new as other companies have been doing the same technology but they have a nice looking, streamlined product. The low review is for the functionality of the product. I have tried both the mouthwash tabs and the toothpaste. In each case I found the tablets ineffective. They didn't properly break down and it was basically like trying to brush and clean with an Altoid. I contacted the company and they told me that they weren't supposed to work that way and apologized, which was nice. They gave me a refund for my purchase, which was also nice. But I never bothered to try again with it for fear it would be a repeat problem.

    Feedback

    Effectiveness and functionality of the tablets. Perhaps more uniform manufacturing to ensure people don't get defective runs because it hinders re-trying the brand.

  • I like the toothpaste. I don't like conventional toothpaste because the foam is way too aggressive. Bite has a really subtle foam and slightly gritty texture that leave my teeth feeling clean.

    Feedback

    Flavor could be stronger. Would like more flavor options: clove.

  • We use the mint and charcoal tooth bites, and also the toothbrushes and love them both. It was a hard sell to convince my husband to give up the tubes of toothpaste, but now that we have, it’s so much better. There is no waste associated with these, as you buy the first one that comes with a glass jar, and the refills just come in paper bags. You can travel with these with no problems, and they work fantastic. Highly recommended.

  • Great fragrances and packaging, however, did not last at all. Without breaking any sweat, I smelled like I had never applied less than 12 hours later. May work for others, but didn't for me.

  • I used the toothpaste bits and it took some time to get over regular toothpaste, but I absolutely love the company’s mission and sustainability.

    Feedback

    Definitely worth trying!

  • I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT BITE. The automatic subscription (with a notification before it ships so you can postpone it if you need to), the taste, the quality of ingredients, the lasting impact it's made on my dental health, the sustainable packaging and shipping methods, the sustainable business model in general, and SO MUCH MORE!

  • I’ve only tried their toothpaste bits. It’s been great for travel and camping. I’ve tried using long term, but don’t feel is quite as effective in cleaning and protecting my teeth as other toothpastes
