Advantages: Cleans teeth and breath. Cheaper than many other Colgate toothpastes! Disadvantages: None
...Being under the impression that Colgate toothpastes were the more expensive on the market I have always averted my eyes unless there is a large label with a BOGOF offer! I mention this as this toothpaste was only a mere 4p more than my bog standard usual Aquafresh toothpaste!
I am always on the look out for bargains and good quality, inexpensive products. Being under the impression that Colgate toothpastes were the more expensive on the market I have always averted my eyes unless there is a large label with a BOGOF offer! I mention this as this toothpaste was only a mere 4p more than my bog standard usual Aquafresh toothpaste!
I actually bought mine from Morrisons for 94p, thinking that I was getting a huge bargain, not so, I have been robbed of 1p!! Oh no!
♠♠ Compared with other brands per 100ml ♠♠
Aquafresh - 90p
Crest - 1.32
Macleans Freshmint - 96p
Signal - 98p
♥♥ Packaging ♥♥
As with most tube toothpastes this comes in a cuboid box, within which is a squeezable tube with a flip top lid, which I must point out should really be closed after use otherwise the top section dries out and becomes hard.
The tube has Colgate emblazoned in large white lettering on a red background.♠♠ What Colgate Say About This Toothpaste ♠♠
Freshens breath
Strengthens teeth
Fights cavities
Great refreshing taste
Provides you with the breath freshening of a gel
♥♥ My Experience ♥♥I am lucky in that I don't have bad teeth, my first filling in my mid 20s. However as I make my way through my late 30s my teeth however are beginning to show signs of wear and tear (too many sweets!) but they are still a reasonable colour so I don't at this point have to buy any toothpastes with promises of whitening capabilities.
Given it’s name, I wasn’t surprised to find that the toothpaste has three stripes. In this case of this paste, it has one dark blue, white and light blue stripe which does look very clean and refreshing. The light blue stripe looks more gel-like than the other two.
It has a very clean, light spearmint smell. I mention light, as some toothpastes that I have used in the past have such a strong mintiness to them that they sometimes feel as if they are slightly 'burning' the inside of your mouth, not so with this one.
I tend to put a lot of toothpaste on my brush which really isn't needed with this paste, a little really does go a long way. It froths up quite a bit, a factor that I like. It may be psychological but I think the more froth you get the cleaner your teeth will become!
It cleans really well. My teeth feel totally clean after using it but since it has no whitening properties they don't make your teeth look like those seen on adverts that glisten in the light but I ask you, which ones do? It also freshens your breath, even the morning after a good night out!
As for all of it's promises about fighting cavities. I'm sure it helps in some way as dentist's wouldn't have it on show in their waiting rooms if it did absolutely nothing to combat cavities. However since I’m not from a dental background I don’t feel suitably educated to give you the ins and outs of this aspect of the toothpaste!
All I am able to give you is a lay person’s verdict of the paste: ~ It isn’t so minty that it burns your mouth ~ My breath is instantly refreshed ~ It leaves my teeth feeling suitably clean.
♠♠ Other Colgate Toothpastes ♠♠
Colgate have a host of dental care products; toothbrushes, toothpastes, mouthwashs etc. I have listed some of the toothpastes currently available:
Total
Total Plus Whitening
Total Advanced Fresh
Sensitive
Sensitive Whitening
2 in 1
My 1st Colgate (for under 7s)
All in all I am pleased with this toothpaste which for some reason is a whole lot cheaper than other Colgate toothpastes, even when it isn’t on special offer etc. Well worth a try!
Advantages: cool minty freshness without the burn. Disadvantages: can go a bit crispy round the cap.
...honest although I mostly prefer Colgate products of some sort or another.
Colgate have been producing toothpastes since Jesus was a boy (1837 to be precise) although the company have been around in some form or another for much longer. This particular Colgate product is in my opinion one of the best.
Triple cool stripe from Colgate provides you with an intense cleaning power and a very strong minty freshness however although the minty smell is ... ...comes packaged in the usual Colgate red packaging and when opened you will find a squeezy tube with a flip top lid. Keep the cap closed ant the top of the tube clean to avoid the excess paste from going hard and ending up on your brush next time round (not pleasant).
I bought my tube of this paste from my local asda at the cost of a little over 90p for a 100ml tube which is around the same price as you will pay for any of the leading brands. Although ...

Advantages: my teeth have stopped bleeding and hurting. Disadvantages: none,other than fairly expensive
Well,you've heard all about the mouthwash I use,let's include the toothpaste!
Colgate have been around for years.
The ads in ye olde days used to have pretty chicks and handsome guys with a ring of confidence round them..
Today,you can pick up so many different varieties the rows kinda bewilder you at times-but being colgate,you know it's a brand you can trust.
It isn't cheap-But it's not the most expensive either-(and I must confess to a soft spot for Asda's own(what else can you expect from chrissie..lol..!!)
but mostly,I rely on ColgatesTriplecoolstripe cavity protection-and it's the cavity protection that thse days I find myself turning to-more and more.
The recognisable Red white and striped blue tube will stare back at you from any supermarket,chemist,drugstore,and the like.
Again,Asda's 100ml tube will only set you ...
Advantages: Tasty, easy to use, looks good Disadvantages: Bit pricey!
I found this product on offer at our local Sainsbury's a few weeks back, so not being one to turn down a good deal, thought I'd buy some. And what a good choice decision that was! I've found this toothpaste to be my favourite yet, and use it on a regular basis now.
The particular variety I'm talking about (and forgive me if I've put it under the wrong Colgate heading!) is the ColgateTripleCoolStripe Fluoride toothpaste.
Packaging
This variety comes in a hard round bottle, about 8 inches tall, and about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (sound familiar ladies?!?!) The bottle has a flat base, so can be stood on a shelf or cabinet. It is predominantly red with Colgate written diagonally up the bottle. TripleCool tripe is printed in blue and white at the top, just below the cap. The cap is clear plastic, and is ...
Advantages: Does its job well. Disadvantages: Boring white coloured paste.
for young children, and some toothpaste brands contain too much.
Macleans Freshmint toothpaste is accredited by the BDA as one that has a normal fluoride content. Brands such as ColgateTripleCoolStripe and Crest Complete have a high content and are not recommended particularly for children under the age of six. Too much fluoride can cause flourosis and, as children can ingest fluoride, it is advised that you supervise their brushing and only allow them to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on their brush.
Although Macleans Freshmint contains some fluoride it is still a good choice in your oral hygiene regime. So when I discovered that it was also being sold for 55p for a 50ml tube I was very impressed that something so reasonably priced could be good for you too. Freshmint also comes in 150ml tubes and also in pump dispensers ...
