really happened thou.

Recently replaced my old Hebe one (made in China) as it has shrunk too much after years of washing. Also, cotton feels much better than microfibre

They usually have these small Polish brands' socks that you won't find in regular clothes shops.

Thanks u/ninjanibbs, your question reminded me I needed some

🇩🇪 Lacalut activ herbal

Conclusion: even this random choice gives an option with fluoride and not, with SLS and not, each in different flavour and price range. It's worth checking out what Europe can offer! Then maybe will be finally realise that the dominance of American Colgate, blend-a-med, Oral-B, Meridol (and USA-owned Elmex but I know opinions are divided) is completely unnecessary.
