Where Do You Spit Toothpaste When Camping? Practical Tips For Outdoor Oral Hygiene

When camping, it’s important to handle toothpaste properly to minimize its impact on the environment. Instead of spitting it out onto the ground, which can be harmful if ingested by animals, consider one of these alternatives: spit it into a designated waste bag and pack it out with your other trash, or spray it out in a controlled manner to avoid leaving large globs behind. Burying it in one spot can also be a viable option. This responsible approach helps preserve the natural surroundings for future generations of campers.

When camping, it’s important to be mindful of the environment while practicing oral hygiene. Avoid leaving used floss or clumps of toothpaste at the campground, as they can be harmful to animals if ingested. Instead, choose a spot at the far edge of the campsite to brush your teeth. Afterward, spray your saliva to disperse it, reducing its impact on the environment. This simple practice can go a long way in preserving the natural surroundings.
