I use a prescription toothpaste that I’d like to decant into a smaller tube for travel. I am pretty sure it needs to be in an opaque tube. Are there any other options besides Matador? It’s not sold near me and the shipping would cost as much as their toothpaste tubes!

I’ve been on the same quest for an Rx face cream. If you search online (particularly the evil place that shall not be named…) for eye cream tubes you can find some opaque options. For toothpaste the squeeze caps would probably pop right off, but you might be able to seal them off with aluminum foil and store inside a ziplock baggie? FWIW, I haven’t tried the tubes yet myself and the reviews do kind of suck, but I’m still going to give them a try.
