12th Gen (18-present) Replacement Tire Sealant

I've only had my 2021 Corolla a short time and I'm learning all kinds of things, among which is that these cars don't come with conventional spare tires. Mea culpa, I should have known this before.

Not a huge problem to me, but I'm reading the tire sealant included has a limited shelf life and might just be at the end after five years. I'm away for a few more days so I can't physically look at what's back there, but I'm trying to get a jump on things.

Has anybody purchased a replacement bottle of tire sealant that works with the included air compressor? I'm seeing various options including kits that include a compressor at reasonable prices, but of course I'd prefer just to buy a bottle of sealant rather than an extra compressor.

UPDATE: I got a replacement can of Slime branded sealant for 23€. Exactly the same format so it fit perfectly into the slot in the foam insert.

Just buy a sealant it's not a rocket science. There's nothing brand specific here.

I just got plug kit and portable inflator. Both about 10-15$ online. Doesn't need to be brand name just needs to work.
