But we have loads lying around. I brush my teeth a lot so there's always some in my bag, in my desk drawer, in bathroom cabinets, in bedroom boxes and so on. It's pretty dispensable in my house.
Never really thought about it but i suppose I squeeze from the middle generally, until it starts running out then I squeeze it all up from the bottom until I can squeeze no more. OH will often just get a new toothpaste out when he hasn't even tried squeezing the old one ?
Squeeze from the bottom. H squeezes from the middle.
He is very particular about his toothpaste, has to have a certain kind of Sensodyne, whereas I'm happy with whatever from the 99p store. So we have different toothpaste tubes.
We do however share the same electric toothbrush, albeit with different heads. Apparently this is disgusting. We think it's fine as we're not sharing the actual bit which goes in your mouth. Thoughts?
Fine. Boy has expressed an interest in my electric toothbrush often enough for me to have purchased some heads for him. He's not dared use it yet though, not sure what's scaring him.
But we would happily share regular toothbrushes anyway so my answer might be skewed.
Because then we'd have to fork out for two separate toothbrush bases, plus two chargers etc! We never brush our teeth at the same time so it seemed wasteful to buy two (because we didn't mind sharing, if we had minded we'd have bought two).
I don't see anything wrong with sharing the same electric toothbrush with different heads. That's the whole reason they make them with different heads! When I was growing up, we had one as a family with 4 different heads. It's only the head bit that goes anywhere near your mouth.
I squeeze from whereever when it's still full. When it starts getting empty, I squeeze it up from the bottom.
I blame my childhood for not squeezing from the bottom (as I understand is the correct etiquette) as we always had the pump type toothpaste.
