How do you squeeze the toothpaste

[Dax]

Ok, I have this MAJOR pet peeve of my DH squeezing out toothpaste right from the center of the tube, instead if the ends....It drives me bonkers....


So I ask? How do you do it? And how can I handle a middle squeezer?

I'm a middle squeezer. My husband doesn't say anything to me about it, but I notice that he "fixes" the tubes by squeezing from the end. I say don't let it stress you that your husband squeezes from the middle. I pick my battles and I have much less stress than if I let everything get to me (I know it's hard when it's a pet peeve). Good luck.

Why don't you each have your own tube? That way everyone can do their own thing.My brother always used to get on me for this when we were little. I just got my own tube!In the long run it doesn't cost any more since each tube will go twice as long with only one person using it. 2 tubes used by one person each = 1 tube used by two people.

I squeeze from the end but my husband squeezes in the middle.
About 5yrs. ago I invested in a little plastic tube squeezer, you put it on the end of the tube and slide it up as you use the toothpaste. Best thing i ever bought and it only cost $1.00

I admit it! I am a middle person!

my kids used to squeeze in the middle..after asking them repeatedly to squeeze from the end, I realized it wasn't that big a deal...........

so I started squeezing all the toothpaste down to the bottom...LOL...they then started squeezing from the bottom....

I squeeze the toothpaste tube from the bottom (ok, sometimes I squeeze it in the middle when it's a brand new tube ).

I squeeze from the end and my dad from the middle!! drives me crazy as I have to fix it when I use it and squeeze the toothpaste allback to the top
I think my mom does the middle too not to positive

DW and I are end squeezers. When DDs are home, it seems to be a free-for-all.

I'm a bottom squeezer - DH is a middle - we have two tubes.

Same here!

This is by far the best way to get toothpaste. Just push the pump.

I buy Mentadent because I'm the only one here that knows how to squeeze toothpaste tubes fromthe end.

I squeeze from the middle until it's almost empty, then I start the bottom squeeze.

Same here. It would probably be easier to just squeeze from the end all the time, but I guess I'm just used to squeezing from the middle.

i squeeze from the middle top.. hubby ALWAYS sqeezes from the bottom. it drives him nuts that i don't squeeze from the bottom. it bothers him so much we finally started getting the Crest Neat Squeeze so i can squeeze anywhere i want and it goes back to form.

Everyone in the house gets their own tube or plastic container....I don't like using toothpaste from a tube that someone else has used to put on their toothbrush!
