Your Toothbrush

[BlueStarryHat]

Help me settle a silly argument. Do you wet your toothbrush before you squeeze the toothpaste on? I say yes, my friend says no way.

Told you it was a silly argument.

 

[pryncess527]

Yes

 

[mom2rtk]

Always. I think it helps sudz up the toothpaste.

 

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

I wet it.
It would be gross putting it in your moth all dry and just your spit to we it.
OMG seriously now I'm gagging at the thought!

 

[Wishing on a star]

I don't think it matters!

But, I am with Queen, above.
Ewwwwww!!!!!!
I don't use a dry toothbrush on my teeth And, if you wet it after you squeeze the toothpaste, you risk the toothpaste coming off and washing down the drain!

I use plenty of water when I brush.

The rule ^^^


My answer is yes, always wet the toothbrush. To the OP, why not make it a poll? Be sure to include 'other' as a choice, as we know DIS'ers always have an 'other' reason, lol

 

[aprilgail]

I wet the brush before putting toothpaste on and then again quickly after the toothpaste is on it!

Water first... works as a lubricant and softens the bristles.

 

[ImDMous]

Definitely wet before, and a little after.

 

[rastahomie]

I wet it, helps the toothpaste get all nice & sudsy.

 

[bellebud]

yes

Toothpaste first - then wet

 

[momto2girls]

Yes, before and after toothpaste.

Good idea! I've made it a poll.

 

[prprincess]

Yes, cleans/softens bristles and lathers up the toothpaste!

 

[Lilacs4Me]

Yes, and LOL

So far, it is 100% yes

 

[willowsnn3]

And for even more detail......
I wet the brush thoroughly, run it over my teeth several times, rinse my mouth & the brush, floss, then re wet the brush--add toothpaste and then brush my teeth, lol.

And I do all that in private. I cannot stand for someone to be in the room when I am brushing and I can't stand to see other people brush their teeth. All those tv shows and ads where people are all talking with a mouthful of suds just make me gag.

Too much info?? Lol

Me too.

Wet the brush to rinse off any dust that has settled on it since yesterday,* apply toothpaste, then wet again to ensure good sudsing.


* I do brush twice a day, but I have two brushes and tend to use the downstairs one in the morning and the upstairs one at night.

I saw that I am SO in the minority here. I always put the toothpaste on my brush dry, then brush my teeth. I suppose I just think putting toothpaste onto a wet toothbrush creeps me out or something, I dunno. I have always done it that way. I know that I destroy toothbrushes quickly. I have this weird habit of chewing on them. I don't even mean to do it, just happens without realizing what I am doing.
