Toothpaste Question | Pad Patter Jan 3

[AnneofAlamo]

Sooooooooo here we are in the midst of Month of Challenges
and
I am wanting to know more about YOU!
There are two very important questions in this thread!
First off?
What kind of toothpaste do you use?
I use
AquaFresh Extreme Clean for my chompers

my kids are Colgate kids, I was a Crest kid, but my kids hate it! lol, but no cavities so I don't argue.

Then................
are you a neat toothpaste squeezer?
I am not!

I was very up front before I got married, as my husband is press from the bottom kinda guy.
He used to fix ours daily. Now I just have my own, and the toothpaste people invented a way cool tube, so you can't tell I am a squeeze it in the middle kinda gal!

 

[jenn mccabe]

squeeze anywhere to get the job done fast. there's too many things in life that need to be organized my toothpaste tube is not one of them!

i use Tom's toothpaste.

 

[lynning]

Crest ProHealth in the morning + Aquafresh Extreme Clean at night

I'm a neat toothpaste tube squeezer. My parents taught me that it was the only acceptable way. My kids and husband on the other hand... not so neat!

 

[berniek]

I grew up using Elmex. I still use it.

And these tubes are different from the ones I had to buy in Canada. These are plastic and stay the same, no matter how full or empty. If I had to use "your" kind, I would start squeezing wherever and then halfway done, I would start squeezing the neat way.

I've been using some off brand I don't recall the name of. Several months ago I bought a handful of new toothpastes for my son to try, to encourage him to brush more, so it's one of those.

I squeeze from the bottom, but not in a particularly tidy way. Just a half-hearted attempt to be economical and neat.

I think mine is Crest Fresh Mint paste (not overpowering). I roll the end in toward the top, just to get the most out of the tube, otherwise it's not an issue. Boys have ones that stand and the paste seems to head to the bottom, so it's pretty neat. Boys have particular tastes so they choose their own. I don't try to remember what it is, they want a certain kind, they have to know. Peter will use anything, he's so laid back.

I am a crest 3D girl.. I most of the time squeeze up from the bottom but other times squeeze in the middle.. LOL Hubby uses colgate total so we each have our own. Lately I have been using the trial size trying to use them up since we always get them when we go to the dentist.. also sometimes if Crest comes out with a new kind, I grab the trial at walmart to try it out before buying a full tube.. FUn conversation Anne!

I use a whitening toothpaste (numerous brands, no loyalty to any one particular brand) and alternate with a Young Living essential oil toothpaste that I love the taste of.

I do try to squeeze from the bottom b/c that drives me a bit batty when the tube is all messed up LOL. It's funny b/c I'm so messy and disorganized about some things....and then not others, like toothpaste LOL.

 

[BevG]

ha ha - I can not answer that poll as I do both!! So I squeeze in the middle until it is 1/3 gone or so, then I move it all up from the bottom, fold the bottom up, and squeeze in the middle while folded. Then repeat until finished. Do I get a prize for being unique?

I also use Glister by Amway. We signed up 27 years ago and I am too lazy to search out new brands when I can click and order online.

 

[Scrapping with Liz]

I squeeze from wherever, but then when it's almost empty I roll and squeeze.

 

[cookingmylife]

Bottom squeezer! of toothpaste! and like Liz, I roll it up and often fasten it with a large paperclip. I don't even know what kind it is; I buy what's on sale.

 

[Nemla]

Sensodyne pro enamel morning, Oral B night. Still get cavities and broken teeth though. A bottom squeezed am I LoL.

 

[IntenseMagic]

I try really hard to squeeze from the bottom and then the mornings get rushed and I squeeze anywhere LOL. I use Crest 3D White currently.

 

[Kiana]

I'm a squeeze nicely from the bottom, but DH is the opposite so I end up going back after him and smoothing it out evenly. ROFL

I use the Crest fresh mint, same as Jenn. I'm squeeze where ever, but neatly until it gets almost empty. Then I press and roll to get every last bit out.

So I squeeze in the middle until it is 1/3 gone or so, then I move it all up from the bottom, fold the bottom up, and squeeze in the middle while folded.

I'm somewhere in between this with squeezing! But, we all have our own tubes, so we don't share and I'm not bugging anyone else! It's the one thing I'm a germaphobe about - toothpaste and toothbrushes. Sick germs spread so quickly with that!

Toothpaste? Whatever is in the drawer. I think it's Crest kids right now? Toothpaste makes me sick, so I try different brands a lot.

 

[bbymks5]

I'm not loyal to anyone brand or type of toothpaste, but I always squeeze from the bottom and I'm constantly fixing the mess hubby makes of the tube since he just squeezes wherever LOL

Just buy two! One for him, one for you!

 

[gonewiththewind]

I have my own tube of toothpaste, and I like Crest, but right now I'm using Colgate in a bottle. When I use a tube, I use this handy dandy device I picked up at the Dollar Tree. They don't carry it anymore, but you can find it on Amazon for under $10.

 

[AnneofAlamo]

Bhahah @gonewiththewind, that device is pure hilarious! My hubby would love it...I think that early morning squeeze is like a power for me...I sure know I wouldn't twirl my toothpaste. I am just giggling at that invention.
