Best manual toothbrushes according to redditors

I have these bamboo ones!

Highly recommend switching :)

EDIT this comment started a huge conversation! I’m so proud! Thank everyone for the positive feedback and bonus points to those who said they were switching! Let’s help the planet!

Okay, you know those makeup removal wipes that look like baby wipes? You're a boy so you probably don't, but you need to familiarize yourself as fuck, yo.

Because those motherfuckers will make your junk smell like cucumber melon magic and clean any grode off your chode if you don't have time to catch a shower before or after. They're safe for mucous membranes (around eyes, lips, pits, glans and vulvas) and leave no residue. They're cheap and you can toss them right in the trash -don't flush them.
So! My advice to all ladies and gents who have quickies, hookups, or overnight guests is to buy some makeup removal wipe packs and keep them somewhere visible for you and your conquest guests.

Everyone who's had a quickie knows the pain of leaving sticky, and some of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Epielle-Cucumber-Cleansing-Tissues-Pre-moistened/dp/B00BR8QPMG) will clean traces off your faces and places.

[Wisp single-use toofbrushes] (https://www.amazon.com/Colgate-Disposable-Travel-Toothbrush-Peppermint/dp/B00HXAIN90/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1505620912&sr=8-1&keywords=wisps+toothbrushes). Cheap lifesavers for all occasions.

Pack an extra outfit, a clean one that fits. Toss a dryer sheet with your favorite scent sprayed on in the bag with it in your car or gym bag. If you use it, wash and replace it.

Wet and fix your hair. Yes, it probably looks bad.

Also, samplers of high-end perfume or cologne can make you smell put-together even if you're a nasty freak who just [blank] with a [blank] in a [blank] while a gang member watched and the accountant [blanked] all over your [blank.]

You can have a 3 year supply shipped to your doorstep in a week.

I know you're just joking, but these kinds of things are so useful for road trips.

My favorite international flight outfit is a loose tee-shirt dress (which I belt, but I take the belt off once I'm trying to get comfy), a long cardigan, leggings, and slip-on shoes. I'll keep some socks in my bag, along with my glasses so I can take out my contacts and really sleep. And these disposable toothbrushes are AWESOME for making you feel like a human again; you don't need water, and you don't even need to spit. These deodorant wipes are also amazing, almost as good as a shower. (You know. Relatively speaking.) Oh, and if you want to get really fancy, take a fresh pair of underwear that you can change into in the bathroom before customs. And dry shampoo! Aww yeah, brushed teeth, clean underarms, clean hair, and fresh underwear, you'll feel like a whole new person.

Edit: I spelled "underwear" wrong. You should totally trust me.

I would say that's not the norm here. There are some people that will do this, but I'd consider it strange in the US to bring a toothbrush to work and brush your teeth there. I've known some that use these as an alternative.

Personally, I brush when I wake up, then at night before I go to bed. I may have a mint during the day to help convince myself my teeth aren't rotting.

Gotta be fake... FUCK!

My everyday carry includes a "Wisp" disposable toothbrush, for just this reason.

Oral-B used to make an even better version called "Brush-Ups" that were basically a little toothpaste-infused paper sleeve that you put over your finger and brushed with it. They packed flat - package was about the size and thickness of a business card. To my great sadness they stopped making them.

Toothbrush (with integrated toothpick). An individual one of these weight less than a tenth of a gram.

Colgate wisp.

This is the whackiest idea but I swear to you it works. At least it works for me. I use the end of a vibrating toothbrush. I keep one of these in my swim bag for just this application.

I turn it one, press the end of it against the base of my ear and lean my head over. Ear unclogs in less than 10 seconds every single time.

TIL: I need this.

1. Colgate Max Fresh Wisp Disposable Mini Toothbrush, Peppermint - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HXAIN90/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_srDoDbQNF1M5N
   
   Great for on the go and at my desk for a quick “brush” but there aren’t many in a pack so I try to use no more than 1 of these per day. I got mine at Target but probably would get a better deal on Amazon.
   
   
2. Plackers Orthopick Flosser for Braces - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AKJ3W7I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HsDoDbRJTQV6P
   
   Samples of these came in my “kit” from my ortho and I ordered a stock on amazon. I use these at nigh and use my waterpik in the morning.
   
   
3. Plackers Grind No More Dental Night Guard for Teeth Grinding- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003GDKH9C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xtDoDbMBQ84EH
   
   I let my dentist and ortho know I use these (I prefer them to any other mouth guard I’ve tried) and they ok’d them with braces since they aren’t the heat & mold kind. I use them for a little longer than the box recommends (3 days) but toss them when they get gross.
   
   
4. GUM Orthodontic Wax, Mint with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KQ9FF1J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iuDoDbAEJZPTT
   
   I keep seeing people saying they can’t keep wax on. I love this wax (I got 2 kinds, no flavor and mint) because it’s perforated and easy to size out. Just roll in your fingers before applying otherwise it’s not going to stick. The mint is nice and fresh! I am using this a lot while my cheeks are getting used to poking metal but always remove before eating or brushing!
   
   
5. Preserve Mint Tea Tree Flavored Toothpicks- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077J1K6ZY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yvDoDbZ4D9Y
   
   Do not use these too aggressively, you don’t want to damage your braces! But after a meal these have been a lifesaver for me. I gently (and hopefully discretely) get food unstuck. I got minty ones and keep a pack in jackets, backpack, car... I’m serious when I say lifesaver!
   
   
6. Trident Sugar Free Chewing Gum- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F1W4Y48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AwDoDb2NFAKMM
   
   This is a bigger debate than getting wax to stick! My ortho did tell me that sugar free gum is allowed but not too much and don’t keep chewing it if it dissolves. Consult your ortho if you’re not sure. I was surprised to find that almost all gum is sugar free. Not all but most. I was searching all over for “SUGAR FREE” specifically and it was right at the register! I might get the 15 pack on Amazon though.
   
   
7. Slim Brush Interdental Cleaners- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MHV3VW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cyDoDb81CT899
   
   Honestly I don’t use these that often but once and a while it’s nice to clean every nook and cranny. I have to force myself to floss every day so this isn’t something I use often. They are more gentle than toothpicks but food gets caught in the tiny bristles and it turns into a mess. I picked up a small pack at Target.

Not sure, I get them next day with free shipping because I have prime. You can check yourself though if you don't: https://smile.amazon.com/Biodegradable-Charcoal-Toothbrushes-Compostable-Kooler-Things/dp/B07HRXYYNF

I have the same problem.. with lots of things (though teeth brushing is the only personal care thing) and I COMPLETELY understand the

>I'm not scared of the treatment I know I will need, I'm ashamed of myself and him seeing how badly I've failed myself.

I sit here shaggy haired in need of a haircut.. but for some reason I feel embarrassed to go to the damn barber because it's been so long. Stupid, I know..

Anyway.. Oral care.. Here's what I've started doing. Get several packs of these Colgate Wisp things. I keep a pack in the car, a pack in my office, a pack at home.. just wherever. They're especially great in the car. I don't think they're better than brushing the usual way, but they're loads better than nothing. They leave your teeth squeaky clean and your breath fresh.

I carry around a bunch of disposable toothbrushes.

Then again, I've also used the GUM ones that you don't like and found them to be alright, so YMMV.

Black box is booster chair, one box is a peanut balance ball, the other box contains sensory brushes, stacking peg board set, and a stack and sort puzzle. Not sure what the other box is - might be the piggy bank and tactile dog house toy.

1)a snow stake for a trowel weighs 1oz, and tp weighs just as little. pooping regularly enough to need to have them on you is priceless.

2)take one or two of these

and overall, you don't follow through with your premise, you're not proposing any real departure from standard UL practice. although i think everyone was assuming that not being a filthy beast was a given part of standard UL methodology.

You can get a Nuk brush or infant toothbrush, but that's more to get them used to having your fingers in their mouth than for actual hygiene. Once they do get teeth, start using one of those products asap so they don't fight you when they're bigger!

They are making the claim that the process of cleaning is what the product improves upon. Your mouth isn't sterilized by chewing on bristles, and no one is being misled into believing that.

They are claiming that the product does the job of a toothbrush (and partially flossing), but quicker, and more effectively because of less work put in. This could be really helpful for people with special needs who use specialized brushes. This is a small company, with a product that completely reworks a ubiquitous one. They are currently studying it now, and have FDA approval for the materials being used.

I thought you were being facetious because it struck a nerve, but then I saw your comment history. Go figure. If you have any other questions, please direct them to the manufacturer. I don't have anything else for you. This seems like a product in the early stages of marketing, so try not to get too flustered over it.

Keep a small stockpile of these in the car.

They aren't perfect, but they'll get the job started, at the very least.

I like to use these or these. The breath strips (link 2) are by far the easiest, pop one into your mouth and go about your business. I personally am freakish about my oral hygiene so I usually use the brushes instead and just do it in my car or the restroom.

Oh gosh, I still think about this to this day and feel so ignorant and terrible about it. Ugh.

So my brother was home from Afghanistan ! YAY ! My parents rented this giant house not far from base so he could come back home and just relax and party as much as he needed to. In his time there, my mom kind of "adopted" someone in his company who had no real family. Anyways he and I are just dicking around, joking and having fun. Then he says something to me like "at least I don't ____" (I forget what he teased me about) and my brilliant retort was "well, at least I don't shower with other men" which he talked about earlier as part of his time over seas. Which I'm just like duh. They're out in the desert and when do were able to shower once a month, even less, they had to group up and do it fast. But I was just so ignorant and insensitive and I feel like a dumb, little girl when I think back on that. A few months afterwards I apologized and said I was so sorry and stupid for saying that. He didn't remember what I said, but still. It was a relief to get his forgiveness.

Someone tape junigole's mouth shut!

I use this with my little guy and until recently I used a fluoride free toothpaste. He now has a molar so the dentist said to start using a fluoride toothpaste.

• Pelican 1050
  
  
• Boyd Gun Rug(s) w/ Pocket; pistol(s) inside, extra mags in the side pocket
  
  
• A couple boxes of ammo at the bottom of the Pelican
  
  
• Throw the holster on top
  
  
• Boresnake, travel toothbrush, small CLP squeeze bottle, and short stack of cleaning patches (10-20), all in a quart zippie-bag (aka cleaning kit).
  
  
• Put your cleaning kit in the box, lock with non-TSA locks, and you are now airline ready (you can put your belt in your checked luggage, or wear it through security).
  

I like the Colgate Wisps.

TOOTHBRUSH

This is the electric toothbrush I use and recommend: Sonicare Flex Care Plus. It is cheapest at Costco but comes in a pack of 2. It's important to replace the brush head every 3-4 months. Sonicare now has a subscription service to automatically send you a new brush head when it's time to replace, or you can buy the brush heads when you need them; they come out to approx $9 each on amazon but you can get 6 for $50 at Costco and they oftentimes have a $10 instant rebate. If you need to use a manual toothbrush, I recommend the Nimbus manual toothbrush. These Wisps are really handy when you can't brush after eating.  

FLOSS

The floss I recommend is Dr. Tung's Smart Floss and you can use this  Floss Holder to make it easier to use. (Amazon only sells the floss in packs of 3 or 6 so if you want to purchase a single pack you can find it at Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, or Sprouts.) A Waterpik can also be a great tool, this one is a Handheld Waterpik and is more convenient to use. You can use it in the shower and it takes up less counter space. 

TOOTHPASTE/MOUTHWASH

This Crest Gum and Sensitivity  paste is one of my favorites and I like Act Total Care mouthwash. When choosing a toothpaste or mouthwash, look for "sodium fluoride" as an active ingredient.  It's best to stay away from mouthwashes with alcohol in them and whitening/charcoal pastes because the abrasives in them can damage the teeth. If you use a whitening rinse with hydrogen peroxide, only use it 2-3 times per week to avoid making the gum tissue sensitive. Other than that, whatever you prefer is just fine.

WHITENING

For an inexpensive whitening treatment Crest White Strips are a good option.

Yeah I kinda do. I didn't get it at first but...now I get it.

We could probably share a tube of toothpaste?

Edit: https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Tuft-Toothbrushes-Ind-Wrapped/dp/B005AZU9O2

I think I fall in line with most of the folks here. If I have the equipment and the time, I'll brush/floss, I've noticed I need to swoosh around a lot more after brushing. I'll swish and spit a few mouthfuls of water and make sure nothing everything that was dislodged is out of my mouth. If I'm on the run or out, I'll just rinse/toothpick/use one of these, and toss em back in. As many have suggested, if I'm out all day and don't get a good brush, I'll spend a little extra time cleaning the tray at night. Do do a full on brush/floss every time I eat is a bit excessive, but I will say I don't feel "right" until I have done a brush floss, for instance, I will likely never go to bed without brushing/flossing and making sure there's no chunks in/around the trays.

I really try to brush/floss after eating. Keeping these: https://www.amazon.com/Colgate-Wisp-Peppermint-16-Brushes/dp/B001TH8Y60, along with travel floss in my purse and/or go bag for places (airport bathrooms; grungy bars; or even my office if I don't have time to get to the ladies for a proper cleaning) I don't want to use a toothbrush has been helpful

There are better methods!

• 3 sided manual toothbrush
  
• 3 sided powered toothbrush (Sonicare-compatible available)
  
• Not enough time for those? How about 10 seconds?
  
• Still too long? Can you spare 3 seconds?

I think the only reason to cut down toothbrushes is because they are easier to pack not to save weight (maybe this is an entirely different thread). I use this travel toothbrush.

Holy shit - http://www.amazon.com/Colgate-Wisp-Peppermint-16-Brushes/dp/B001TH8Y60

$4 for 16! that's amazing! I looked at those a while back and they were stupid expensive. Buying now!

I'm also planning to get spray deodorant from the grocery store when I pick up baskets and put in Tide-to-go Sticks which we already have at home.

You could buy a pack of these a month without it being outrageous.

They're decent brushes too.

You could get some of those waterless disposable toothbrushes Colgate Max Fresh Wisp Disposable Mini Toothbrush, Peppermint - 24 Count (4 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071DPCBQG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ENDoDbGR3KFH6

Whether or not this is a reasonable request on her part is sort of a moot point, since it's obviously something she's not willing to budge on. If this is a deal breaker for you, that would be understandable, but it doesn't seem like it is. It's possible that she'll relax about this as time goes on, and that process will probably be quicker if you are accommodating--turning it into a fight will probably make her double down. If your primary concern is that you'd like to be able to kiss at restaurants, I would look into some disposable toothbrushes w/ toothpaste on them already. (https://www.amazon.com/Adult-Pre-Pasted-Disposable-Toothbrushes-pack/dp/B00AU4LNBG?th=1) Pop one in your pocket before you go out, brush right after the steak etc., then you can kiss on the rest of your date.

​

Personally, I used to have a similar rule with my gf, and got over it. The smell/taste of meat and dairy is pretty gross to me and I didn't want to start associating it with her kissing me! But over time as we got closer that seemed less and less likely. Best of luck to you two!

Use a meswak instead https://www.amazon.com/Sewak-Al-Falah-Traditional-Natural-Toothbrush/dp/B00F22IZY4/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_194_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D1DDYQ2KBWNN1WM91QQJ .https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvadora_persica

I keep these nearby always (next to bed, in the car, everywhere).

Consider making an Amazon list with the things you are looking for.

http://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Tuft-Toothbrushes-Case-Pack/dp/B005AZU9O2

Here are 144 toothbrushes for about 12$ including shipping.

I use these disposable Oral B Pulsar toothbrushes. No upfront cost and they last about 3-4 months each for me. I get good results with them.

Disposable electric toothbrush (costs about the same as a disposable non-electric toothbrush): http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Pulsar-Medium-Bristle-Toothbrush/dp/B003CP12QG/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K7VZ138/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_spqpybSEJDK5Q

I use these Disposable Travel Toothbrushes. Super light, I can get a few uses out of each one (if I bring a little toothpaste along as well). I rarely hike longer than a week, so if you're going the distance then I suppose a more traditional toothbrush would weigh less than having to bring more than a few of these.

My boyfriend will be sent to Afghanistan soon. Is a wifi signal easy to find or should we rely on netbook/laptops for webcaming? What's an unusual thing that the troops love to get in the mail? For example, I've heard that the troops love the Colgate wisps. Also, do they actively check all the stuff for porn? Will I need to encrypt it before sending it to him?

I have crazy sensitive teeth/gums and probably also brush too hard, and things seem to be better when I brush once a day with the electric (I do it at night) and morning/after lunch with a super soft brush.

A dental hygienist recommended the Nimbus brush to me a while back, so I use it or this one, depending on what's cheaper when I run out. The GUM one isn't as soft as the Nimbus but it's softer than regular soft toothbrushes.

Also, some electric toothbrushes have "sensitive" settings. I have an Oral-B from Costco and it goes a bit slower on the sensitive setting.

They're used to clean off surgery tables. I love getting brushed by them and I spent a lot of my childhood using them on the recommendation of my occupational therapist. They're plastic with stiff pointy bristles and it's really soothing. I used to have my mom run them down my back in long strokes.

Steripod for my toothbrush!

Thanks, UPS!

[I found this :)](Oranurse 50ml Unflavoured Toothpaste https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085AOSU0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6UDwybNWES6N8) and [this](DenTrust 3-Sided Toothbrush :: Specialty Toothbrush for AUTISM & Special Needs :: Autistic ASD :: Made In USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008C3UBD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZWDwybBQPKX40). If that's not what you are looking for there is a toothbrush they use at the dentist, I think oragel, and it's really soft. I personally like it and think it's a lot better than hard bristles.

Ha! I personally have given up on trying to grow a beard - For me it's currently an area I don't care about since it so easy to hide.

Some other ideas that might help:
Find a fiddle toy you like. For me personally I hate sticky feeling object so silly putty it terrible, and can make my trich actually worse. Soft fuzzy objects work the best for me.

I can't find a good photo, but the purple one in this photos that has a variable length are my favorite pipe cleaners. I fold the tip in to prevent it from poking me and often just wrap it and leave it around one of my fingers.

Posture! Seriously this is a huge one, but with studying it might be hard to execute, but since working on my posture at work I reduced my pulling at work by 90-95% Working on posture is one of the most effective methods against trich for males

Sensory Brushes are another one of my fidgets - The plus side of these is I can pull the little plastic brushes off.

You may want to look into NAC as well - It's not a miracle cure by any means but can help reduce urges around 10-40% I take around 1200-2400/mg a day


Anyhow good luck with finals - and hide / destroy the tweezers if you do have them.

Stay strong and as others indicated, try to find out the trigger for that and combat the trigger and not the response. Our kiddo does not do that but he will fall on the ground and cry. We sometimes use a surgical brush (http://www.amazon.com/Clippermill-Sensory-Brushes-6-Pack/dp/B001U1UFYE) and use that to rub his arms and legs which soothes him. Also we use Aveeno Daily Moisture lotion (lavender color) which also calms him.

I bought a bunch of those "travel disposable tooth brushes" for my office at work. Helps a bit after eating something that makes my mouth taste funky :D I think it kinda attributes to the nausea as well.

[I really like using these over carrying a brush and toothpaste. They weigh basically nothing and you can bring exactly as many as you need] (https://www.amazon.com/Colgate-Fresh-Disposable-Toothbrush-Peppermint/dp/B071DPCBQG)
Edit: you can get single bags at most grocery stores for 6 or 7 bucks
