My toothbrush is so soft it’s like trying to fuck drunk.

That's why you should have a desk tomato.

Truly one of the problems of our time

find one you like, that's 'perfect', couple months later you go back to get another..

I just buy the two pack of Colgate brushes at Dollar Tree and they are always the same softness.

brush with two fingers

unless that brush is literal sand paper this shiuld resolve your issue

The inverse happened to me just recently. Tried out every "soft" brush in the store, all hard to medium. Bought one of them again and it's feather soft. There has to be regulation on this because it just pisses me off to play toothbrush roulette.

How is your toothbrush damaging? You don't need to press as hard as you can!!

Ask your dentist why they recommend soft toothbrushes next time you see them

I've never had a dentist or hygienist recommended any specific type of toothbrush to me outside of electric toothbrushes. The big thing they seem to care about is flossing.

You're not using the wire bristle brushes are you? Those aren't for teeth.

Ask them about who they would recommend soft brushes to anyway.

If it's good enough for my BBQ grill, it's good enough for my face grill. 😤

Clearly you've never had a soft brush. A "normal" brush will irritate my gums even when I press gently. An actual soft brush is comfortable no matter how hard I press.

American here, but ive been recommended soft brushes my entire life. Ive also been given soft brushes for free by dentists.

What if I go to the 10th dentist?

I don't care what you're saying. I'm not using those on my bunghole ever again!

We've had good consistency with Rongsi bamboo and charcoal toothbrushs. $12 for 12 brushes, biodegradeable, and soft.
