How often do you replace your toothbrush?
 
I change mine every couple of months.

You.

I just bought a new all black one, soft, big head, rubber bits. Once every 3 months or so. The TL has Bamboo ones

Every 2 weeks

Marsh. 17-02-2020 05:53 PM

I change the head on my electric one every 2-3 months.

Alf 17-02-2020 05:55 PM

Every leap day.

So I get to change it in a fortnight, hurrah.

Whenever i fancy i have a big stock pile and they are marvellous for cleaning all sorts after :laugh:

a more important question is how often do you clean the thing that your toothbrushes sit in

they are full of saliva and germs :umm2:

I bleach out one once a month

vile

Saliva? Do you not clean the brush after use?

everyone does, but unless you use boiling water for 30 seconds saliva is there and it will run down the brush and into the receptical

as will faecal matter from flushing that sticks to the brush head

You keep the toothbrush in the bathroom next to the toilet? :omgno:

At least once a week, sometimes 3 - 4 a week. My youngest likes to use them as toys, or put them in the toilet, or scrub the walls with them, or brush the dog with them... or put salad cream on them... literally if she gets hold of a toothbrush it's GONE and I'm really bad at remembering to hide them, so they've just become part of the weekly shop :umm2:.

About every three months or earlier if the bristles get worn.

Ugh I used to come home and find my niece messing around with a random toothbrush in her gob. Kids are weird.

JerseyWins 01-03-2020 03:39 PM

Not often enough apparently :worry: I feel like I had my last one for like a year or maybe even a bit more... Although I did just get a new one 2-3 weeks ago now. They still always look clean and not-worn-out tho

I do wash it for a while both before & after brushing but it's probably still not good lol

Jessica. 01-03-2020 03:42 PM

Also we keep vented caps over the bristles of our toothbrushes in case the cats get at them, they are not interested but still prefer to be safe.

Beso 01-03-2020 04:36 PM

Once a month..


Socks...daily.

smudgie 01-03-2020 06:59 PM

Varies.
But I keep it sterile at all times.
