[BlindTlk] applying toothpaste

[Debbie]

Hi Madison,
I usually wash my hands well, and after I dry them, I squeeze the tooth paste on one finger.  This way It doesn't gross anyone out, and I don't make a mess.  You can then put your finger into your mouth, or smear it right on to your brush.  I've done that for over 40 years.

Madison, I didn't see your original post. Here's what I do. I have the toothbrush on the counter. I'm lefthanded, so the toothpaste tube is in my left hand. I lightly touch the tip of my index finger on my right hand to the edge of the toothbrush and make sure I get the paste only on the top of the brush. It doesn't make a mess, and it makes sure I'm putting it exactly where I want it to be.

Hello Madison,

OK here is my solution and it’s an easy one. Don’t bother putting the toothpaste on your brush just squirt it directly into your mouth! Can have your own personal tube of toothpaste if it would gross out anybody else but it works perfectly and I’ve done it most of my life! You can also measure out the amount you want.
