[BlindTlk] applying toothpaste

[Margaret Ricciardi]

I squirt a tiny bit of tooth paste into my mouth and start brushing. I started doing it this way when I had hand surgery. No mess. If you are the only one using the tube, works great.

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.

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.
