So you know when you are cleaning your teeth

How do you make it so the toothpaste doesn’t dribble out of your mouth and onto your clothes/into your beard?

Following to find out how to do this too, I always have to brush my teeth before getting dressed as find it impossible not to spill.

I’m sure somebody here will have mastered it

Hi Bam,

I keep my mouth closed and pull up my top. Tried and tested.

Sup.

I lean over the sink.

Fun fact: my ex wife used to just brush with her mouth closed, then swallow. Fucking rank.

She is my ex wife.

Hi Al!

This is the thing, you can’t keep your mouth closed fully or at least I can’t.

I try to like purse my lips and keep them tense but the wiggling of the brush causes the toothpaste foam to dribble out of my mouth anyway

in the mornings i do it in the shower and in the evenings i’m less fussed about mess

Yeah this is doable but it’s boring to lean for a whole 2 minutes so I usually give up

Sometimes, I brush my teeth in the shower (if showering in the morning - as i’m normally bath/shower in the evening) then that negates the mess.

i very rarely dribble toothpaste on myself, and i’m a calamity of a man in every sense. can’t be that hard.

Hmm…it’s a tricky one i grant you. Feel like I auto-pilot a bit so find it hard to describe.

Try tilting your head up but NOT TOO FAR. An 8-10 degree gradient should do it. 11 degrees and you’re in gagging territory so save it for Thursday, please.

Agree. Also I’ve reached an age where when I readjust to upright it hurts a bit and I make a noise.

Good times.

the standing up from a chair noises deserve their own thread I think so we should save that juicy talk I reckon.

terrible when you’ve got a beard. the paste gets all matted up with the hair and its a nightmare getting it out.

but if it goes in your moustache you can suck it later on for some flavour
