Toothpaste poll

[Dr T]

OK, so my question for you all is how do you guys squeeze the toothpaste tube?  

[Dravin]

When the tube is fresh I'm a little indiscriminate on where the pressure is applied, but once it's emptied a bit such that it's easier to flatten that's the route I tend to go.

[Dr T]

Thanks Dravin. anybody else?

I actually had to go squeeze the toothpaste tube to discover what I did.

 

I squish from the sides.

I already voted...but, was going to say, I squish flat from bottom up, but my husband squishes right at the top. It actually makes for a good way for both of us because of the way each of us puts the tube back into the toothpaste holder cup.

 

When my husband puts in back into the holder, he puts it in so when I grab it the bottom end is already sticking up. When I put it in the top is sticking out of the holder.

 

Maybe that is why we squish the way we do... it's all in how you grab the toothpaste out of the holder. LOL

I'm a flat from bottom up and I use a toothbrush to flatten out the tube after people make it crumpled. I like flat, nice and neat.

I push down... I use Mentadent on the handy dandy dispenser...

But when I was using tubes, I roll the bottom of the tube ...

I do it however the person before me did!

It's a compulsive thing stemming from living with too many people / not willing to choose that battle.

Even living on my own,.. I always look at the tube before squeezing. Hmmmmm. Wouldn't want to be mad at myself?
