A toothbrush is a must-have in every bathroom and we use it several times a day. It helps maintain oral hygiene and ensure the good condition of your teeth. However, it often happens that we apply too much paste on it. How to deal with this? You probably don’t realize there is a hidden function in most toothbrushes that will make the whole thing much easier.
Why do toothbrushes have colored bristles? There is one reason
Many models of toothbrushes, both regular, traditional, electric and sonic, have bristles of different colors. Most often, there are two, with the upper part being darker. Few people know that it is not just an aesthetic solution that is intended to make the product prettier and, therefore, more willing to buy. In addition, they have some practical applications. If you have ever wondered how much toothpaste we should use when washing, this colorful fragment will give you the answer.
How much toothpaste should you put on your toothbrush? Look at its bristles
The unusual use of darker bristles on the toothbrush was revealed by an internet creator named Jess. – Have you ever wondered why your toothbrush has different colors? – she asked Internet users in one of the recordings published on TikTok. It turns out that the smallest (and often darkest) element “determines” how much we should use. Not everyone realizes that applying it to the entire length of the brush is a mistake and a waste of product and money. According to recommendations an adult should consume an amount approximately the size of a pea at a time. This is enough for both the toothpaste and the toothbrush to fulfill their functions one hundred percent. Children’s products also have a similar “marker”, although in this case it is usually in the middle.
Internet users surprised. “I learned a new thing”
Jess’ explanation surprised Internet users, who commented on her video in large numbers and also shared their observations about additional functionalities of toothbrushes.
Today I learned a new thing
I have never heard about this
So throughout my life I have been using 10,000% more toothpaste than I needed?
Some of the bristles are colored because the more you use them, the color disappears to show that it’s time to replace your toothbrush
