Youngest son and I went to get our teeth cleaned yesterday. As usual we were given a toothbrush, but the toothbrush is DEFECTIVE and has been thrown in the trash. Why? because it will not fit in the toothbrush holder. I found this aggravating enough to inform Procter & Gamble of the problem. Apparently I am not the only one as it was in their frequently asked questions. This was their REALLY STUPID SOLUTION.
Do they really think their customers are so stupid they couldn't figure out that they could use a glass. Obviously if someone took the time to write it was because they were upset that the toothbrush wouldn't fit in the toothbrush holder not because they couldn't figure out on their own that they could stick it in a glass. Whatever idiot wrote this response obviously didn't stop to think that IF someone had wanted to use a glass for their toothbrush they wouldn't have went to the trouble and expense of buying a toothbrush holder. As for it being more comfortable to hold, it isn't for me. I actually found it more bulky and difficult to hold. My solution ~ Toothbrush holders are move expensive then toothbrushes (not to mention buying a new toothbrush holder would mean buying a new shower curtain, soap dish, lotion dispenser, cup and garbage can) so the obvious solution is to toss the WORTHLESS ORAL-B toothbrush and buy a toothbrush that is both comfortable for me to hold and that will fit in my toothbrush holder. The Colgate Extra Clean fits the bill nicely, not only is it comfortable to use it easily fits in my toothbrush holder.

| Answer | |
| Oral B toothbrushes are designed using the latest in ergonomic handle design. To make the brush fit comfortably in your hand, we slightly increased the thickness of the brush handle. Rubber grip thumb stops on the front and back provide additional comfort, ease of use, a firmer grip, and control. Unfortunately, some of the older-style toothbrush holders are too small for these versions. A solution: place your toothbrush in a glass instead. |
