      I always had a discussion with my ex about the order. You and I apply toothpaste first, then water. She would apply water first, then the toothpaste, so it wouldnt rinse away. Glad to see more fellow toothpaste-firsters.

        You shouldn’t wet the brush at all, the toothpaste is supposed to mix with your spit. Water will make it have less fluoride.

            Yeah, I do the same thing. It doesn’t really make that much of a difference, but you definitely don’t need water until you want to rinse out your mouth.

              I thought that technically you werent supposed to rinse after brushing?

              I always say “fuck the man” and rinse after… but, I dont think you are supposed to.

            I don’t rinse out my mouth either, just spit out the foam. Rinsing just gets rid of the fluoride (and xylitol.)
