    Why do they make toothbrushes so flipping hard to open? Just spent 10 minutes trying to open my new brush! Grrr and the sharp plastic nearly cut my finger.

    Why are you dismantling your toothbrush? You're using it wrong. It goes in your mouth!

    Easy to open if you happen to have a scissors.

    Why are you opening a TOOTHBRUSH?

    And here was me wondering why my farts were so minty smelling!

    Did you buy a cheap brush? Normally you just bend the brush back to break the perforations (?) of the cardboard on the backing.

    Ahhhh right, I use Oral B ones, but I thought they were generaly all the same, plastic on front, cardboard on back


    *it's 2am and I'm talking toothbrushes, I think this should go in the 'you know it's time to go home' thread*

    I thought 'medium' just referrs to the brush head size, such as medium, large etc.. not how hard or soft the bristles are. :confused:

    Somebody has got sensitive teeth ;)

    I usually buy the multi pack toothbrushes and they are quite easy to open but I do sympathise with the OP where goods are wrapped in hard plastic and yet they are impossible to open. Had that scenario with a shaver recently, the scissors couldn't cut it so a knife did the job!
