have you ever wonder why a lot of people squeeze their toothpaste in the middle and not bottom? then keep the faucet running while brushing their teeth? my hub, for instance would never learn to squeeze the tootpaste at the bottom. it would be way up or in the middle. sometimes forgot to cover it. i do squeeze at the bottom and never forget to cover the toothpaste, and use glass so the water will not wasted. What about you?

I usually squeeze the toothpaste from the middle,and I always have,but I always put the cap back on it and put it away,and I use a rinse cup so that way I dont waste any water.

Okay I am guilty as charged on the squeezing from the middle of the tube part. I have left the water running, but did learn not to as I found out it does waste a lot of water.... I found this out when I got old enough to not do it.

Well I've always squeezed from the middle, a friend tried to get me in the habit of doing it at the bottom, but I would catch myself still doing it at the bottom. I don't think he cared too much as we both started to buy different toothpastes ..

I'm not so sure, but I think I squeeze the toothpaste at the top part hehe. But when its almost out of content already, thats the time I start to squeeze at the bottom to the top. Well I dont forget to close it even if im in too much hurry but sometimes forget to brush my teeth, hahaha joke! ..and I don't use a glass, I also let the water flow, after all it wont take too long to finish brushing...that I do here but when I'm at home, I use glass to encourage my kids to use a glass also so as to conserve water.

I never leave the water running but why is it so bad to squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle? I just start squeezing on the bottom when it's running low and when it is empty I just cut it open.

it's not bad to squeeze in the middle though. it's just that...is it hard to get used to squeezing at the bottom? lol. that's always a mystery right?

Most of the time I squeeze by toothpaste from the bottom or near the bottom, but I'm guilty of the habit of leaving the water running while I brush... That's a habit I'm trying to break! What does irritate me though, is when my partner doesnt rinse the sink after spitting out toothpaste or shaving, and I come into the bathroom and find a mess in the sink. Eww!

I never really thought about it before but now that i am thinking about i must confess i squeeze from the middle. Why? I think because its always where i grab the toothpaste at without conscious thought, and i also leave the water running while i brush because its just easier to rinse the tooth brush that way.
