Hi jane'
I like to change mine every three months too then with my old one I use it to clean around taps anything that needs something small to be cleaned and it is really good for that...then when I get another new one I throw the old one out that I had before and use the next for cleaning...LoLo

hi jane.
i am not sure when was the last time i changed my toothbrush
maybe it's about 3 or 4 months ago, but i am not sure. i just change when i feel it's time to change. and when i change, everyone in the family will have new toothbrush of their own.

i change my toothbrush when needed my friend. and sometimes i do change them every 3-4 months of usage. its just that i love a newer one ever now and then. and i have different toothbrush. one in the office, on the sink and in the comfort room. i just like to have it differently so that if i needed to be in a certain place, i would know i wont be having problems of not having brought one along.

hello janebeth good evening.. it depends too on how my tooth brush is holding up. if my brush first mistook it for a brush cleaning for the sink, then that's the time i would change my brush but most of the time it takes longer than 4 months or more. i don't know about six months but if the brush got hard then that's the time i would change a brush

We have electric toothbrushes now. Seems like the kids like them more and they use them more because they are just more fun. I do keep my old toothbrushes from years past though. I use them for cleaning, like the corners around my faucet on my sinks and it's excellent for cleaning jewlery.

Hi janebeth, Yes i change it every 3 months. I would wash my old brush nicely and use it for other cleaning purposes. I use it to paint sometimes as well. Its really nice brush serves multiple purposes.
