    A few years ago, the dentist said to buy this

    It works great, great price at Costco

        I've been using an electric for years (Sonicare). Felt super strong and borderline hurt the first time I used it. Fast-forward to now - using a regular toothbrush (sometimes when i've forgotten my electric ahead of a trip), feels like a toy.

              I've been told that one should (ahem) eschew firm toothbrushes and just go with regular to avoid enamel damage.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  That is what I have hear to. Actually, my dentist always gives me soft toothbrushes.

                            Yeah, it's hard to avoid the connection between soft toothbrushes and increased incidence of dental clinic visits, amirite?

                              Is anyone frustrated at being unable to find a firm toothbrush anywhere for years?

                              I did! It arrived today via the magic UPS carpet. I used it, and it is aaaabfab!

                              Thanks, Catseye. As far as manual toothbrushes go, I also find it virtually impossible to buy β€œfirm” toothbrush in retail stores, and have settled for β€œmedium” many times. Thanks for the Amazon link.
