      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.

        A few years ago, the dentist said to buy this

        It works great, great price at Costco

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

            "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

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

                          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!

                            Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019474Y10/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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