I like my toothbrushes to have hard bristles.
These Asian toothbrushes that only come in soft are useless for me. I get through a toothbrush every two weeks with them.
Anybody found any decent firm/hard toothbrushes. |

Actually firm toothbrushes have the problem of erroding enamel.
I'd stick with the soft toothbrushes, I hate them too, but I have this disgusting white spots on my teeth because of brushing too hard.
BTW. I like them soft. And I'm not talkign toothbrushes |

Ones here are too soft.
A medium firm one would do the trick.
Any idea of what the color coding is for brushes here. |

I am underwhelmed...
But, a long, hard, throbbing toothbrush is what everyone wants, once in a while. |

It's been proven that women like big, electronic, throbbing toothbrushes more than men.
I like soft, wet toothbrushes myself. Nothing too big though, it needs to have friction against my teeth. |

I buy 6 mo supply for 2 from Thailand. Oral B Better from Thai quality then from here. Firmer and sweeter to grip, IMHO. |

^ You are very familiar, Jeff's Cigarettes. I can't quite put my finger on it.
Lots of IMHO. Mentions of Thailand, Zalman products and offers in Buy and Sell......just can't quite put my finger on it.
Any ideas if the foreign markets stock firmer toothbrushes? |

I think Korean toothbrushes are too tough. I have imported my toothbrushes or bought them on the black market in Namdaemoon.
Black market toothbrushes...never thought I'd write about that.
Soft toothbrushes are better for your gums. |

Is there any way to make the one i already have firmer, and stay firm for longer? I really don't want to go through the ordeal of getting a replacement |
