I do too, but I still wet it (after applying toothpaste).

I've always been of the wet, afix paste, wet again persuasion; however, recently I was put on prescription paste which means no water. Just afix paste, brush, spit and go. No rinsing. Blech!

I miss you Tom's of Maine!

I just brushed my teeth. I don't move my head while I brush...
:)

I wet my brush first to rinse off any bugs that may have climbed on board while I wasn't looking (I hate when that happends! ;) ) then apply paste and brush. Yes, the sonic care gets too messy with more water.

Have you ever noticed that most people in movies or TV don't use paste at all? They just get whitening treatments or vaneers all the time!

As someone who has helped to recede her gumline, Skeletor style, because of hard brushing, I say the wetter the better.

Of course, that said, I apply paste then water. And I often water in between brushing to ensure optimal lubrication. And for those who think that sounds dirty, hat's off.

I'm actually trying to picture someone moving their head around the toothbrush. And now I have the giggles.

And you'd be surprised how well it works on the public. Most don't do it, but some do with shampoo. One of the biggest marketing successes was Alka Seltzer getting people to use two tabs instead of one (many companies do this, they were one of the pioneers). While not everyone uses two - enough do to have brought back Alka Seltzer from indigestion-aid extinction.

Just remember girls, if you brush your teeth topless you will be attacked by your man the whole time.

That reminds me of the great Sarah Silverman line "If you take a shower with your boyfriend, I guarantee by the time you step out of that shower, your breasts will be sparkling clean."

The toothbrush is going in my mouth, innit? Right, so I rinse the brush before applying paste and putting it in my mouth.
