There’s like an urge in my body to squeeze it from the bottom that feels efficient and tidy and it messes my mind up when I use a toothpaste that somebody has squeezed right in the middle. I wanna know people’s stance on this, so what kinda squeezer are you?
I squeeze from the top or middle because that’s where I grab it from but I have a plastic toothpaste roller that flattens and pushes it up from the bottom that I adjust as I go. It’s truly the best of all worlds
Everyone does it different in my house so once a week I redistribute the paste in the tube so it’s all at the top. It’s very satisfying to do and I feel like I have all the power when it’s all said and done.
my ex-partner and I used to have his-and-hers toothpaste.
🤣
I always squeeze from the bottom. Drives me crazy when I see my 7yo squeeze from the top.
This is the only way
I firmly place it betwixt my ass cheeks and let the glutes do their work.
I also take my toothpaste from betwixt this person’s ass cheeks.
I’m a random squeezer up until near the end, then I roll up from the bottom.
There’s something so satisfying about when it seems empty and you push your fiber up and force more out.
Squeeze from the bottom and I also store it cap-side down in between uses so all of the paste is by the opening.
Squeeze from the bottom. It comes out faster too.
I squeeze from the middle and make a big mess around the cap
Is “Making my dentist rich” considered a valid answer?
middle, i’m sorry. way too lazy to do it the right way

From the middle. But, I occasionally pull the bottom along the corner of the sink counter, squeezing it back up, and then roll the bottom so it stays “like full.”
What? pre coffee… I can’t be bothered to care.
Same. When the tube is full I’m lazy, but as it gets more empty I’ll squeeze it against the corner of a cabinet like a crinkly dollar bill you need to get into a vending machine. I am always determined to get the very last bit out of the tube, and typically get close to a week’s worth of paste after my wife has already opened a new tube.
People who squeeze from the middle are certified psychopaths.
From the bottom is the way to go. I compulsively “fix” tubes that I see are improperly squeezed.
Does it even matter any more? Tooth paste tubes used to be made of metal so if you squeezed from the bottom they would hold their shape and you could roll them up as you used them.
Now they’re all made of plastic and as soon as you put them down they expand to their original shape and the tooth paste flows back into the empty areas. The world is just going to absolute shite! :)
Like 95% of the reason that I buy the brand I do is because it still comes in the old foil tubes that I can push out from the bottom and roll up. It’s probably confirmation bias but I feel like I waste less toothpaste that way.
The other 5% is because my dentist told me to use that specific brand.
