Well, every once in a while I gotta throw in a post about something completely off topic, and today that post is about my toothbrush. The toothbrush is something everybody uses everyday (at least you better you sick bastard) so why not address proper hygiene?
The Benefits of Using a Hard Toothbrush
The hard toothbrush gets the job done efficiently. I don't get how anyone could use soft bristles when they don't scrub as hard. The idea of brushing your teeth is to remove all the food and stuff that gets caught on them throughout the day, so why not remove it right? The hard brush scrubs harder and does more than the medium or soft brush. You don't need to be easy on your gums, you need to toughen them up and let them know who's boss.
Where to buy
I have found it increasingly harder to find a hard toothbrush these days. If you go to the store and check out the dental section you will find a pretty even split between soft and medium brushes, but you will have trouble finding a hard brush. I don't know why this is but I have my suspicions. Perhaps the large corporations that create the toothbrushes are looking to give us less efficient tools to keep us coming back and having to spend more money with them. I really can't think of why else there would be a drop-off in the number of hard brushes. Like even 5 years ago I could go around and spot countless numbers of hard brushes. These days the only one I can find is a hard brush made by Reach. It's a treasure hunt just to brush my teeth the right way.
Conclusion
So there you have it. I sport the hard brush as should you if you are all about maximum cleaning. Everything about the hard brush makes sense.

The downside to using a hard
The downside to using a hard toothbrush is that you may damage your gums eventually. Not everyone knows how to brush properly, especially along the gum lines. Softer bristles are my recommendation for these type of individuals.
Hard toothbrushes
A Hard brushe was the best thing for my teeth. Now my teeth are yellow. Yuk! Hard ones disappeared from the stores more than 5 years ago. I found a site once that said it was because people were bruising their gums with it. Okay, then, those folks should buy medium or soft -- a no-brainer. Why should we Americans who want hard brushes be deprived of that option? Is this a democracy or not?
But, really, I suspect the true reason manufacturers removed them from the market is to force us to buy sonic oral brushing contraptions. I have one -- not much used. I just like to pick up a regular toothbrush, any time of day, and clean my teeth to a nice plaque-free, rub-your-tongue-smoothnes white like they used to be. No plug-ins, no charge-up, no battery operations; just pure, clean brushing for the sake of it.

Agreed! I don't think its a conspiracy though, probably just the pussification of america and consumer demands for ultra soft snuggly toothbrushes.
