Mine is clayton\_e because it comes from my last name being “Smalley”. Sometimes I’ll write my username as “CLAYTON\_e”. It’s a pretty good pun, my grandfather thought it up back in the 50’s. ---

Mine is white with purple rubber. It is great because I don’t know how I ever made it without the no-slip grip. I’m sure most of you remember the olden days when we would have to lock our toothbrushes in a set of [vice grips](http://www.insidespaces.com/dictionary/Tool_Pages/vice-grips.shtml) just so we could brush our teeth. Kids these days have it so _easy_. ---

I’m using a green one right now. My last one was orange. At the dentist yesterday, I got a purple one. So much for the red/blue theory… ---

I used to have a purple one, but when I replaced it, all that there was at the store were red ones (in the brand I use, at least). So mine is red, but not by preference. ---

My toothbrush is blue, but I have something very important to share. Whenever you flush a toilet, it gets toilet spray all over everything within a six foot radius. So if you keep your toothbrush within six feet of your toilet, you’re brushing your teeth with used toilet water. Thought that would be good to know with all you toothbrush oriented people around. ---

Like most of my colorful belongings, my toothbrush is blue. My last one was white with blue grips. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tooth-brush-poll/77773.md?page=2)
