Do you follow directions and squeeze the tube from the bottom up?

Question

It's the best way to get every last drop out you know!

Answer 1

I have had a vice installed in my bathroom; that way you can squeeze the tube any damn way you like, safe in the knowledge that the last bit is never going to be a problem. It also doubles as a rapid cure for constipation!

Answer 2

My hands aren't strong enough to do that. I squeeze from the middle till it's easier, then I roll up from the bottom.

Stores used to sell some kind of key that was used in rolling up toothpaste tubes. Very similar to the keys used in opening a can of ham, spam and treat. And even those didn't always work right.

Answer 3

I use the Mentadent, which stands on its own! No squeezing. When you want to get the last little drop out though, you gotta go through a complicated process of taking the caps off the bottom and sticking your toothbrust down there...PIA.

Answer 4

Only when I need the use the last little bit in the tube!

Answer 5

Yep. We even have a thing we put on the tube that rolls it up as it's used. Never a fraction of an ounce is wasted. Yeah, we're cheap tightwads... so? :)

Answer 6

I start in the middle, then when it runs out take it from the bottom.

Answer 7

No I don't. because when you start to roll up the end, the whole tube tips over when you try to set it on end.. I hate that!

Answer 8

Nope. I generally forget to do that with a fresh tube.

Answer 9

I TRY TO BUT EVERYONE ELSE JUST SQUEEZES THE TUBE SO I GIVE UP

Answer 10

I use those thingys that go on the bottom and slide up as you go, thus enabling you to use every last glob.
