Just realizing as i sit here avoiding brushing my teeth yet again... I really don't like how it feels.

Also i don't get a good feeling about how clean the toothbrush bristles are.

I want to do it anyway for the health benefits.

Any tips?

For now I'm gonna just brush with wayer because that is less awful.

Finding a toothpaste can be a process. I like Sensodyne, not because I have particularly sensitive teeth but because it just feels the nicest to use.

Dip your toothbrush head in hydrogen peroxide every so often.. whatever you feel like manages the cleanliness. There is some stuff that does build up on there and this easily deals with it.
