First World Problem But ……

Who on earth made the stupid decision to put silly little pictures on the Oral B replacement toothbrush heads rather than the coloured rings so you can tell which toothbrush head is yours. I have a teeny tiny smiley face on mine and DH has a teeny tiny strawberry! 🙄 Neither of us can see these stupid teeny tiny symbols without putting our glasses on. Problem is the shower room is usually still steamy when we brush our teeth so our glasses steam up so we still can’t see. Twice now I’ve ended up using DH’s toothbrush head - eeeew. It’s actually sending me insane!

Why, just why?

Sorry OP, I found your title hiccup so amusing 😂

I was mortified! Typical me though 😂

I love it when people are confidently and smugly completely wrong like this, it's so fun. Making yourself look very silly in your attempt to call OP stupid.

I had to paint mine with gel polish to be able to tell them apart squinting in a steamy bathroom OP, you're not alone 🤓

I was going to respond to that poster but you said it so beautifully 😊

Actually that’s a good idea about the gel polish and someone else mentioned a sharpie pen. I’ve been so busy getting irate about it that I couldn’t see the simple solutions in front of me.

I bought a bunch of generic ones from amazon, they still have the coloured rings on them.

Oooh I will have a look, thank you.

You can also get black Oral B heads if yourwant a very quick way to tell the difference. DD and I share an electric handle and have separate heads.

We have been ranting about this very issue this week - four of us all had different colour rings, now we've had to varnish all the stupid pictures, but I only had various shades of pink and red so need to invest in new neon shades. Or get the Amazon ones. Ffs.

@tpmumtobe You have to suffer four of them!! I would be rocking in a corner!

I’m so relieved I’m not the only one who is finding this so bloody annoying

Put the ring on one brush head and leave the other without a ring
