I actually do this. I typically don’t bring it up as a third option when this discussion happens because I’d rather not be seen as a maniac around here. But it works great.
I put the toothpaste onto the tip of my tongue, get the brush wet, then as I put the brush in my mouth I also mush the toothpaste into the brush with my tongue.
Hygiene seems like the obvious concern. But funny enough, in our household we each have our own tubes of toothpaste and the end of mine looks perfectly clean while my wife’s and son’s are gross crusty messes. I can apply the toothpaste super cleanly. And any concerns about bumping my lip or tongue and contaminating the end of the tube seem to also exist but in a much worse way for toothbrushes and whatever may be floating around in the air in a bathroom. I’ll leave it at that, lol.
Too complex. I just squirt the toothpaste into my mouth.
(not really)
