Saving Weight and Your Teeth
Since the size of toothbrushes vary, measure off about 3 1/2 " inches or the length of your middle finger from the top down.
Next take a multitool and snip off the handle of the toothbrush.
The multitool is not necessary, but I find that it makes a cleaner cut then just bending it.
