so we use these little packs of disposable travel toothbrushes that we can keep next to our bed and don't have to rinse after using them or anything because between executive dysfunction, sensory issues, and fatigue, this is basically the only way we can keep up with brushing our teeth regularly.

anyway, I realised we'd almost ran out and went to buy more and they suddenly aren't available anywhere. we'd get a pack of 24 for relatively cheap and now all I can seem to find are packs of 1 or 2 "travel toothbrushes" that are basically just normal toothbrushes for the same price as a pack of the ones we normally get. the brand that made them has nothing about them on its website besides a pack of 2 toothbrushes listed under the same name that aren't the same product.

so anyway now I need to figure out an alternative for the sake of actually being able to manage our dental hygiene because the one thing that was letting us do that somewhat adequately isn't available anymore

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #vent post #we've found a couple of places selling them but they're places that don't ship to the UK #and it would be way too expensive to use a proxy service for them #also we do have a normal toothbrush but we pretty much never use it because having to get up and stand at the sink is hell #and sometimes isn't an option at all certain symptoms flare up too badly #and that whole ''keep a cup of water next to your bed to rinse it in'' thing doesn't work well with our contamination OCD #also on a related note I'm trying to buy energy drinks (the things we're reliant on for managing our ADHD at this point)#and the delivery options are like... we can get them on the 11th-13th for £4.99 or on the 8th for £22.99 which feels ridiculous #but we only have 8 left so I guess I'm going with the cheaper option and I'm just gonna have to not have caffiene for maybe a few days #and hope we don't completely lose track of everything given how bad our ADHD has been even with caffeine lately #the bad ADHD is the reason I didn't get round to ordering more of them earlier in the first place. ugh #I hate trying to work around so many different medical issues that all make it so fucking hard to do basic shit
