I bought a pink electric toothbrush
Because it was 2 bucks cheaper than the black electric toothbrush.

I have a pink vape because its easier to spot in low light conditions.
... and possibly also because its funnier to have a pink vape to refer to as a 'nicotine nipple'.
Inverse pink tax, huh? Nice.
I see it a lot when I'm looking at second-hand phones on eBay.
"Girly" colours like rose gold and sage green are always going for less than plain black.
I like girly colours, so that's great for me :)
Second hand tech is probably an anomaly though, because I imagine it's mostly guys who are buying used electronics and this skews the demand.
Lol I went with sage on my newest phone because it was cheaper. I love that the insecurities of others gives me a discount.
Sage is a cool color. But lighter colors like pink just aren't my taste.
Cars too. Bright pink cars are usually quite cheap.
Obviously, that is a choice. LOL.
Although, I am a 6ft6/2m tall bodybuilder and look like a Russian gangster. There is a part of me that wants to buy a tiny candy pink Japanese kei car. Just because it'd be continually funny seeing people react to me get out of it, them wanting to laugh, but not daring to because I look like I could kick the shit out of them. (I wouldn't. I'm a softie.)
I have something similar, same brand, different product. Toothpaste can get into every nook and cranny of those. Wash it well, before it dries and solidifies into a mess.
I noticed that too. Already doing that, but thanks for pointing that out!
Wonder why they put those holes in the replaceable head...
To allow to flush out toothpaste with water.
I have the same one! Same colour. I bought it because it was slightly cheaper but also I tend to buy the most colourful version of anything because it helps me spot it and actually use it (ADHD, so if I don't see the thing at some point during the day, it ceases to exist)
I have that one! Though, if you read my username, I think you'll understand why lol
jeese
I'm 42. Why does this picture look older than me?
Uhm, "@Lost_My_Mind"...?
Probably thanks to my kitchen counter. I has a little bit of an oldschool vibe to it.
Because of the flash.
Flash use was a lot more prevalent in the compact camera age.
Fishing for compliments, Mr. Young looking guy, eh?
They used to make appliances from the same pinkish kind of plastic back then. Or sometimes it was white initially but had been turning yellowish-pinkinsh with time. Both things existed in parallel.
I've been trying to add more color in my life and not just automatically buy the black things.
I bought some blue-green golf balls, partly because they were $10 off. But I'm wondering, if I lose them faster than the white ones, did I really save any money?
I never really thought much about color for most of my life, then I had a kid. For as long as they've been able to kind of hold a conversation their default question to get to know someone has been "what's your favorite color?"
My answer was generally blue because I'm male and that's a pretty generic answer for men, but once they got me thinking on the subject, I realized that all of my favorite things were green. My favorite shirt (to the extent that it's now basically disintegrated), my favorite watchband, hell, even my favorite underwear.
So now my favorite color is green and, since the kid knows that, I have a lot more green stuff. It's very sweet that when they go shopping with their mom they see something green and automatically say "we should get that for Dad!"
I have the same model, lasts longer than most because its truly sealed, even the charging is magnetic rather than gold contacts.
But don't leave it on the base 24/7, this helps the battery.
Thanks for tip :) I've had the same model before, but it didn't last long because.. well, i lost it. Was pretty satisfied with it tho.
Also don't drop it from mouth level onto a hard bathroom floor. That gets you a nonfunctional $100 toothbrush.
Totally undull, totally nsfw tangent
Back in the day, electric toothbrushes were popular among the local lesbian population.
Apparently, when modified, one could fit them into a strap rig and use them between other lips. I had one used to jokingly threaten me once. It was... intimidating
Cool. I am pleasantly surprised, having been buying men's products for over a decade, because https://money.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/taxes/articles/the-pink-tax-costs-women-thousands-of-dollars-over-their-lifetimes
Ribbed for her pleasure.

Why did you write this comment? 🤔
It's gonna turn your mouth gay.
Maybe it'll only turn it bi if you don't go for the back of the tongue every time.
Shrugs Meh, there's worse fates, and hey, that's two extra bucks in your pocket.
Oh no, your teeth will never get clean. Pink products only work on girls. /s
Good for you on saving money.
Yup, op is gonna get cooties now. Rip.
I have this model of toothbrush and it is by far the worst toothbrush I have ever used, electric or not, in all of my life, hands down.
I hope you brush your teeth in the shower because the toothpaste is not going to stay in your mouth.
Just keep your mouth closed?
The bottom looks too much like a vibrator... Hm....
