What are you guys talking about? :confused:
For rinsing your mouth out afterwards? I use mouthwash.

You must have a much larger bathroom sink than I do. Or a much smaller head.

No cup, just stick out my tough for the water to hit after I use Listerine.

Speaking of that, do you guys clean your toothbrush after brushing by placing it under the faucet and covering the faucet outlet about 90% with your finger in order to increase the pressure and speed of the water coming out, resulting in a cleaner tootbrush? I do that, but I know people who just place the brush under the running water for a few seconds, but I've noticed that that doesn't really clean your toothbrush completely.

I really don't rinse my mouth out after brushing. I just spit a couple of times and run along.

No, but I do flick the bristles with my thumb to get all the suds off.

I cringe every time I see this, same with mouthwash. I can't stand the lingering taste and have to rinse it out or I would go nuts.

I do. I don't need to and used the whole cup with hands thing, but now i just use a cup and stick my toothbrush in the cup when i'm done to have it rest somewhere. When I am traveling, I just use my hands.

It's pretty convenient to have a cup with water ready to go when I am done rinsing. *shrugs*.
