- I actually think size matters more than shape for me. The chunkier the handle, the less my fingers cramp up.
- Tried a few with curves but they just felt awkward—like my grip was off or something.

“Straight handles seem to make my thumb ache, but the ones with a little curve are easier for me.”

- Funny how it’s so different for everyone... maybe it’s just about what your hand’s used to?
- Ended up wrapping a washcloth around a regular handle—ugly but works better than any fancy design I’ve tried.

Funny, I’m the total opposite. Curved ones always feel like they’re fighting my grip. I actually 3D printed a chunky sleeve for my brush—looks ridiculous, but hey, no more claw hand after brushing. Maybe toothbrushes just have it out for us...
