the major design flaw of toothbrushes is that its easy to forget which brush yours is, and while it's probably ok to use the toothbrush of someone in your household once in a while, it's still kinda gross. The colors are all too similar, the handles are all the same, and color alone is not a good discriminator because you're often brushing your teeth before your brain is fully online. I think the weight and shape /balance of each brush in a pack should be unique. Proprioception is highly discriminatory, fast and difficult to ignore. Adding bumps and other tactile markers might also help. Surely they know this. Why on earth are these designed to be spit swapping sticks.
