You’re supposed to use a toothbrush for no longer than 3 months. So either you use them to long, or you go to the dentist a lot more often than I do.
Comment on Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice?

I can’t remember the last time I’ve bought a toothbrush. Every time I go to the dentist for a cleaning I’m given a toothbrush for free. I’ve since switched to electric, but still have a whole bunch of toothbrushes from dentists past. I’m slowly going through them using them when I travel.

He’s switched to electric so doesn’t use the manuals often.

Electric are worse. You should still replace the heads regularly, but now you’re dependent on the specific company continuing to support your toothbrush

The Oral B knockoffs can be had for about $1 each or less. They have models that use the same heads for almost 20 years.

This - get the no-brand replacement heads. No way would I spend the prices Oral-B are asking.
Sometimes the big brands can end up as better device purchases, since despite being more expensive upfront, there are plenty of cheap third-party consumables available.
