My brother has texture issues with toothbrushes and so we got him this to try out, this actually worked out really well. You can taste the toothpaste that is on the material, which is almost like a felt-y paper towel (so some sort of textured but thick paper towel). I tried a few and even though my brother and I have vastly different hand sizes, and it fit both of us just fine. You can also use these if you like to travel or put a few in a bag or car for the 'just in case' moments.
