We always cut off the top of the tube at home simply to reduce waste. You can plug the body back on for the next time. I feel like these things are designed to waste 5% of the paste so we have to buy more frequently.
What do you mean? Are you reconnecting two halves of a cut tube of toothpaste somehow?
It's like some sort of grotesque toothpaste centipede thing I think.
Squeeze one side so it fits into the other :)
You can roll the bottom with a hairpin to get more out of it so none of it sneaks between the sides and then, make sure to plunge the body into the cap to get that last 5% out. Less mess too.
