Toothpaste tube squeezer

thingiverse

User Group: Housewives aged 40-59 face significant challenges when squeezing toothpaste from tubes. They often conserve money by reusing leftover paste, but struggle to get it out due to inadequate pressure. This problem arises because they must fold the tube hard to apply sufficient force. Housewives need a user-friendly toothpaste tube squeezer that reduces required pressure for easy use. Changes or Improvements to Design: 1. An antibacterial coating will keep toothpaste clean in wet conditions, preventing water from entering the tube and promoting mold-free paste. 2. A three-part handle design will make it easier for users to insert their fingers between parts. 3. Multiple holes will allow users to check if toothpaste has become twisted inside the tube. 4. The tube's color is changed to white, representing cleanliness and making users feel more hygienic. Design Goal: My objective is to minimize leftover toothpaste waste by improving user experience with squeezing tubes. By reducing difficulty in using remaining paste, I aim to help housewives save money on frequent purchases. Currently, they must fold the tube hard and apply excessive pressure to extract the desired amount, often resulting in unnecessary waste due to frustration.
