What do you wear under the toothbrush and toothpaste costumes?

It is best to wear plain, solid-colored clothing like a white or black long-sleeve t-shirt and matching leggings or jeans.

Can you sit down while wearing these costumes?

Yes, but because the foam tunics are stiff, you may need to pull them up slightly or sit on the edge of your seat to avoid creasing the foam.

How do you make a DIY toothpaste costume?

You can roll white poster board into a cylinder, paint a classic toothpaste logo on the front, and use a grey plastic bowl secured with an elastic band as the screw-on cap hat.

How to put it together

1
Put on your solid-colored base layers (white or black works best to keep the focus on the tunics).
2
Slip the toothpaste tunic over your head, aligning your arms through the side armholes.
3
Adjust the toothpaste cap headpiece so it sits comfortably on your head without blocking your vision.
4
Have your partner slip the toothbrush tunic over their head, ensuring the bristle section stands upright.
5
Adjust both tunics so they hang straight and allow for easy walking.

Makeup & hair

Keep hair simple or tied back so it fits easily under the tunic headpieces. No special makeup is required, but a bright, white-toothed smile is the perfect accessory.

Tips

Wear comfortable shoes, as you will likely be standing and walking around in bulky foam.
If the foam tunics are creased from shipping, hang them in a steamy bathroom for 20 minutes to smooth them out.
Keep your arms free by ensuring the armholes are wide enough; trim the foam slightly if needed.
