How much foam do you end up with? I usually don't rinse out the toothpaste after, but I don't end up with a foaming mouth after. I use about a pea size amount (as recommended on the packaging) and it's not super sudsy when I'm finished. Wipe my face and done.

Not too much but it just feels disgusting to me to keep all of the food bits still suspended in the foam in my mouth.

I'm confused - what food bits? Do you have detectable food bits left over after brushing or is it an impression that there must be food still left over?

At least for me, I rinse out my mouth before I brush, so I don't expect to have detectable gunk left over. I also use a tongue scraper after, so I'm usually feeling pretty clean when I'm done.

Well both, stuff between the teeth that the brush doesn't get (I guess that's why you'd floss after brushing, but also with foam in your mouth?), and also just food microparticles that would go away when rinsing after brushing generally.

I floss first, rinse, then brush. No more food bits left after I spit out the extra foam.
