Toothpaste organizer

I use a simple rubber band around the rolled up bottom of my toothpaste tube to keep it organized and taking up less space

Evolution: I started out using a clothes pin, then tape on the folded up toothpaste tube, but a rubber band is easier. Commercial solutions are available, but they cost, are heavier/bigger, less sustainable and it takes time to get them. 




Obviously the rubber band does not squeeze the tooth paste to the top of the tube, this is easiest done by pressing and dragging the tube over any firm edge, so that the tooth paste ends at the top. 

Cost: Cheap (1 rubber band). 
Time: Fast (less than 1 minute). 
Difficulty: Easy. 
Weight & size: Very light/small (1 rubber band). 
Sustainable: Rubber band will last long. 
Best: My favorite simple solution to the issue.

I will love to hear your comment and suggestion for how this could be done even better.
