IKEA sells toilet brushes with 2 brushes. My brain kept tripping like this is AI even while I held this product in my hand.

Obviously once you take it home you’re supposed to screw off one of these heads and store it somewhere. After a few months/years when the brush head is dirty enough, you go find the clean head and shove it up your ass.
- No, you rotate it so it drips on your hand. Obviously.
  
  It won't drip on your hand if you rotate it fast enough. Go Darth Maul on that toilet.
- My friend wants to know if they have to wait to shove the clean one up their ass or if it's something they can do right away.
  
  If you ask me I would wait but really it’s up to your friend
  
  No they have to wait it's a space law
- ok uhm... What do I do after shoving it up my ass? asking for a friend...

One is a replacement head. It's literally right there on the label.
- Not now, not ever.
  
  I thought step 1 was to be attractive…
- i can't read swedish heiroglyphics
- Looks like the threads would be super comfortable to use as a handle as well

Looks like the second one is loosely attached, and meant to be stored away as a replacement

- It’d be nice if there were a lever to help remove the brush. I’d rather not physically manipulate the used brush with my hand.
  
  Easy, just use your mouth.
  
  Cleaning or even latex gloves exist for a reason, haha
  
  Paper towel will also help. You’re gunna be ok.
  
  Don't you clean your toilet brush after you use it?
  
  I don't think I have ever seen a toilet brush with a lever to eject the brush. I also don't think it solves much. You'd have to wash your hands anyway.
  
  That's why the gods gave us chewing gum

Darth Maul's toilet brush of choice
- Sith passing a monolith?
  
  Sith cleaning pith?
- beat me to it.

The whole thing isn't actually a toilet brush, while you could use it by itself it's intended to be a replacement set for an existing ikea toilet brush, it's two heads and a shaft and you're supposed to unscrew one of the heads and screw your old handle onto the top of it.
They just screw both heads on to keep it all together
- ...that single picture explains so much which i previously couldn't parse about this product...
- Two heads and a shaft. Just the way I like it.
- A single brush is like 2€ at IKEA, I'm not touching that to save buying a 2€ item

It's so you can share the bristly feeling with your partner
- ASS TO ASS
  
  My first thought

Now you can brush your toilet and your teeth at the same time with one convenient device!
- Do yourself a favor and mark which side is which
  
  Why, it's all the same tube.
- Sigh, when are they going to release a 3 sided toilet brush so I can brush my hair teeth and toilet at the same time?
  
  You have hair teeth?

Simple ... one side is for cleaning the toilet ... the other side is for doing the dishes
Just don't mix up the ends .... that would be disgusting
- I have a brush for cleaning bottles. Works great. Just kinda resembles a toilet brush. Different shape but they could have used a different color.

Ass to ass?
- 2 girls one brush?
- Oh, a fellow Requiem for a Dream connoisseur!
- Only for the crack addicts.
  
  This made me chuckle.
  
  The first rule of being a crack addict is to keep you and your partner's cracks sparkling clean.

Do you even poop-lift, bro?
- I slice it, with my poop knife
  
  Ah yes, the PÖÖP knife was for sale next to it.

I just want to know if it's dishwasher safe.
- You just rinse it in your contact lens holders
  
  would an open air anus be large enough? I mean, after the stretching of course.

What kind of forbidden stain removal jutsu ass contraption is that

Ferengi Q-Tip
- This would be a good prop for an elaborate con costume.

You mean you guys don’t wanna turn the brush over and have shitty water drip on your hand?
- It's good because this way my SO and I can each have our own brush, like how you don't share our toothbrush.

Does it even have Bluetooth?
- It has a whole app!
  
  Embossed lettering....it even has a watermark.

Finally, I can clean the loo and brush my teeth at the same time. So efficient!

No way. I want to grip that thing by the end of a nice long handle so I'm holding it nowhere the business end. I don't want two business ends so the one I used last time is hovering above my hand, possibly still waiting to shake droplets of nope on me.

Cursed

Cleans your butt and the toilet at the same time. I’m not seeing the problem here

Cursed

How can this be so difficult to understand is beyond me, and I am from LATAM
I mean it's not a plumbus. This thing even has instructions

Please tell me you have not been cleaning the toilet with my Q-tip
- I know people in Scandinavia are huge, but really?

These produce excruciating pain, I prefer toilet paper :')

some of you are so fucking stupid it hurts.
- Some of us have different ideas, cultures, and personal experiences that can give us the wrong impression when we see something we're not familiar with. Sorry to hear "stupid" is the only way you think about it.
  
  He has the best words
  
  I'm sorry but there's a picture right on the tag that you can clearly see IN THE OP
  I've never seen them sold this way, either, but I immediately saw the tag and realized what was up
- You're that sad solitary guy from the meme telling others not to have fun.
  
  If being confused by toilet brushes that are sold all over the world is fun then you might legit be stupid. Rip.

So you take the top one off and use the bottom one like a normal toilet brush, then when the bottom one is warn out you put the top one on the bottom to replace the old warn out one.
So kinda like 2 for 1 I’m guessing

Counting the number of fingers on the hand...
- I counted them. 5. I'm not AI. This is not a simulation!
  
  ...that's what the matrix wants you to think...

So a regular one with a spare brush. Cool.

Cleaning my toilet like I'm Darth Maul with the heccking epic star warts song in the background!

Yo dawg I heard you like pooping so we put another brush on there so you can brush while you brush.

Silicone toilet brush. Major upgrade over whatever this abomination is (not talking about the replacement head, I get that). Get the triangular one with the short nubs.
- I hate silicone toilet brushes
  
  Because they only have one side?

One side is the prescrub to remove the heavy stuff and then the other gives a fine polish?

Good thing they're removable sheesh
