To the way all the toothbrushes in the house end up falling in the sink or on top of each other covered in half rinsed of toothpaste then you knock all the others in the sink when you grab yours.
Cup doesn't work as there electric.
Top of the sink only has a very small flat bit in the middle so there all jostling for the same space

I cant believe I'm asking this but I've been inside all week.

How do you store yours?

In the bathroom cabinet, loads of space in there.

Ahh but that means the resulting toothpaste/ water mix after rinsing off then covers the cabinet as well.

Small indoor plant pot (electric brushes). Dry them post rinse.

Put your one by the kitchen sink and leave the rest to faff about in the bathroom.

Can't say the usual cup solution is a major problem in our household. Just rinse off the brushes properly, I dry mine with a towel - at lest the handle, and pour out the gunky water that gathered at the bottom once a week or so. If you pull out a load of other toothbrushes when you pull yours out then get a bigger cup.

Get a bigger house. If the authorities find out your children don’t have their own en suite, each with capacious toothbrush storage,  they’ll get taken into care.

which, thinking about it solves the toothbrush problem anyway - how much do you like your kids?

So this is a problem you have with your cellmates?

Have you considered some sort of beaker?

For reasons of hygiene, you really shouldn't be keeping toothbrushes in the bathroom.

But if you must, I'd start with one of these...

Plenty of room on it to stockpile loo-rolls, should there be a hard brexit.

Then place a couple of these (correctly labelled), on top to store your toothbrushes and toothpaste.

And it might help to line the inside of the boxes with kitchen roll.
