Sharing a toothbrush

[leebee]

Ick, uck, gross. I can barely stand my own fuzzy teeth in the morning. The thought of using someone else's fuzzy tooth cleaner is beyond gross. HOWEVER... I clicked other because I have, on a couple of occasions, had a senior moment and grabbed the wrong tooth brush! I knew it the second I started brushing, because his brush is worn down differently from mine. Spit, gag, spit, rinse-rinse-rinse!!!

 

[*tinker*bell*]

no way EVER would I use his toothbrush we both have VERY different toothbrushes so to even confuse them would be pretty hard to do. We do share a tube of toothpaste though don't see any harm in that.

 

[carra]

Oh no!

 

[cluvsdisney]

So question for everyone who would never share a tooth brush... Do you share a tube of toothpaste or do you each have your own?

We use different toothpaste it only because we like different types.


I may have accidentally used DHs toothbrush (and vice versa) when we swap out for new ones and I forget which color is mine. I wouldn't use his on purpose but Im not grossed out by it since I run hot water over my brush before I use it.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Absolutely, positively not!

 

[aprilgail2]

Tooth brushes are just one of those things where everyone should have their own

Imwouldnuse my finger before using someone else's toothbrush

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO!!

I finger brush before I put ANYONE'S used toothbrush in my mouth. Gooooood lord hell no

I had a boyfriend that stayed over and forgot his and he used mine- it went right in the trash and I bought a new one- that is just SO nasty!!!!

Have not read any of the responses yet but I am so happy about the poll results and have to show my DH. He will often use my toothbrush and I get SO MAD. He will grab it "in the dark" or will use my if he throws his away or hasn't unpacked it from a trip or something. He thinks it's no big deal since we are married and doesn't get why I get so annoyed. It is just GROSS!

That would be a big fat NO!! God knows where his toothbrush has been and I don't want my DNA on it

 

[HM]

I'm not sure that I've ever shared with my spouse, but I have shared with my children when they've forgotten theirs when we travel and we can't buy a new one until the next day.

You live with Dexter?

 

[MichelleVW]

I will use his toothbrush in a minute before I use his towel....now that is gross!

 

[ols386]

Nope, wouldn't use dh's toothbrush.

 

[aprilgail2]

I will use his toothbrush in a minute before I use his towel....now that is gross!

Yea that is another thing that does not get shared! A nice fresh clean towel for everyone!

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

That would be a big fat huge NO. There are other things I'll "share" with DH in the name of love but plaque and food particles not included. Having said that, I did recently accidentally use his toothbrush when I was very sleepy, and I guess EXTREMELY sleepy, because it didn't send me into a fit of retching when I realized what I had done. And I never told him.

One time when we were very newly wed, without even realizing it, I used his toothbrush to clean the sofa spot cleaner off. I guess I thought "Huh, an extra toothbrush"...forgot all about whatsisname! LOL I didn't put that one back tho and only realized it after he couldn't find it.

Won't share towels or washcloths either, since I wouldn't even use my own washcloth twice.

 

[MrsDuck]

We'll share if someone forgot their toothbrush on a trip.

 

[lucas]

Gross! No! Never, ever! Yuck!

In college I had an apartment with friends, moving out at the end of the year 2 room mates discovered they had been using the same toothbrush, both thought it was theirs! They were grossed out, but laugh at it now.

 

[LJSquishy]

Love that episode!

We have never shared but in an emergency where we needed to we wouldn't hesitate. I do think it's super gross, though. LOL

 

[disneyfreakk]

Absolutely we share, DW doesn't like my electric toothbrush though. The I see it we have things in each others mouths that are more unsanitary than toothbrushes.

HAHAHA!!! That is my logic as well.
