Had a hilarious moment and discussion which made me wonder how others feel about it. My partner and I share a sonicare but have our own heads we swap out.

I come out of the shower as she finishes brushed teeth and I notice she’s using my head. I smirk and say that’s my toothbrush.

She does a double take and says “not only is it yours but I absentmindedly removed mine to put yours on it!”

We laughed and discussed how much we already share and it’s probably not a big deal.

Then I admitted “well I get up way before you most mornings and I’ve accidentally used yours a couple times. She feigned shock and I said “when I do, I quickly rinse it thoroughly with hot water and put it back.”

Lighthearted morning so far. Have you confessed to using a partner’s toothbrush? How did that go?

Once your tongue has been in somebody else's mouth I feel like sharing a toothbrush is not a huge deal

Difference is, we're not using our tongues to pry rotten food stuffs from each other's gums.

If we did we could save the money we spend on toothbrushes.

Kind of like monkeys picking things out of the fur of each other. Only facing one another.
