Would you Do It?
This might sound funny coming from a woman who has been married for nearly 10 years, has delivered one of her husbands offspring and is currently pregnant with the second. BUT…
This morning I stumbled into the bathroom and noticed my toothbrush was missing. I asked little H ‘where is mommy’s toothbrush?’ She shook her head and put up her hands to indicate she had no idea. I spun around and went back into the kitchen only to see it perched on the spot where we pile up recyclables next to our garbage can.
So I grab my phone and text the hubby. ‘What happened to my toothbrush?’
The response came back in seconds….’I was tired and used it by accident OOOPS.‘
Well, that was it. I had no toothbrush with which to brush my pearly off-whites. It was as good as dead to me.
Would you have had the same reaction? Or would you have just grabbed it, rinsed it off and proceeded to brush? I admit I stood there wondering about this and wondering if my reaction was normal for someone in a loving and happy relationship. I mean, I’m pregnant with his child for pete’s sake…it doesn’t get more intimate than that – does it? Well, maybe if we’d shared a toothbrush. *Ew*

Ick NO WAY!!! Grosses me out just thinking of it. LOL.
NO WAY! I have an issue with toothbrushes. Lauren used mine once and I threw it out. I’m ok with sharing SOME things, but not tooth brushes. ick
Absolutel-ick-y NOT! Eeeewww… I’m with you! LOL
I can barely stand to use my own toothbrush more than once. I have to think about something else so I’m not concentrating on all the stale saliva and bacteria on it. Eeewwwww!
Oh I know! Bacteria I can almost get over because I’m sure we all have the same germs anyway…but it’s thinking about the actual substances that are on it. Plaque, spit, bits of food. GROSS.
I usually have several new toothbrushes in a drawer in case company comes so it isn’t an issue but I have been know to throw a toothbrush in boiling water after someone has used it when there was no other option.
See. Maybe girl scouts failed me. I was so not prepared for this! Good for you for having a backup plan!
I’d not share my toothbrush with him, but he wouldn’t think twice about using mine… so it may be a moot point! LOL We may have already shared toothbrushes.
Oh man, that would make me lose my mind if he hadn’t told me and I found out days later. I’m glad he made sure I’d notice there was something not quite right about my brush
I voted no, but then I remembered I have a UV toothbrush cleaner, so I guess if it was sanitized I night if hubby would actually change his brush head once in a while.
The human mouth is suppose to be really gross, mom’s even get scolded for blowing on their kids food because of minute saliva particles. However that never stops us from kissing our spouses or our children…specially when it involves a booboo on said child. So when it comes to toothbrush sharing, though I do prefer my own, I don’t quiver to borrow hubbies should one of us have forgotten theirs if we go on a trip or if I realize he grabbed the wrong shade of blue that morning.
I’d be really grossed out but I would probably use it. It is pretty much the same thing as eating off the same fork or drinking from the same cup.
But no way would I make that a habit! And I would definitely have to buy another toothbrush immediately
I can’t agree with this Annie. I don’t think it’s even close to the same thing! LOL!
I won’t use someone else’s fork, spoon or glass either. Because, I agree – it’s pretty much the same thing.
Eh, it doesn’t bother me. I always rinse my toothbrush in hot water when I’m done anyway.
I’ve been known to use my hubby’s because he brushes his teeth upstairs and I brush mine downstairs. If it’s late and I already have my jammies on, I’ll just use his brush. No harm, no foul. Although he probably doesn’t know I do it. Bwahahaahaha!
Oh you are evil! LOL! You should ask him what he would do and see how he reacts
It’s not something we do on a consistent basis, but every now and then one of us uses the other ones. I freak if DH uses mine – but I don’t throw it out. I just wash and go on. LOL.
GROSS GROSS GROSS!
When I was pregnant, and I was brushing my teeth, I noticed that my husband hadn’t rinsed his brush well enough and that sight alone made me start throwing up. So I would never ever in a million years be able to actually use his nasty tooth brush. LOL
I would never share a toothbrush. I’d sooner share underwear.
We ALWAYS have a bin full of toothbrushes for this very reason.
Oh gag, there’s no way I’d EVER share a toothbrush with anyone, not even my husband. The germs, food particles .. ewww.
Hells to the NO! Absolutely 100,392,250,320% NO! That is nasty and I would never do it. lol I don’t care what part of him as been or is inside me, teeth gross me out! Did you know that a human has more bacteria and germs in his mouth than a DOG!? Seriously, a.dog!
*gag*
I’m going to go brush my teeth now. Thanks, Heather! lol
HAHA Stef you made me crack up laughing with this
Thanks for coming by and sharing your 2 cents!!
You’re kidding, right?
No way in hell would I stick that thing in my mouth again and while I’ve said that about several things used by my husband, I’m totally dead serious about the toothbrush one.
I would be okay with it, but Hubby gets ticked with me when I borrow his toothbrush. I guess I’m more likely to be the offender. Oops.
Sometimes my kids run off with my toothbrush and I will never use it again. And one time or maybe it was a few times my hubby “accidentally” used mine and it became HIS. LOL.. grosses me OUT.
he took over ownership of your brush!? OMG
O.O
That’s a whole other level of *gag*
I may kiss that mouth but only after he’s used HIS toothbrush. So nope I’d be buying a new one.
OMG that is SOOO disgusting. There is a HUGE difference between being intimate, and eating the gunk, plaque and germs out of eachothers teeth. No, just nasty, no excuse. I might MIGHT have poured peroxide over it, let it sit for 5 minutes and then used it but even that was a hefty MIGHT.

Wow. I really can’t imagine being willing to french kiss someone and being grossed out by sharing a toothbrush with them.
I wouldn’t mind using the toothbrush again… after I boiled it. Ick!
