So I thought of this after a joke in How I Met Your Mother about Marshall and Lily sharing a toothbrush…does anyone else do that?
All the characters on the show were super weirded out by the idea, but I’ll admit that the mister and I kinda do it too. We have maybe 4 tootbrushes between the two of us, two in the medicine cabinet and two in the shower and we always just use what’s closest. So I guess we share all four? Maybe it’s a little gross. Hmmm.

I have, on occasion, used my FI’s toothbrush. This is usually when we have been out of town and I forgot my own. He thinks it’s disgusting, so I don’t usually tell him!

No way! Bleck! We’re both neurotically clean, so toothbrush sharing won’t happen with us.

I have a small mouth- so I still use a pediatric toothbrush, so I don’t think we could share. But I must admit I shared most of the characters reactions [read: ew]

I was wondering if this was referencing the HIMYM episode when I saw the title! 😛
We’ve only shared on occasion, like when one of us forgot our toothbrush somewhere else, or if it broke, etc. I think it’s happened maybe 5 times in our 5 1/2 year relationship.

I loved that episode!
I would only share a toothbrush in an emergency situation!

We’ve shared when one of us forgets a toothbrush, or if one of us uses the other’s accidentally, it’s not a big deal. He’s the ONLY Person I could ever do that with!

Yuck yuck yuck!!! Ugh, that makes me shudder! I don’t know if I would do it even in an emergency situation. That totally squicks me out!

Ew no way. My boy and I have lived together for over 5 years so we have pretty loose boundaries, but using eachothers toothbrush would make those boundaries WAY too loose for my liking.

maybe only once..and it was me using his. He would NEVER use mine though. Fiance is a dentist and he knows all too well how many bugs live comfortably in toothbrushes. 😀

Nope. I have an electric toothbrush and he has a regular one. I’ve only used his on the rarest of occassions–like my battery died in mine and I’d already trashed the headpiece and I basically had no toothbrush. Or when I’d fly to see him (when we were LDR for 5 years) it was inevtiable that one of us would occassionally forget a toothbrush and we’d have to go buy one the next day.
We share a toilet. Toilets collect poop. Poop is grosser than mouth scurf. =]
