I've occasionally used it on holidays if I'd forgotten mine

No way, but I do have OCD.

Watto1 · 29/04/2021 16:31

We share the electric toothbrush ‘handle’ but have our own heads for it.

BeyondMyWits · 29/04/2021 16:31

No, but he uses mine sometimes ... I have magic spit, that gets rid of his mouth ulcers, but for some reason kissing doesn't work...

Yes I'd use anyone's toothbrush

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 29/04/2021 16:32

If I was desperate, let's face it I've had other things of his in my mouth 🤷🏻‍♀️

C0nn1e · 29/04/2021 16:32

No. I suppose I could dip it in milton first though.

schroeder · 29/04/2021 16:32

No because he would freak! I wouldn't be too bothered if he used mine.

MikeWozniaksGloriousTache · 29/04/2021 16:33

Yeah, of course. It’s not the worst thing I’ve put in my mouth, we kiss and swap saliva and tooth brushes are cleaned after every use.

No, I would rather not, but we both have different electric toothbrushes. If I forgot my toothbrush on holiday I'd go and buy one.

rosemary35 · 29/04/2021 16:35

Yes, and in fact we share one toothbrush 90% of the time Blush (we do own two, but just too lazy to keep them both in charge normally). It doesn’t bother us at all.

I wouldn’t use anyone’s toothbrush though like above poster, just my husbands!

Tal45 · 29/04/2021 16:36

Of course, I have much worse things than that of his in my mouth.

GreyhoundG1rl · 29/04/2021 16:36

No.

gamerchick · 29/04/2021 16:37

No. Just like I wouldn't eat food he's chewed for me.

Because it's gross.

GeidiPrimes · 29/04/2021 16:37

I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about someone else's plaque particles swishing in my mouth.

SocraticJunkieWannabe · 29/04/2021 16:42

Occasionally, if I've forgotten mine and we're away somewhere. Definitely not as a regular occurrence.

RolloTomassi · 29/04/2021 16:44

Love him but ew no

Ha! I said exactly the same to my ex when he'd forgotten his toothbrush. I said just use mine, it's ok. He was aghast at the thought until I said "excuse me- I had your cock in my mouth last night"! He nodded thoughtfully and said fair point. 😂
LubaLuca · 29/04/2021 16:46

Yes, if it were a dire situation like having to go out for a job interview or dentist appointment. His mouth is clean enough.

BertieBotts · 29/04/2021 16:46

No because I have crap teeth and I don't want him getting my germs!

Also he has crap teeth but in a different way. I don't want to catch his teeth germs!

Apparently the germs that cause tooth decay are particularly bad so I do think sharing a toothbrush is worse than kissing or sharing a fork or drink bottle or something.

LegoPoliceman · 29/04/2021 16:51

Not as a regular occurrence but will do if, say, we've gone away somewhere and one of us has forgotten ours. It's unlikely to be the germiest thing you do with an intimate partner.

Popcornbetty · 29/04/2021 16:59

Yuk no, i wouldn't use anybody's. I obviously think his mouth is lovely and clean but that is after cleaning his teeth!
