Would you share a roll on with teen DS?

[EhatBow]

I'm packing for a short trip with 18yo DS.

We need to travel very light. We'll be sharing a tent so logistically can share toiletries. So, would you share a roll on deodorant? What about a razor? I'll draw the line at toothbrushes....

Any tips?

I wouldn't share a roll-on with anyone, it's something that's for my personal use only.

Yes for roll on and no for razor (incase of slight nip and blood transfer etc) and toothbrush 😂 but I'm quite relaxed like that

No,I wouldn't share any of those things with anyone!

Deodorant yes, razor - on holiday for a few days - does not compute! Neither of you needs a razor!

No. I'd take travel sized toiletries but separate for each person. You can share toothpaste!

If I'm swimming my legs need doing everyday. If I want properly smooth legs to go out in the eveing they need doing twice a day!

DS will shave probably once in 4 days.

This is why I love Mumsnet, it gives me a massive insight into how other people think and live.

To the non sharers it's a plastic ball that has touched his skin and your skin. Do you not touch your children's skin?

The girls in our house all share razor's. Husband hasn't shaved for 8 years.

Personally I don't think a roll on deodorant and razor tale up enough space that you would need to share.

Of course I do, but I don't tend to go poking round in my dd's armpit!

Take a spray deodorant?

No! Everyone has specific bacteria in their armpit that differs from person to person. I wouldn’t share a roll-on with someone else.

Think of potentially spreading scabies. Then buy another st the airport

Unless you like being hairy you do

Buy a travel size spray. There'll be plenty for 2 for a short trip.

Roll on yes ...cannot think why not.
Razor and toothbrush no !

Unless you are going somewhere very remote without shops, you can probably buy most toiletries there? We often buy our toiletries at our destination.

I've shared with DD but not sure if I would a boy

How much space does a deodorant and a razor take up ffs.

No way.

Would your son mind sharing?

There's really no need to share these things. Miniatures and disposable razors take up minimum space.

I would in an unplanned way e.g. one of us forgot, but probably wouldn’t plan to share the roll on and would either pack 2 or a spray. I realise this is illogical.

I'm team 'how much space to these things take up?'
If you're worried about space just buy disposable razors when you get there.

Roll-on wouldn’t bother me but might bother teen DS.

Can’t imagine anywhere you’d go where you’d both not be able to pack a second razor and yet need a razor. Climbing Everest? Leave the razor at home. Weekend away with carry-on bag only? You’ve got room for two. Actually this probably goes for the deodorant as well.

It's with her son not a stranger from the hostel, wouldn't she know if he had scabies?
