I always thought bad breath in the morning was normal

[Firststop]

DH and I always brushed our teeth before any morning shanigans. His breath was fine the rest of the time, but horrible first thing. I brushed mine because my mouth didn't feel so fresh, and I assumed I was the same.

New DP is lovely to kiss from the moment he wakes, and seems very happy to kiss me too!

What is Shanigans ?

What your eating can affect the smell of breath and hormones can also have an affect. Everyone is different, some smellier than others

I don't get any morning shenanigans these days but I brush my teeth all the same.

I've always brushed my teeth when I get up. That won't change, but it seems it's not as necessary as I thought before getting up.

Sounds like an 80s nightclub

It's always like that at the beginning though, isn't it? Lust makes us nose blind!

That said, I was with one guy who didn't have morning breath. It smelt sweet and pleasant which was highly unusual.

Perhaps he sleeps with his mouth tightly closed all night? I think open mouth breathing and snoring can make your breath worse. I’ve never been with anyone who didn’t have morning breath and sometimes mine is awful 😭

Some people have bad breath in the mornings and some don’t. Not sure what it has to do with shenanigans or sex.
