To sterilise new toothbrushes?

[Petsinmypudenda]

Actually i know i an not being unreasonable. I don't know what's been done to it before it goes into its box.

Husband says its weird but no its not, he is just a filthy minge

My mum, god bless her, was a bit antsy about germs. When she visited me in London, she could only go to the loo at harrods if we were out, regardless of where we were or what we were doing.and I think she was known to disinfect toothbrushes. Also washed bars of soap after washing her hands. She did admit she had odd habits though.

at 'filthy minge'

OP, do you suspect that a rogue packer might have stuck a random assortment of toothbrushes off the conveyor belt up his arse, or something?

Would you not expect such a toothbrush to bear traces of, um, evidence if this sort of untoward behaviour had occured?

Oh, and keeping used toothbrushes in cases is truly minging. YABU.

ITS NOT ABOUT THE BLOODY GERMS!!

So, what do you think sterilising is for?
Chemicals?

Hahahahaha!

You fruit loop

Madmouse - yy, that's right - I've heard lots of official sanitary types wearily insist that people who wash chickens under taps are loons, as they are merely spraying the surrounding area with salmonella-infected droplets of water. If you cook a chicken at the correct heat, all nasties are erradicated.

Would you sterilise each and every other thing that goes in your mouth?
I could kind of understand a good rinse of new toothbrush to get rid of loose chemical residues.

"I some times give chicken a bit of wash"

You shouldn't. Washing chicken splashes the germs around everywhere. you would then have to use bleach/anti bac on your sink, draining board and work surface afterwards. Cooking the chicken kills of any pathogens anyway. If you must clean your chicken I would use a damp piece of kitchen towel to wipe it and then dispose of it immediately - the towel not the chicken

"Would you sterilise each and every other thing that goes in your mouth?"

hope the OP's husband never gets, ahem, 'oral pleasure' from the OP then

what about your tampax, god only knows what they could be doing with those in the factory. Do you give them aquick dip in boiling water before inserting?

Lol do you make dh dip his knob in dettol before he comes( near u).

flibberty My Mum made me joint and stuff a chicken within hours of my first touching a penis. I'm sure she must have known. and

Fortunately I got over it and went on to have children and bea competant cook, but it was touch and go for several years.

I don't use tampax. I have a mooncup

I don't Milton dh's knob because he showers

i wonder what happens toa moon cup before they go on sale

Its ok Mrsjay i boiled it before use

How about things like shower gel, face cream or make up. How do you mange with these. For all you know the factory worker might be taking a piss in the vats of shower gel.

Even I'm not with you on this OP, and I'm the fraek who washes yogurts before putting them in my children's packed lunches.

Its only my toothbrush i worry about..I'm not compleatly insane

I'm absolutely astonished that it would even occur to someone to do this.

You are Howard Hughes.

What's a moon cup?

How to people with this level or dedication to germ eradication manage to have sex.

Right googled moon cup!! Wow just wow, do you have to was and re use it or is each one fresh?? Am intrigued. Are they good?

U r mental about your toothbrush btw imo.

I'm absolutely astonished that it would even occur to someone not to do this.

Seriously, you think most people think it's normal to sterilise box fresh toothbrushes?

Okaaaaaay then.

"do you wash new clothes before buying them? "

How does that work then

But Squoosh how do you know that box is fresh?
