What you and partner do that others would find gross

Inspired by the peeing in the shower thread, where apparently it’s gross to share a towel (I disagree). Are there things you and your partner do that might be considered gross?

In my house we have multiple toothbrushes and my husband and I just use whichever one (ie we share toothbrushes).

However, we’d never wear outdoor shoes in the house, nor would outdoor clothes be allowed on or in our bed.

Have sex without showering first. We shower afterwards!

My ex and me used to get drunk, and looked up gruesome videos on the internet.

Sharing toothbrushes is so rank!

Share bath water

In some cultures (my husband’s included) the whole family shares bath water (they all shower before taking a bath though). I’ve shared the family bath water when visiting them.

Flymyway · 25/09/2022 21:58

Lick and suck each other's genitals 😱

Ewarty · 25/09/2022 21:58

And pee/poo with the door open. Often chatting.

GAW19 · 25/09/2022 22:01

We sit and have a chat in the bathroom if one is on the toilet
We also fart and burp a lot in front of each other Smile

😂just burst out laughing

QuizzlyBears · 25/09/2022 22:09

Why though? Never washing your hands is just grim and you’re risking spreading so many germs and bacteria about. Genuinely - is it laziness or do you not think you need to?

CandyLeBonBon · 25/09/2022 22:09

I do love a MN competitive mingfest!

Rainbowx · 25/09/2022 22:11

Fart and squeeze spots!!

VladmirsPoutine · 25/09/2022 22:12

Competitive filthiness. A true mumsnet sporting event.

AtSomePointInLife · 25/09/2022 22:14

We fart a lot but I agree that never washing your hands is grim ConfusedEnvy

IamSmarticus · 25/09/2022 22:15

Surely nobody sits and chats to someone wo is having a shit - that's disgusting! The bathroom door is firmly shut when I am in there Grin

I can't imagine sharing family bath water. So gross! 💀 wouldn't even want to share my husbands bath water 😂

ChocChipOwl · 25/09/2022 22:17

Ugh. Almost all of these are gross. Can't believe never washing your hands and sharing any old toothbrush is practically a point of pride 🤮

Anyway it'll shortly become a competitive 'who can be the most disgusting' race to the bottom thread in 3, 2, 1 ..

Kedece2410 · 25/09/2022 22:19

Don't wash out hands ever

🤮 Please tell me you're kidding

tyyger · 25/09/2022 22:19

Don't wash out hands ever

Not even through Covid?

I have never had a relationship in which showering crossed anyone’s mind as something that was required either before or after sex.
