Husband uses toothbrush!

Omg am so annoyed, realised this week that my husband regularly uses my electric toothbrush as he cba getting his own toothbrush off the charger!

I've already told him off for using my pink towels. He kept doing it so I now hide them.

Final straw he now uses my specialist hair conditioner mask as just caught him in the bath rubbing it in.

WWYD? Argh

Charge your brush then put it away! Get disciplined on that.
Towels are hidden so that’s covered.
Buy him some masculine hair treatment & put yours away.
He is a man child & clearly needs guidance about what’s acceptable. Toothbrush sharing is not. Yuk.

I'd pull a matilda move.

Put peroxide in hair products he thinks you use.

Bluerrghhh. 🤢

That would drive me insane.

Or nail varnish remover.
Itching powder on the towels.
Chili on the toothbrush.

Tell him you don’t like it and ask him to stop?

Buy him some masculine hair treatment & put yours away

aren’t hair product unisex? (Outside of marketing “for men” shit).

the hair stuff I wouldn’t have a problem with. Unless it’s ridiculously expensive, in which case let him know. If he’s happy paying for it, fine.

toothbrush is grim,

Towels again as long as he’s not using them while you are (as in you use them more than once and he is also using them) then why don’t they just get used and washed between people?

Got pink towels for me and blue for him as don't like sharing towels!

Casually mention you dropped your toothbrush down the loo before you flushed and watch his face. Or better still actually do that and buy yourself a new one which gets hidden away.

That's grim. Have you asked him not to use your toothbrush?

Years ago, I had a favourite towel I used to wrap my head in after washing my hair and one day found OH standing on it after his shower. Words were had and he didn't do it again.

I would tell him to stop using my toothbrush. If you don’t have a bathroom each then keep the toothbrushes together so that it is no easier to use one than the other.

We don’t have particular colour towels and I wouldn’t care if he took a pink towel from the airing cupboard and used it, but I would object to sharing a towel.

I would least care about him using my conditioner and don’t see how that is the final straw in all this. If he wants to condition his hair then good we would buy enough conditioner for us both.
