Have any of you ever used your spouse's (or someone else's) toothbrush by mistake, only to realize during the act what you'd done?
Did it really gross you out?
It seems unreasonable to me that using your spouse's toothbrush would be a big deal. But last night it was, to a certain member of our household.

I used my husband's toothbrush once and was pretty grossed out. It makes no sense, I know, but . . .
I think there was a Seinfeld episode about the whole sanitary issues of the toothbrush. That's something I'll NEVER share with another person. Also, I heard on a radio interview with some dental experts yesterday that some tooth decay germs are transmitted person to person by sharing toothbrushes...then again if you're married, you're probably already swapping spit so maybe you should just make sure you have a good dental plan.
It grosses DOB out, too. And I accidentally do it rather frequently. That's what happens when you get the two-for-one package of toothbrushes and they're blue and purple so they look almost the same. And then he insists on the purple one.
But, yeah, I don't think it's much grosser than kissing. Although a lot less fun.
I'm with Kevin. I've almost done it, caught myself with relief, and thought about how disgusting that would have been. =D
So I have a question. How is sharing a toothbrush more germy than kissing the person who brushes their teeth, especially if it's BEFORE they brush their teeth?
Gross. Kissing is just disgusting. I'm not sure using someone else's toothbrush is even as gross as that.
Either that or completely insane. No wonder he isn't married. What a nard!!
No wonder he couldn't get a "date" for the superbowl.
Actually, you guys haven't been married long enough. Just wait another 30 years and then ask the same question!
no problems sharing toothbrushes here. In fact, sometimes I grab my wife's toothbrush if we're on vacation and mine isn't unpacked or something. I think I started once because I didn't have my toothbrush and she had already stolen mine once. :) You figure you rinse out the toothbrush and it had stuff to clean your teeth on it. It's kind of like sharing a bar of soap.
