I wonder what is the ratio of wet vs dry brushers.

    I used to brush in the shower back in my early 20s. Then one time when I went to spit, it landed right on my dick.

    Toothpaste is an unexpectedly uncomfortable feeling, so now it’s sink only.

      I got a beesting right on my penis once, and the only thing that helped was a compress of baking-soda based toothpaste. It does, indeed, feel weird and uncomfortable, but it beats the hell out of an itchy, painful beesting.

    Personally I brush my teeth in the shower after pewiepie mentioned it one time. A bad habit from trying one time.

    I’ve never even considered brushing my teeth under the shower? That seems unnecessary and impractical imo. I shower ever other day usually and I brush my teeth at least twice a day, but currently 4 times a day due to braces. I don’t see how these 2 things align in terms of planning?

      Despite what a dentist might say, I imagine most people still brush once a day. I grew up doing that and had no cavities or other issues.

        Really? That would surprise me a lot. Maybe it’s a cultural difference, I’m not sure where you’re from. I can’t imagine that the majority of the people I know only brush once a day, I’ve never noticed anyone deviating from the normal morning/evening pattern. But I also haven’t really paid much attention so maybe I just haven’t noticed. How do people do that? I tend to notice quite quickly that I forgot toe brush because it feels yucky.

          You know what, I’m not exactly surveying people regularly so I could be wrong. Maybe it’s from when I was growing up (it’s not exactly a common conversation as an adult) that I get that impression.

          As for the teeth, I’ve never noticed it feeling off unless I’ve missed a whole day, but I’ve kept to brushing once a day (short of special occasions that you’d want to brush right before something in addition to your regular brushing) so I might not be tuned into that.

      Not to mention, where the hell do you put your toothbrush and stuff while you’re lathering up with soap? I don’t wanna get soap on my toothbrush.

    I used to keep toothbrushes and toothpaste by each sink and in both showers. It can be convenient to just do everything while you’re in there.

    I brush at the sink, but use my waterpik in the shower 'cause it’s too messy otherwise.

    I take cold showers, so I am doing everything in my power to get in and out in 2 minutes or less. I would absolutely not add teeth brushing to my routine in there.
