Do you brush your teeth in the shower?

My husband does this, I think it's weird. What do you do?

I've actually never done that in my entire life. For one, that just seems completely weird to me, especially since I have to spit when I'm brushing my teeth. For another, my shower and my tooth supplies are completely across the bathroom from each other, which would be sort of hard to get from one to the other without leaving a dripping mess on the floor. I suppose to each their own, right? Hey, as long as he's not peeing in the shower, I think you're still safe. After all, at least he's keeping his breath smelling nice and getting his body clean at the same time. :P

Oh, now I could not handle peeing in the shower. I've actually heard that some people do that...though I've never known anybody myself or at least no one who admits to it, thankfully! He has two toothbrushes. One for the shower and one for the sink. At least he's smart about it!

I think that's a guy thing. I actually have known a few guys who do this, and I think it's to save time--they figure if they're in the shower and there is water, they might as well use it to do everything. Personally, I don't like brushing my teeth in the shower. Brushing my teeth with warm water is weird to me in general.

I have done this a few times when I have been in a rush, but for some reason it does feel weird when I do it so I very rarely do it. I dont like the warm water for the shower to rinse my mouth out I much prefer to use the cold water from the tap

I never do it in my life,but my boyfriend does it quite often.At first I thought it was strange,but now it seems nothing special to me.Usually I brush my teeth before I go to sleep,and it makes me feel comfortable.

Yes that is weird and gross. I only brush my teeths in the bathroom sink. Well, at least it is while he is taking a shower instead of a bath.

I think it is weird too, but on second thought it is a good time saver in the morning. I usually jump out of bed in the morning and brush my teeth then hop in the shower but I kind of like your husband's time saver!
