    You guys only brush you teeth under the shower?!
    I think my dentist would get very mad at me if I only brushed my teeth during holidays.

    In the sink like a sane person. How is brushing teeth in the shower saving you time?

    Neither. I brush them whilst standing next to the sink.

    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.

    On the sink. Brushing in the shower sounds like one of those productivity hacks people who think efficiency is important do.

  • Sink. I'd be wasting all that shower water I'm not actively washing with, or I'd be shivering with the water turned to a trickle. When I brush at the sink, I only need to wet the brush, and turn off the tap until I'm ready to rinse.

    Didn't realize the former is an option. Now I wanna try. This is like that time I realized I could just piss in the sink.

    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.

    Why on earth would you brush your teeth in the shower??

  • [โ€“] 15 points 1 year ago

    Sink. I brush my teeth twice a day. Brushing only when I shower would be revolting.

    Shower. I do it while the conditioner is "working".

    Why would I brush them in the shower? Itโ€™s so much wasted water and you donโ€™t even save time wtf

    I typically turn the water off if I'm brushing in the shower. Hop in, shampoo, rinse, apply conditioner, turn off water, brush teeth, scrub body, turn water on, rinse, done. Makes use of otherwise dead time I'd spend waiting for the conditioner to work, and is comfortable enough with the residual heat from the walls and steam.

    Ok that makes sense. Since I don't use conditioner I don't have any wait time in the shower.

    Shower in the morning, sink in the evening

    Pros:

    • if you are in a rush you can save time by scrubbing yourself and brushing simultaneously
    • any spills are washed away immediately, leaves the sink clean of toothpaste splatter
    • you get to stand under the nice warm water for a few extra minutes instead of standing in front of the sink, staring at your tired self in the mirror while doing your brushing regimen

    Cons:

    • apparently women don't really care for the concept so be aware of that lol

    The sink. It never occurred to me that people regularly brush their teeth in the shower until now.

    I used to brush without wetting the toothbrush, but ever since I saw a fruit fly on my toothbrush, I've rinsed it off before using.

    The sink, obviously.

    What kind of maniac would keep their toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and whatnot in the shower? (Or even worse, carry them into the shower, wash their teeth, shower with only one hand while awkwardly holding onto them with the other, awkwardly dry themselves using only one hand, and then store them back next to the sink where they belong?)

    Shower for sure

  • I keep a toothbrush and bottle of toothpaste in the shower because I have atrocious ADHD and that is the only place I ever remember to brush them. It's literally the one lifehack that I've tried that has actually worked. I've been doing it for a couple years now and I finally brush my teeth every day after struggling for my entire life.

    I mean, if I'm already showering, sometimes I'll brush whilst showering

    But 99% of time, the sink

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

    Why would you brush your teeth in the shower and what idiot uses a dry toothbrush to brush their teeth,

    On the toilet. I multitask.

    I prefer to brush my teeth outside on the porch when possible.

  • 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.

    Brushing your teeth in the shower is like leaving the water running while you brush in the sink, except even worse.

    both on occasion, but i brush my teeth at least once or twice a day, while i only shower like once a week usually. so it is most often the sink.

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

    You don't have a sink in your shower?

  • 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.
