My spouse and I use the phrase "we lick each others genitals" anytime one of us joke about sharing germs.

People I work with were shocked to learn I share a toothbrush with my wife. This being a work chat, I had to settle for, "Wait till you hear what else we share"... But I like yours way better.
Once your tongue has been in somebody else's mouth I feel like sharing a toothbrush is not a huge deal
Difference is, we're not using our tongues to pry rotten food stuffs from each other's gums.
Speak for yourself
Y'all Amish or something?
your loss
Not like their saliva would have any of it anyway /s
chocolate -raspberry ice cream and brandy is an extremely sensual kiss.
If we did we could save the money we spend on toothbrushes.
Kind of like monkeys picking things out of the fur of each other. Only facing one another.
And less crunchy.
It happens accidentally from time to time. No big deal. But if one of you is sick and the other isn't then that's a pretty good transmission vector. So it's worth paying more attention in those situations.
.... just get your own handles?? that things charge only lasts like 3 weeks with just one person i can't imagine sharing it
The specific model is rechargeable, unless I'm misunderstanding you.
you must be, because i said it lasts 3 weeks which implies i know it's rechargeable. I'm not aware of any disposable electric toothbrush named sonicare with swappable tooth brush heads.
i have the same toothbrush. that stupid annoying charging base + how fast it dies is a terrible downside for the product for me, and I can't imagine splitting the battery with another person and keeping it on those god awful chargers even more often
What's wrong with the chargers? We have one of those brushes here and it just lives on the charger when not in use. We've never had any issues.
That's how it was designed. That's how everyone uses it.
Interesting. Mine is based on a NiCad battery and I don't think it lasts anywhere close to that long.
They cost quite a lot, they seem designed around sharing, got an oral b one currently and the heads have little coloured rings you can put on them.
This made me vomit a little in my mouth.
