I wonder what is the ratio of wet vs dry brushers.
Y’all weird. I brush my teeth in my mouth.
The same sink I piss in? No thanks
I wouldn’t brush my teeth in the same shower I shit in either.
Shower for sure
Why would I brush them in the shower? It’s so much wasted water and you don’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.
I do the same thing as @redhorsejacket@lemmy.world - except I wait for shampoo to work. I read that shampoo takes 4-6 minutes to work. I then confirmed this with 2 dermatologists. This is especially important if someone is using anti-dandruff shampoo.
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.
In the sink like a sane person. How is brushing teeth in the shower saving you time?
Brush teeth during the pre-rinse cycle
Yeah while I’m wetting my hair and while I’m washing the shampoo out of my hair
Seems dangerous to open your mouth while rinsing shampoo. I too like to live life on the edge.
How long is your pre-rinse? Are you covered in thick wool or something? Are you naturally water-repellant?
Baaaaaaa
Neither. I brush them whilst standing next to the sink.
Brushing your teeth in the shower is like leaving the water running while you brush in the sink, except even worse.
If you are hanging out in the shower for a but anyways, it isn’t.
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.I brush in the shower in the morning and I’m the sink before bed
On the sink. Brushing in the shower sounds like one of those productivity hacks people who think efficiency is important do.
Keeps all the white toothpaste flecks off the mirror.
Keep your mouth closed…
You can umm… You can also clean it.
Spouse does it, but they go goblin mode. Paste foam everywhere. I guess they find it fun.
Why on earth would you brush your teeth in the shower??
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.
Or shit in the sink. There’s even a subreddit for that.
🤮
Why would you piss in a sink?
Save the planet
It’s a better height than the toilet.

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.
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.
