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

    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.

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

      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.

          I do the same thing as @[email protected] - 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 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.

    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.

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

    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

      Same! My current partner doesn’t mind and I actually convinced a previous partner to adopt it so there are at least two ladies out there who are neutral-to-positive about it.

      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.
