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

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

    But 99% of time, the sink

      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’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.

    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.

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