I think 1 is more than enough despite the size of the polycule and keeps the counter looking tidy. What do you think?

Update: getting an electric tooth brush with our first fruits and getting a separate brush attachment for each of us that we can make a piece of pottery to hold super easy! Thanks for the input those that were helpful!

    Am I going crazy? One toothbrush for every person. I’m a monogamuggle, and I don’t even share a toothbrush regularly with my wife. If you insist on the counter being tidy, put them in a drawer. Also prevents aerosolized fecal matter from getting on the toothbrush head.

    Well, I mean, I’d assume one is fine if you’re all taking turns on detailing duty. But one per room in rooms with countertops and grout. Maybe two for the kitchen since that’s usually the big job in case you need help

    It is sometimes recommended that each person have TWO toothbrushes to ensure that it dries thoroughly between uses. You don’t want to be culturing your mouth bacteria on your toothbrush.

    You also don’t all have the same mouth biome, because you likely have different oral hygiene habits, diets, etc. So no, you don’t want to share toothbrushes, those of you with less healthy oral biomes may be giving undesirable stuff to those of you with healthier ones.

    Someone with “Lenin” in the nickname should not ask this question because it is obvious commies will confiscate all the toothbrushes.

    If you replace yours after every use, then go for it!

    If you keep a more traditional schedule of toothbrush replacement, I’d strongly suggest one brush per person per month. You might get away with one brush per 2 people per month, or one brush per person per up to 3 months, but not both.
