Anyone else do this? I have done this for as long as I can remember and I swear every time it comes up in a conversation (at a friends, camping, etc etc) everyone I have ever told completely freaks out and goes 'WTF YOU BRUSH IN THE SHOWER?'

Benefits of brushing in the shower:

1) Saves time (two things at once)
2) Saves water (see above)
3) Never forget to as I shower every day and its like BAM right there.

So, do you brush in the shower?

i've always thought this was a good idea and wanted to try it, but i feared that it would be weird.

I used to brush my teeth in the shower all the time before I got an electric toothbrush... But I still floss in the shower! I find flossing outside of the shower to be a bit gross for some reason. I always find myself worrying about getting teeth gunk on my shirt or on my fingers as I'm flossing it out.

Only when I'm in an insane rush and am practically shaving at the same time using the toothpaste foam.

EDIT: Don't do it, you fuck up you're burning.

actually this is wrong. by brushing in the shower you waste more water.

i dont know about you guys, but I'm a heterosexual male. As such, I usually shower for about 3 or 4 minutes. during this time I wet my hair and body, use soap on the required areas, and rinse my hair with shampoo. doing those things requires my hands. if im brushing my teeth, it means i cant do those things.

brushing your teeth in the shower only saves time if you're the kind of person who just chills under the shower not doing anything.

I have an electric toothbrush, but I must say this intrigues me

how does that save any water? lol.. you're in the shower for just as long, maybe even slightly longer if you're brushing your teeth -> wasting more water

You lifehacker. I don't want to do this at night though, feels like a morning thing. Is it refreshing?

i love multitasking
i foam up my hair with shampoo with one hand, brush teeth with another, memorize a formula in my head, all the while peeing in the shower

No,my hands are usually busy with washing the rest of the body. It's still impressing to see that more than 50% of TL has more than 2 hands.

I guess it saves water if, like Iazz said, you're the kind of person who just chills with nothing better to do in the shower..........

I admit, I do kind of waste water just chilling in the shower sometimes, but I pay an enormous amount of room and board for my dorm apartment-- I'm using that water!

I have having to wait around while the conditioner works so I usually brush to pass the time.. I also take really long morning showers because I'm always half asleep and usually doze off a little bit.

To those saying it wastes time, at this point I imagine that people (at least I am) are in such a rush that they are already doing everything at x2 speed. Also, it's possible to use 1 hand for shampoo/soap.
