Do you bring your own toothpaste when staying over?

1. Generally, yes, unless it’s to my parents

2. It’s just a standard item in my wash bag.

3. I take my own.

   If I forget mine I apologise to my host for using theirs.

   It’s such a weirdly personal item.

4. I bring my own, it’s already there in my toiletries bag.

5. Yes always I bring my own

6. Towel, toothpaste..the lot .

7. I know this might be wrong, but I tend to just use the host’s. No one is going to miss a bit of toothpaste just like if they’re making you tea/sandwich/juice they’re not going to miss the butter or juice.

   Same applies for anyone staying at mine. Cba with the hassle of exploding toiletries when I’m only going for a night. Different story if I’m there a week or something but I haven’t stayed anywhere for that long in years.

8. Yes, always – travels with my toothbrush

9. Yeah. I just take my washbag which has toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, shaver in it.

10. Depends if I’m going with my partner. If I am, yes I’ll take ours.

    If not, I’ll probably buy some but if its my parents ill nick theirs.

11. I can’t stand standard mint flavoured toothpaste so I always bring my own.

12. Always take my own. You’re taking your own toothbrush, and toothpaste doesn’t take up much space so take your own

13. Yeah, definitely, but because I need Sensodyne otherwise my teeth will very quickly start hurting.

    If I could use any toothpaste then I might bring some just if it’s already in my wash bag, and let’s face it, sometimes other toothpastes taste terrible…but I also wouldn’t mind using other people’s too. I don’t think the people I’m staying with would care. It’s toothpaste.

14. Can’t remember the last time I stayed with someone but if I did I would definitely bring my own toothpaste as I can guarantee they won’t have my particular one.

15. No, toothpaste is shared.

16. Always – everyone I ever stay with as a minimum has a master ensuite so they don’t really keep much in their main bathroom.

    We have toothpaste and a couple of spare (sealed) toothbrushes in our guest bedroom ensuite but nothing in the main bathroom so anyone staying in the spare bedroom would be stuck, although in the 8 years we’ve been here I think there’s only one person ever stayed in it – it’s usually the snoring room (ie I get booted out of the master for snoring 😉 )
