Opinions were divided after Kelly Clarkson candidly shared her shower routine during a conversation with Saturday Night Live star Keenan Thompson on her show, The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Clarkson revealed that she occasionally brushes her teeth in the shower as a time-saving measure, a revelation that sparked a mix of reactions from viewers. While some found the practice efficient, others deemed it unhygienic for a toothbrush to be brought into the shower.

Addressing her shower habit, Clarkson clarified, “Here’s the thing, I don’t regularly brush my teeth in the shower. I just do if I’m in a hurry. Now, I do happen to be in a hurry often.” Thompson offered reassurance, labeling it as “fine” and expressing understanding for different preferences, while also admitting his personal aversion to the practice.

Viewers took to social media to share their thoughts, with some expressing concern over the idea of sharing a shower with a toothbrush and asserting that the sink was the appropriate place for dental hygiene. However, others praised Clarkson for her efficiency and relatable approach to time management.

For those who do choose to brush their teeth in the shower, experts advise caution regarding hygiene. Given the potential for bacteria growth in the humid environment, it’s recommended to keep toothbrushes separate from the shower area to prevent contamination. Additionally, if brushing teeth in the shower, it’s advised not to leave the toothbrush there afterward to avoid bacterial spread.
