Toothbrush

Shaving sticks

Earphones and earbuds

Listening to music together can be fun, but sharing earphones isn’t the best idea. Our ears have natural bacteria and earwax that can stick to earbuds.

Lip balm and lipstick

Sharing lip balm or lipstick might seem like no big deal, especially among close friends. However, these products touch your lips, which can carry viruses like the common cold or cold sores, etc.
