Sharing thermometers, aspirators, and nose fridas

Do your twins share rectal thermometers, aspirators, and nose fridas?  Even if you clean well in between, is it gross/unsafe to use the same one for both?  Or should I get two each of these?

    Mine share everything, even pacis when they were taking them. I put those little plastic covers over the thermometer though.

    It pretty much is totally gross but our girls share all of the above. Im not very good about keeping separate pacifiers either.

    I've seen non-related kids share lollipops, so I wouldn't think twice about sharing the pacis

    We color code everything (pacifiers, thermometers..), so that helps us keep things straight. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't used the same nasal bulb a few times, but I really try to keep thermometers and pacifiers assigned to one baby.

    We share everything but thermometers.  I labeled those and we only use them for one baby.  I do clean them with alcohol after each use, so it probably doesn't matter, it's just a mental thing for me.

    There is no way to keep pacis separate after they are old enough to pass them back and forth, so I saw no point in trying.
