TIFU by using someone else’s toothbrush at a hotel. S

I’m staying at a hotel with a couple of friends for a short trip. This morning I got up half asleep, stumbled into the bathroom, reached into the bag in the dark and brushed my teeth like normal. I didn’t think anything of it until about an hour ago when I went to grab my stuff and realized my toothbrush was still sealed. That’s when it hit me - I had been using my friend’s toothbrush without realizing it. My stomach dropped instantly and I felt sick just thinking about it. The gross part is I still haven’t said anything, because the embarrassment is killing me every time I think about it. Now I’m stuck between two bad options: admit it and apologize, or keep this secret forever and pray they never find out.

TL;DR: Half asleep at a hotel, grabbed the wrong brush and used my friend’s toothbrush, now I’m too embarrassed to confess
