I cannot find an acceptable toothbrush holder for four people

That’s it. I need a toothbrush holder for four people that does not let the brushes bump together. That’s all.

All manual toothbrushes like proper old school.

Is this an impossible ask?

I do not want anything that collects spit at the bottom. Horrid.

You can should wash them out, you know.

Though how about something like this www.johnlewis.com/robert-welch-burford-toothbrush-holder/p230977010

Soontobe60 · 22/01/2021 21:45

We use toothbrush head covers www.superdrug.com/Toiletries/Travel-Accessories/Toothbrush-Holder/Superdrug-Toothbrush-Case-Pack-of-Two-Pink/p/420454
And the brushes live in a jar in the bathroom cabinet.

Interested in this thread?

Those heads must just provide a moist biodome for bacterial surely?!

Washing out spit cup - noooooo

Or, you could just get over it. I presume you have at some point kissed the people you live with?

TwigTheWonderKid · 22/01/2021 21:48

thisone?

or wall mounted?

mogtheexcellent · 22/01/2021 21:49

have you tried kitchen cutlery/ washing up utensils holders? we have a dunelm mills one.

alternatively joseph joseph has this toothbrush holder

Imkindreally · 22/01/2021 21:49

Joseph Joseph 6 person holder...leave middle row empty

joeyroo · 22/01/2021 21:52

We have the Josephjoseph one, it's much neater/cleaner than anything else we've tried

Covidasaurus · 22/01/2021 21:52

@TwigTheWonderKid I like the wall mounted one although god only knows how I’d work out the tax from the US... but it’s got potential

Covidasaurus · 22/01/2021 21:55

the Joseph one seems a popular choice

I looks v boring but hmmmm

I like the wall mounted one. Op, it's on amazon.com and it's much cheaper in dollars!

RadGlags · 22/01/2021 21:59

We use children’s toothbrushes that have a sucker on the bottom so they can stand independently. You are supposed to use soft bristle toothbrushes anyway as they are less damaging to your gums.
They feel so much more hygienic!

Covidasaurus · 22/01/2021 22:03

@EssentiallyDelightedid seen that one but worried it might come off the wall easily?

Sucker toothbrushes are an excellent idea!

I have the Jospeh Jospehy one in blue instead of grey
It's a bastard for collecting dirty water and needs washing out daily. It has a slit that's supposed to help I assume? Don't. .

AKissAndASmile · 23/01/2021 00:09

Yuck, you're not meant to keep toothbrushes out on display in bathrooms.. .have you not seen those documentaries where a flushed toilet expels droplets of faeces?

Elouera · 23/01/2021 00:11

Is there a reason you all still use manual toothbrushes?

PickAChew · 23/01/2021 00:14

Yes, they work just fine. Ask any dentist who isn't getting a backhander.

5zeds · 23/01/2021 00:21

I think electric work massively better but I’m sure OP can choose her own toothbrush. Stick a magnet on the end of the handle and a metal strip on the wall? Or drill a hole in the handle and use a key ring to hang them from a nail?

AlwaysLatte · 23/01/2021 00:22

We have this, it's great as it fits 4 electric toothbrushes

Oh and for the squeamish the middle bit comes out and we just stick it all in the dishwasher.
