How to shop for the perfect toothbrush holder

Shopping for a good toothbrush holder shouldn’t be terribly difficult if you know how to do it right. Of course you wouldn’t think by looking at a standard everyday toothbrush holder that you’d really need to actually know a thing or three about how to shop for one. Actually, this is a pretty important topic that may mean something to you and your family’s health. In this article I’m going to talk about what to look for in a holder, as well as where you should consider buying one to really minimize the amount you’re spending out of your pocket. Let’s start off with what to look for, shall we?

First of all, you need to find a holder that’s not going to hold a bunch of bacteria. That means anything that’s made out of any kind of porous material is going to be right out. Naturally you’re probably not going to leave the bristles of the brush touching this surface, but of course you never know what can happen. The stuff the grows in bathrooms on the walls, floors, and fixtures can be pretty nasty. You can get all sorts of germs and mildew growing there that may cause harm to your family if you’re not watching carefully. This means that you shouldn’t get any kind of toothbrush holder that’s made out of say, rubber or wood. Both of these materials have slight pores in them and can trap and allow that bacteria to breed. You want to stick to materials like metal, stone, ceramic, etc. Things that are hard and shiny on the surface are especially good at keeping those germs away. Most of all, you want to ensure that whatever holder you get, you shouldn’t allow the toothbrush bristles to touch each other.

This may not strike people as a big deal as long as everyone’s related, but there are still germs that can be passed around from person to person. If, for example, one person in your family has the cold, that virus can be spread through two toothbrushes touching each other. Interesting, huh?

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, you should look into a good place for these online: Amazon is of course a great start. They actually sell a wide variety of toothbrush holders in all sorts of cool shapes and sizes for children. For adults, there are a number of holders that are sold that are stylish and can be easily cleaned. Check them out.

Bathroom toothbrush holders can be stylish

If you thought anything related to bathroom toothbrush holders would be old and boring, think again. There are plenty of reasons to go for good bathroom toothbrush holders, and one of which is that you can get some really cool designs for not much money. Want a holder in the shape of a giraffe? Sure, they have those. Want one in the shape of a space ship for your children? Absolutely you can find those as well. There are so many great shapes and sizes for kids that it’s difficult sometimes to get your kids to pick just one. Trust me, it’s even worse when you have multiple kids! They all want their own cool accessories!

Of course adults also want holders that will work for them. People in their twenties and thirties and beyond aren’t interested in animal or cartoon shaped toothbrush holders, are they? Well, have no fear: There are plenty that will go well with your bathrooms as well, even if they aren’t in the shape of Dumbo. You can find many metal and chrome toothbrush holders to fit your needs if you’re looking for more of a modern look. Many more people these days are going to this over ceramic due to how easy it is to clean, as well as how nice it looks. If you’re going for more of a “futuristic” look, these chrome and metal types will also look pretty nice. Trendiness in the 21st century usually goes hand and hand with a clean, spartan look. Metal holders and accessories will do that just nicely.

If you are looking for ceramic, there is a large assortment of holders that are more aligned with what grown-ups like. These ceramic ones made for adults are almost always wall-mounted, though there are still some around that are able to be set on the bathroom sink instead. The wall mounted ceramic holders do go for a little bit more than the metal types, however.

You can find these anywhere between $20-$30 depending on the style you get. The more elaborate the style, the more expensive.

As usual, you can find any of these good bathroom toothbrush holders in stores just about anywhere. Bed, Bath, and Beyond is always a popular choice. Target is fine as well, or you can order them online. Either way is fine. I would recommend online due to the sheer amount of selection, though. Good luck.
