I use an OralB electric toothbrush that came with a brush cover and I am glad it did because, I am wary of creepy crawlies that may be all over it when it is not in use. Also, I was informed (by some experiments) that fecal matter, invisible to the naked eyes, may get into toothbrushes that share the same space as the toilet. It happens when one flushes the toilet without keeping the lid close. Apparently, vapors containing fecal matter get airborne, spreading as far as 9 feet. Holy shit. They are not serious that we have been shoving shit into our mouths, are they? Continue reading Rouse Case: A Toothbrush And Case That’s Anti-Bacterial And Sustainable

Ring Soap That Won’t Turn Into Gooey Mess Has Made A Come Back
For those who still use soap to bathe, we applaud your dedication in putting up with the eventual gooey mess that’s inevitable when the soap is soaked in moisture. It happens and on most part, humans have learned to accept this eventuality, but not for German brand Authentics whom, years ago, tasked designer Sebastian Bergne to design a soap dish that will counter this age-old problem. However, instead of designing a soap dish, Sebastian proposed an entirely new soap, which was called Ring Soap. No. The soap is not water resistant; that would be crazy cos’ you probably won’t be able to bathe with it, but as the product name implies, it is a soap shaped in a ring form which allows it be hanged on the accompanying peg and voila! it will never soak in water and so therefore, no more semi-dissolving mess, or at least not as quick.

Brushield Toothbrush Case Keeps Poop Out Of Your Toothbrush And Kill Germs Too
Toothbrush is an everyday object we use at least twice a day and we pretty much don’t give a damn about it until it is time change. But according to some studies, we really should give a damn about these bristle-packed oral hygiene tool. Why? Because it shares the same space as the god damn toilet, that’s why. According to a study, there’s a 60 percent chance of your toothbrush is covered in fecal matter (yes, that’s poop!) – thanks to the act of flushing each time a person is done with dropping the kids at the pool. The flushing ejects droplets and vapors naked to human eyes onto the floor and in the air, with the latter eventually reaching the tool that we put into our mouth. That’s one good reason to keep the lid of the toilet close when flushing and also, keep your toothbrush’s bristle encased in toothbrush case such as Brushield.

Sustainable Toothbrush Comes with Option to Track Your Oral Activities
Changing toothbrush on regular basis is a first world problem and apparently, someone have had enough of this wastage which, according to Goodwell & Company, would see a person dumping 12 pounds of plastic toothbrushes in his or her lifetime and the population Earth on the whole can generate as much as 80 billion pounds of plastic waste. We don’t quite agree though, cos’ it is after all, a first world problem which means not all 7.1 billion folks on planet Earth shares the same frivolous treatment when it comes to toothbrush, if they even brushes at all. Still, we thought the proposed open-source toothbrush by Goodwell & Company could be a serious game changer in the oral care segment. The outfit views disposal oral care product like the toothbrush as “planned obsolescence” and has a grand plan to halt it, and the open-source toothbrush is their weapon of choice which happens to look pretty awesome too.
