Oral Hygiene is Serious Business

There is a vacation horror story that we’ve caught wind of and it goes something like this:

A couple friends were vacationing somewhere in Europe.  They had a hotel room where they set up shop for a few days.  They weren’t all too careful in hiding that they were decently well-off foreigners.  One night, they came back to their room to find that they had been robbed.  Their money and valuables had been taken, but luckily their camera with all their vacation photos had been left behind – at least they could salvage that much.  They collected themselves and were, obviously, more careful for the rest of their vacation.  Soon, they returned home.  They told their story to their friends about how their room had been ransacked and their things stolen.  They dropped off their film to get developed (this is an older story, before digital cameras flourished) and when they got the pictures back, they were shocked to see that the thieves had taken pictures of themselves!  Unfortunately for the vacationing friends, the thieves were in the photos using their toothbrushes as cleansing utensils for their posteriors.  It goes without saying that they were mortified and utterly disgusted.

Luckily, Dominic Wilcox has designed the secure aluminum toothbrush case that makes your dental tool safe to travel with and easy to take with your with its comfortable handle.  Offering peace of mind for one of your most intimate everyday instruments, the story above does provide a case to at least consider such a heavy duty protector for a $2 stick of plastic.  Of course, since the case doesn’t have a lock, you might as well wrap your toothbrush in a plastic baggy and take it with you when you go out, not to mention that it could also be your protection should you follow the proper prison shank techniques.
