Types of bathroom toothbrush holders
Looking to replace your old bathroom toothbrush holders? With so many shape, color, and materials available these days, it may be tough to decide the kind that you want. Let’s take a look at the main types that are available.
Chrome toothbrush holder
Stylish, smooth, and trendy. Even better than the looks is the fact that chrome keeps bacteria to the surface and is very easy to clean. They are great for modern bathrooms that has other metallic designs for bathroom accessories.
Ceramic toothbrush holder
Another hard surface which helps to keep the holder sanitary and clean. White is a classic look that is suitable for almost any bathroom settings; from minimalist to more elaborate designs, you can’t really go wrong. Ceramic holders also come in many varieties of colors and shapes, from the typical four hole design to all sorts of animals.
Suction toothbrush holder
With suction cups at the back, these are very mobile and has the benefit without being permanently stuck to the wall. One innovative and appealing product is the Flipper toothbrush holder. Their holders are fun to use due to its patented mechanism that “opens and closes with the stroke of the toothbrush”. There are an assortment of cute animals to choose from and the bright, colorful designs are great for kids. Many users find brushing become less of a struggle with their kids and that’s invaluable habit to develop at an early age. For some, they even use it to keep their toothbrushes out of reach from their 2-year olds! Overall, an attractive product that’s definitely worth checking out, especially for children.
Wall mounted toothbrush holder
They are not much different from the chrome or ceramic holders, except they are mounted on the wall. If you like your things to be stationary, then they are definitely for you. One downside to these is they can be difficult to clean, especially ones with deep holes. In any case though, they are still a good choice provided you know how to install them.
Travel toothbrush holder
Usually lighter to carry around and have simpler shapes, these holders are for those who spend a lot time in hotels. They are usually plastic that protects at least the bristle, but I have seen disposable ones made of paper as well. Personally, I prefer my holder to encapsulate the entire toothbrush so the handle is not exposed. In a pinch, you can use the cup or tumbler lying around for most hotels. The Flipper toothbrush holder mentioned above can also double as a holder for travelling.
These are just the main types that you can find in stores, but they are are not everything. Each category mentioned contains numerous creative designs and in addition, there are still countless varieties with tumbler, glass, oil rubbed bronze, or even bamboo! If you are tired of your plain old boring toothbrush holder, you can start exploring the many available products today. Happy shopping.
