how clean is your toothbrush?
i don't know about you but sometimes i feel icky thinking about germs in the bathroom crawling around my toothbrush. which was why i found this thing i saw in target (i think) interesting!
"Zapi uses germicidal ultraviolet light to kill 99.9% of germs on your toothbrush in just minutes. Zapi comes in two hot new colors, purple and pink, plus white, blue, and orange to match your personal style. All of them come with a free toothbrush, but they also work with your favorite manual brush or electric head. Your toothbrush is germ free and safely stored inside Zapi ready for the next time you brush."
zapi is a favorite among celebrities. i know for a fact that both ellen and oprah love these thingies! all you have to do is to insert your favorite toothbrush, press the button and zapi will clean it quickly. it turns off automatically, too!
the zapi costs $29.95. but it's not too high a price to pray to have germ-free toothbrushes, right? they also have one for travelers. now that's something that interests me. i hate storing my toothbrush in those plastic containers because after a while, there's some kind of build up around the head area.
"The Violight Personal/Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer uses our germ-eliminating UV technology in a sleek, go-anywhere package. The germicidal light activates as soon as you close the lid, and in 6 minutes your toothbrush is sanitized and safely stored until you're ready to brush again. The Violight Personal/Travel Sanitizer has a deluxe metallic finish, long battery life, and includes a removable drip-tray for easy cleaning. Perfect for you or as a gift of health --- whether it stays at home, goes to the office, gym, or on a trip."
the portable zapi is also $29.95 and also includes a free toothbrush. there are more products on the zapi website but these two are my top picks.
anyone here who has a zapi?
First time I'm seeing something like this! But this definately sounds like a great idea, I'd love to have one. Hacen't seen them here though... I guess it'll be some time till we have them available on the market too
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a cool and techy gadget!! I'd love to have this in my bathroom sink!
ReplyDeletejulia. they have it in the philippines, too. a different brand though. im sure it won't be long before they have it in russia :)
ReplyDeletemanila girl. i wanna have the travel one! so useful!
You know, I never really thought about sanitizing my toothbrushes, but it actually makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeletetreacle. i have to get one for myself, too!
ReplyDeleteOh I can definitely use one! The other day I saw a cockroach in the bathroom and freaked out!!
ReplyDeletei know what you mean! they get molds after a while. yuck. hahaha.
ReplyDeletegrabe, the things and gadgets people come up with! ;)
Great idea, but I have never seen that kind of invention in our back of the hill country...
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing though, and thanks for sharing with us.
Your comment on Abigail's dress being see through, maybe she wears that on purpose.
Have a super day.

sher. and you dont know if it crawled over your toothbrush! gross right?
ReplyDeletekoryn. especially those travel toothbrush cases!
colin. now that i zoomed in on the picture.. maybe she did. but it would've been better if she wore something the same color as her skin though.
ReplyDeleteOh ... I'm so going to get this!
ReplyDeletenina. i think they have one in beauty bar. not sure if its the same brand though :)

ReplyDeleteit's my first time to know about zapi here..i don't know if it's available here...love to own one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic product. I shall investigate further. Dental hygene is terribly important for ones overall health - thats what my dentist told me last time I went. I go every 6 months even though I am terrified of the whole thing. xx
ReplyDeletemommy judy. they have those eggs that could hold two or more toothbrushes. but the travel ones hold only 1. and yes! i've seen some in beauty bar (though i'm not sure if the brand's zapi) :)
ReplyDeletemichelle. no problem!
genejosh. no problem! where are you at? they might have zapi there or a product similar to it :)
ReplyDeletenorthwest london girl. oooh, share your sentiments there :))
Ohmigosh this looks so cool - I want the pink!! :)
