Whenever I go out of town I usually just buy a new one to keep off those grody germs, now I don't have to because this kick butt storage container actually kills the germs

what a gadget! not only you have a great well designed device to carry yout r toothbrush but it sanitizes it. very smart!

We put a toothbrush in our mouths twice a day (or more) (or less, tsk tsk!) but how often do we stop and consider how clean it is?

Violight uses UV light technology (activated once you close the lid of your toothbrush travel case) and in 6 minutes, your toothbrush is clean, sanitized and ready for your next use!

This prevents your toothbrush from contamination while you travel. The battery powered case has a sanitation cycle that happens once you put your toothbrush in the case. (via magellans.co.uk)

This device uses UV technology to sanitize your toothbrush is 7 minutes time. I can't image the volume of germs and bacteria that collect on toothbrushes especially when traveling and bringing them in and out of different environments. This runs on just two AA batteries and has an automatic shut-off.

Time Magazine rated this one of the coolest inventions of the year, heck if it is good enough for them then it is good enough for me!

Simply place your toothbrush in the sanitizer and close it. The device will start working immediately and will shut off automatically after 7 minutes, leaving a clean, sanitized toothbrush for the next use. Great for hotels, airplanes, health clubs, or anytime you need shiny clean teeth on the go!

It's already unsanitary enough that your just rinse your toothbrush off when you're at home, but when you're traveling, you expose your toothbrush to everyone else's germs in the cab, plane, hotel room. You can get away with not zapping your own germs when you're not at home, but when you're traveling, take the VioLight Toothbrush Sanitizer that's made to travel.

Looking at the before and after "pictures" of the germs this product scares the heck out of me. That very small percentage of germs that remain on your brush remain for a reason, why though? Surely we learned something about the over use of antibiotics right?

In our mouth we have good and bad bacteria. What bacteria is this product killing? What bacteria is it leaving that was not killed? If it is bad bacteria that is left does it become resistant over time to this treatment and grow stronger?

Good oral hygiene is not about having a "sterile" tooth brush but about brushing your teeth properly and regularly plus flossing. I see this gadget as something that could only cause harm to the mouth.

Seriously folks if you are not sharing your tooth brush with others then let your good bacteria have a fighting chance against the bad!!!!!
