Even if you rinse your toothbrush, it's still full of germs!

Sure, you’re the only one that uses your toothbrush, (well usually) - but it still gathers germs. The folks at Verilux say their CleanWave UV-C Portable Toothbrush Sanitizer is a safe and easy way to sanitize your toothbrush. Germs and bacteria thrive in the moist environment of a toothbrush, and live long after you’re finished brushing and rinsing your toothbrush. A powerful UV-C light safely eliminates germs from your toothbrush that are the common cause of colds, the flu and infections. It’s so easy: just place your toothbrush inside the sanitizer and snap it closed. The sanitizing cycle begins automatically. The 6-minute built-in-timer provides a complete sanitizing cycle. I timed mine and I got a little bit of extra sanitizing at 6 minutes, 19 seconds. Now when it’s time to brush your teeth again, your toothbrush will have been sanitized and safe to use. The sturdy case is perfect for traveling. I called the company and asked if the sanitizer killed H1N1 (swine flu) germs, and the spokesperson said: “absolutely”. The CleanWave is powered by 2-AA batteries, which are not included. (Note: As a safety precaution, the automatic UV-C light shuts-off if opened during operation.) Dimensions: 8.58” H x 2.17” W x 1.18” D •Weight: 5.3 oz / Under $20.
