No, Seriously! How clean is it? Would it pass a petri dish test? I would hope mine would, but there’s no telling. Germs are EVERYWHERE! Did you know that the simple act of flushing a toilet can contaminate a six foot radius? YUCK!
Many people grab those plastic toothbrush covers from the travel aisle and use those for days, weeks, even months, thinking that they are keeping their toothbrush clean and clear of any floating germs. One thing that they’re probably not thinking about is the moisture being trapped in the plastic and the mold that ends up growing in them. You have to keep these clean and sanitized, and how often have you done that?

I tried it out here at my house for the last few weeks just so I could let you know what I thought about them. While we don’t have a way to scientifically test the germ content, I do know that moist, dark areas are where germs and bacteria like to hang out…. many times mold is a factor in these situations. With the Intellident Toothbrush shield, not only is there not a dark place, but it’s a quick drying solution, allowing your toothbrush to dry faster, giving it less chance to harbor mold.
One of the things I really like about the Intellident Toothbrush shields is the travel factor. The packaging is tiny, taking up less space than a pack of gum. I, personally, have a bad habit of leaving my toothbrush in a cup on the bathroom counter in my hotel room. That makes me wonder what happens when I’m not in my room. With the Intellident Toothbrush Shield, I can put a cover on my toothbrush and put it away in my toiletry case, and not worry about it touching soap, or anything else before I use it again. I will definitely be taking these with me the next time I take a trip anywhere!
I recently posted about Walmart featuring Women owned businesses and products in their stores and online. Well, this product just happens to be made by a Woman owned company! How cool is that!?!
Intellident has also recently been featured in Parent’s magazine!
All in all… I do really like the concept of the Intellident Toothbrush Shield, and at only $2.47 per pack, it’s budget friendly enough to give it a good try, and keep it as something we would use often!
If germs and bacteria area concern for you, you might want to give this a try as well! Head over to your local Walmart store and find it over with all the toothbrushes!
