The Steripod is the perfect solution to grimy, exposed toothbrushes. The clip attached to the head of the brush protects it from the many types of airborne contaminants and cross contamination from other brushes. It fits manual and electric toothbrushes and can keep the toothbrush germ-free for up to three months. As flu season approaches, the season to take extra precautions against pathogenic bacteria also approaches. Steripod technology involves the application of thymol, a chemical found in most mouthwashes and oral antiseptics. The key to a clean brush is the absence of moisture; moisture provides the appropriate environment for bacteria and other contaminants to survive. The assorted color options keep you from mistaking someone else’s toothbrush for your own while allowing you to express yourself. Steripods were designed and developed by doctors and independently tested so that they could land in a store most convenient to you such as Bed Bath and Beyond, Target and Amazon. It’s also affordable costing you $5.99 for a pack of two or $19.99 for a family pack, which includes eight pods. Sign up at GetSteripod.com to receive updates regarding new offers and designs.
