One of the main items that you will need on your two-week summer break is a toothbrush. But what type of toothbrush will you take? I will tell you which one I take, but here are the options.

The obvious one to consider is the travel-sized toothbrush and with it a small tube of toothpaste. You can also look at taking with you toothpaste tablets to save space.

Manual Or Electric Is The Choice You Have To Make

If you go for a manual toothbrush they are more affordable, lightweight, and require no batteries or charging. They are good for short trips or if you prefer a simple routine.

An electric toothbrush provides a deeper clean and can be more effective for removing plaque. However, they are bulkier, require batteries or charging, and can be more expensive. If you are going to countries with different electric plugs, they can cause a problem.

You can also get foldable toothbrushes which take up less space, and ones that are labelled as special for travelling. These have a built-in case which protects the brush head and keeps it clean.

So I prefer the manual toothbrush. It’s cheap and cheerful, and I don’t need to worry about finding electrical points. But that’s me.
