Is it too early to talk about stocking stuffers? I try to find little practical gifts to use as stocking stuffers throughout the year, so I am going to say it is not too early even though it is only October. I hope to feature various stocking stuffer ideas in the upcoming weeks. Today I want to share with you a new-to me-product that would be a useful and appreciated stocking stuffer: IntelliDent Toothbrush Shields.
Toothbrushes are susceptible to contamination because they are typically kept in the bathroom where there are multiple surface and airborne microbes. Storing a toothbrush in a cup on the bathroom counter, or enclosed in a dark space like a medicine cabinet creates a perfect breeding ground for germs. Not to gross you out too much, but toilets can cause contamination within a six-foot radius! IntelliDent Toothbrush Shields are breathable, quick drying shields that are laboratory tested to be a 99.9% effective barrier against bacteria.
IntelliDent Toothbrush Shields are disposable, and effective for up to seven days.
We tried one out on my son’s electric toothbrush and the fit was perfect. I could see these shields also being really helpful when packing a toothbrush for travel. Anything that helps reduce the chance of illness is a good idea in my book!
IntelliDent also makes Mouth Guard Shields. The idea is the same, except they are sized for dental devices or mouthguards. They would be perfect for k’s Invisalign trays.
IntelliDent products are sold at Walgreens and CVS, so look for them on your next shopping trip. Seriously, tuck some away for stocking stuffers!
I am also pleased to announce that I am hosting a giveaway for you to win three 10 ct. boxes of IntelliDent Toothbrush Shields:
