Ultralight Toothbrush

Cheap and convenient

I love these. I hate bringing a good tooth brush only to use it once and throw it out. Cheap and works great.

Idle little toothbrush

This toothbrush paired with the toothpaste tablets on GGG make a good compact combo for dental hygiene.

Cool little item for backpacking

I love it when something useful is ultralight and ultra cheap! One of these little babies is going to be a part of my backpacking kit going forward, albeit, not for its intended purpose. I roam a lot in the desert, so sand getting into my tent zippers and making them stick is a consistent problem. I've had a few experiences with wind storms that kicked up so much sand that the zippers on my tent doors became inoperable by the end of a trip. One of the best solutions, at home or in the field, is to clean and lubricate your tent zippers. This little toothbrush is the perfect size for cleaning zippers. Additionally, I plan to use this in camp for scrubbing stubborn dirt out from under my fingernails, and as a mini dish brush for stuck on food.

Gimmick

Take it from a thru-hiker: Not worth it. You have to stick your fingers into your mouth a little bit to get to your back teeth, which is gross since you have dirty hands. The paddle shaped handle is difficult to hold, and is slippery when it's wet from getting the brush wet. The bristles are very abrasive and it's painful on the gums (and I have good gum health). This is more of a gimmick than anything. Instead take a real toothbrush and chop the handle off to a short but reasonable length.

Ultralight!!
