Disposable Toothbrush With Toothpaste

Disposable Toothbrush With Toothpaste

In this world of convenient and disposable everything, it's not surprising that the concept of a disposable toothbrush with toothpaste is a hit with travelers. This product can be pretty handy for controlling bad breath, whether you're traveling extensively or just taking a quick trip.

What Is a Disposable Toothbrush?

A disposable toothbrush is usually small, inexpensive and used only one time before it's discarded. Usually, it comes "pre-pasted" with the toothpaste already on the toothbrush in smaller quantities and often does not require any water.

When to Use One

You can probably think of several occasions when members of your family would have a reason to use a disposable toothbrush with toothpaste. These can include:
Long days in the office or at school, when you need to maintain fresh breath but don't want the inconvenience of carrying a whole kit of toiletries around with you;
Overnight stays, such as pajama parties for the kids or business trips;
Business lunches, followed by lengthy discussions that would benefit from fresh breath and no food stuck in your teeth; and
Toothbrushing three times per day that most dentists now recommend to everyone and especially for individuals with braces or other orthodontic appliances.

Because they are so easy to carry, you can never go wrong with a disposable toothbrush with toothpaste to keep up your oral hygiene program.

Choosing a Disposable Toothbrush

Disposable, pre-pasted toothbrushes come in all shapes and sizes, however, choosing the right product is a bit more complex.

First, identify your needs for managing bad breath. Are you looking for:
  1. Something small that's easy to carry (which would make size a criterion);
  2. A toothbrush that can be used more than once (which would indicate a non-pre-pasted product); or
  3. A product that offers additional benefits, such as the Colgate® Wisp® mini-brush with a freshening bead and a toothpick at the other end?
You'll also need to determine whether you'll have access to clean water, because a disposable toothbrush with toothpaste capsule that needs moistening will probably also require rinsing afterwards. Others, like the Colgate® Wisp®, don't need rinsing, so there's no requirement for water.

A Good Choice for Travel


Is this product a good option for travelers? It depends on how long you're away. The cost is proportionate to the convenience for one or two uses, particularly in situations like refreshing yourself in-flight on airlines where you aren't allowed to take liquid or toothpaste in your cabin bag. If you're going away for three weeks to Hawaii, however, it could be expensive in the long term. You might want to take one for the day you're actually traveling, and put your regular toothpaste in your luggage for the rest of the trip.

A disposable toothbrush with toothpaste is ideal for use during short trips, when you need to travel light or when you find yourself staying away from home unexpectedly and don't want to purchase a full set of everything you have back home.
