Types of toothbrush glasses and tips for choosing them
All the functions of the bathroom furniture are aimed at ensuring maximum comfort during showering and other procedures. The same goes for accessories. In the sanitary room, there is a place for toiletries, which also include glasses for storing individual toothbrushes.
Peculiarities
Toothbrush Day is celebrated every year at the end of June. According to historians, for the first time the idea of attaching a bunch of boar bristles to a bamboo stick came to a healer from China. Modifying, this product has survived to this day in its modern form. Later, electric versions with attachments replaced the conventional models.
According to dentists, custom covers are the ideal place to store toothbrushes. Most often, toothbrushes are in individual glasses. Such products are designed to perform certain functions:
- help to conveniently arrange objects;
- complement the bathroom design;
- prevent the spread of bacteria, mold;
- reduce the risk of transmission of dental diseases between other family members.
A glass that is beautiful in shape or design will complement the interior, giving it a complete look. Having these items will help keep the accessories clean and prevent them from falling.
Glasses of different types and shapes are ideal storage places. These accessories can be different in the type of fastening, shape, materials. Among the abundance of such dishes, you can choose the following models:
- in the form of an oval or circle;
- rectangular options;
- cups with or without lids;
- accessories with applique, drawings or other decor.
Such products in the bathroom will help to competently organize the storage of individual accessories intended for the care of the oral cavity.
If the through supports allow moisture to immediately drain from the surface of the brushes, then moisture will gradually accumulate in glasses with a bottom. This negatively affects both the appearance of the products and the dental appliances themselves, since excessive moisture leads to the appearance of mold inside the dishes.
A good option for storing toothbrushes is a 3-in-1 dispenser, which is a holder for electric and conventional brushes with ultraviolet disinfection and a mechanical dispenser for toothpaste.
Description of species
Bathroom accessories can be hanging or tabletop. The most commonly used materials are ceramics, tempered glass, artificial stone, metal and plastic. Children's option - these are models with a funny pattern, they will help to quickly accustom the baby to daily exercise.
Depending on your desire, you can choose:
- suspended version;
- wall;
- desktop;
- customized products.
In addition, you can purchase suction cups, models with a lid, containers for children.
Tabletop options can be placed on a countertop, sink or shelf. Their advantage is the ability to move to another place during cleaning. Such a product will look good in spacious rooms with furniture. The most laconic execution of designs is most often an ordinary cup or glass, where toothbrushes are inserted.
Considering that it is not very hygienic to store brushes in such containers without a case, it is better to choose glasses with a lid for this option.
If there is not enough space on the shelves in the bathroom, you can solve the problem of free space using wall glasses with a holder on screws or suction cups. It should be remembered that the suction cups will only hold well on tiles with a smooth texture, they can withstand a small weight.
Suspended models are more suitable for small rooms. Placement on the wall will allow you to comfortably carry out hygienic manipulations. You can fix them with self-tapping screws, which will guarantee high reliability of the fastening, or you can fix them with suction cups.
Considering that rubber suction cups usually do not hold heavy products very tightly, it is better to store only toothbrushes in a glass without a tube of paste.
If we consider the models taking into account the convenience of caring for them, then in this case it is worth paying attention to the varieties with a holder. The wall holder allows you to create additional space in the sanitary room. The advantage of this type is that the brushes do not touch each other, remaining completely clean. Wall mounts can be of a wide variety of designs - from classic models for adults to options with favorite cartoon characters for kids.
Individual containers can be called the most hygienic option. The disadvantage of such containers is that they will take up a lot of space. This option is more suitable for a lonely person, young people in a hostel or people living in a communal apartment.
Materials (edit)
When choosing a material for glasses, take into account the design of the room, its style. Bathroom products can be made from a wide variety of materials. The following types of glasses are especially popular.
- Ceramic... Such vessels can be of different shapes. Most often these are painted models with an intricate ornament or pattern. Ceramic accessories will be an ideal option for rooms made in ethnic style. Ceramics looks very interesting, such products are not only functional, but also quite aesthetic. The disadvantage of ceramics is fragility.
- Glass... Many people prefer vessels made of tempered or fireproof glass, the thickness of which is more than 5 mm.Glass glasses can be corrugated and smooth, transparent and frosted, tinted.
- Wooden... Wooden containers are less suitable for a sanitary room, as they do not tolerate high humidity and temperature changes. Coating products with varnish will extend the service life of such a vessel.
- Plastic... Plastic products are considered the most common model. They have an affordable price, while looking very organic. Considering that dentists recommend changing the container from under the toothbrushes every 3-4 months, this option can be considered the most optimal.
The color of the products can be very different, but more often you can see black, white, silver or golden glasses, as well as models of non-standard colors.
- Metallic... Chromed cups or coasters made of similar material look very stylish and elegant. Chrome will look especially interesting in high-tech rooms. A tabletop matte plastic cup in a chrome-plated steel cup holder or a double suction cup set can decorate any room.
It is not necessary to purchase toothbrush cups in the store, you can make such products yourself. It is enough to glue bright stones, rhinestones or even buttons to a container of suitable shape and size to get an original product. Models made using decoupage technique or containers with shells and pearls look great.
Secrets of choice
Glasses for brushes are a must in every family, so when choosing such products you need to be guided for attractive designs, suitable materials, as well as their size and shape.
Choosing a glass for a brush in the bathroom, it is desirable that all additional accessories in the form of a soap dish, coasters are made of the same material. Such sets will look very beautiful, while they will organically fit into the design of the room. By choosing a set in the same style, you can quickly make the room neat and interesting.
