Not Covering Your Toothbrush Is Way Grosser Than You Think

If you leave your toothbrush out in the open air, then you're probably brushing your teeth with fecal matter each and every day.

It's true — MythBusters proved that toothbrushes left in the vicinity of a toilet are indeed speckled with microscopic fecal matter. Even uncovered toothbrushes nowhere near a potty tested positive for tiny particles of poop. Point being, there's some nasty stuff in all the air we breathe, but if you don't wanna be grossed out the next time you brush your teeth, the solution is simple: Cover your toothbrush.

OXO makes a stylish, stainless steel toothbrush organizer that can store and cover up to four toothbrushes and a full tube of toothpaste at once. It has top and bottom slots to provide ventilation, and a removable divider that keeps brushes in place and prevents them from touching.

This chic, rustproof toothbrush organizer goes well with all types of decor, and it definitely provides some peace of mind. Because no matter how much of a dirty mouth you may have, you don't want to be brushing it with particles of poop.
