This Toothbrush Wobbles, But It Won’t Fall Down.

Guess what everyone I know is getting for Christmas this year.

Why, a DEWS toothbrush, designed by  Ryan and Harc, of course. It’s weighted at the bottom, like a Weeble or a Bozo the Clown inflatable punching bag, so that it will never let the bristles go below the surface. This does three things, I imagine: 1) Keeps everything nice and sanitary, 2) adds some style and weight to otherwise flimsy, boring toothbrushes, and 3) makes it into a toy and is therefore awesome.

I mean, look at these things. They’re toothbrushes, and yet totally dripping with personality.  

“DEWS does away with concerns about whether your toothbrush is resting on an unhygienic surface. This upstanding toothbrush makes use of a weight at the end of its rounded handle to create a centre of gravity at the handle base. When the toothbrush is set down, it will sway momentarily until it reaches a position of balance – much like a tumble doll.”
