Brush & Rinse Toothbrush Brilliantly Simple

By Andrew Liszewski

Normally when we write about a toothbrush it’s a high-tech rechargeable wonder with built-in timers and vibrating plaque-busting features. The Brush & Rinse however has nothing like that but in my opinion is far more useful than even the most expensive brushes on the market. The back of the toothbrush’s head has been specially engineered so that it can effectively redirect water from a faucet to your mouth for easy rinsing. As the designers put it:

At this point, no one should be using disposable cups for rinsing after brushing. No one should have to wash a glass or cup everytime they rinse. No one should have to lap water from their hand. No one should be forced to slurp excess water from toothbrush bristles. Current methods of getting water into our mouths for rinsing after brushing are sloppy, create waste, and place unnecessary stress on our bodies. And, people love water fountains.

The Brush & Rinse toothbrush has a retail price of $3 but doesn’t actually appear to be available for sale on the Amron Experimental website. However you can buy 1 of 27 original working prototypes for only $1,750 each.

    In love with your own hand? Simply use the Brush & Rinse Toothbrush as a toothbrush and forget about the additional functionality that you just got for free – a small price to pay for dry hands.

    “Wow, what’s so hard about cleaning a non-disposable rinsing cup?”

    Forget about how often you actually clean your cup and how much water and soap you waste in doing so…

    What about the clutter of having a cup on your sink or counter ALL THE TIME. This definitley saves space….Great for travel too!

    Who uses water to rinse? That’s what mouthwash is for.

  • ass guy

    Yes great idea, but can you clean your ass with it??

    For all the people who ask why? because they can just use their hands. Why use a car when you can just use your feet? Why use a remote when you could get off your butt and change the channel? Why use the clicker on your key chain when you could just use the key in your hand already?
    This is just one more ‘fad’. It may catch on, it may not.

    Listen, obviously you can use your hands or a cup, but if you buy a toofbrush, why not have this built it?

    Personly, I think its awesome. A really cool novelty.

    concidering 99% of all people leave the water running when they brus anyway, this causes no more harm than using your hands…

    No one should have to lap water from their hand??? No wonder kids today are wussy overprotected little pansies who feel entitled to a pain- and obstacle-free life, with messages like that.

    Hahahaha, I could make a mini fountain out of that! *ermcough*
    I find it pointless for myself considering I just stick my head under the faucet, opening my mouth and getting water that way. No sweat really.
    And what’s wrong with cups? Should we stop drinking out of them or something? o_O puh!

    What’s so hard about riding a horse or walking wherever you need to go? Why bother with running water and plumbing when you can collect rain water and crap in a bucket? I don’t get why people buy tools when you can make everything you need from a bison corpse.

    Anyway, for the “running water” criticism, do you fill your hand up and shut the water off before getting the water to your hands? Are your hands fat enough to seal perfectly or do they leak a little?

    Well apparently you’re supposed to just spit, not rinse, or you wash out the fluoride.

    wankers. Why do you want to argue. If you dont like it, GTFO!

    Simple but clever. No need to redesign the faucet. Just fix the toothbrush!
