Bobble Brush Hits Quirky’s Online Store

quirky’s bobble brush is a tooth brush stand that turns your toothbrush into a “weeble.” No more sink top germs on your bristles – this weighted structure keeps your tooth brush upright, bobbling, and grime free. The tooth brush insert slot at the top of the structure can fit most standard, non-electronic brushes with its friction-fitted, plastic entry point.

No worries germ-o-phobes – bobble’s top and mid sections can be unscrewed and detached for easy cleaning. Feel free to keep one at every sink at home or bring it with you when you travel.

Known issues: -The slider nub, in some cases becomes dislodged from what is supposed to be a one way snap. (due to poor tolerancing)   -In a few cases- The spring mechanism has varying rigidity and can get stuck. Making it quite difficult to slide from side to site, and often causing issue number one (above) This is a huge disappointment to us, and  split sticks factory is taking full responsibility for the poor consistency.     They have already fixed these issues and are in the process of re-producing the Read More...
