Brush

By: Spencer Sloan

A self-rightening tooth brush. just imagine, No more bowl, holder, stand for your toothbrush. You put it down on the counter it stands up. you knock if of the sink it hits the ground and stands up. Clean. It can stand in your medicine cabinet or on the sink It's safe and clean. It has a weighted, heavy ball in the base and a rounded end. It's made of a matte rubber or something else with a bit of tack to it. It looks like a regular toothbrush but one end is bigger and round. The head piece could be detachable, replaceable, you keep the base = less waste. It's no large hadron collider, but if you go to any drug store, any grocery store, it doesn't exist.

                    I think this is great and might want to order 4 of them. First, can you reassure me that the product contains no lead paint or other toxins in its construction? A serious consideration around toothbrushes.

                          @Sandra...Oh! Thanks for reminding me about my dentist. I tried to talk the entire office into joining Quirky and ordering these in bulk to hand out to customers, but they "brushed" me off! I hope these will be shipping before my next checkup. I want to give them one anyway. If they still don't "bite" I may just take my Quirky social sales and my mouth to another competitor.
                          5 more to go!

                            Okay... I'm done with this shopping! Bought 4 more to be used for holiday stocking stuffers next xmas. Someone else needs to step up and buy the remainder. Thanks for your support!

                              @Michael - Brush the teeth on my jumpy dogs -- not a chance! My little Boston is so skittish, giving Duke his monthly flea treatment is sometimes an issue. I've ordered 4. I may order 2 more for my dentist. Maybe I'll get him to stock up on them as the dental cleaning giveaway because the Sensodyne toothpaste that he gives away isn't cutting it. I won't even use that stuff for travel. : )

                                @Sandra... I ordered 16 during the quirky friday sale. Didn't you buy one for your dogs? ... or don't they mind sharing your brush? :-)

                                  I bought 4 to supply my family. It's like a race to win once there are 30 or so to go! Why don't you buy the remaining 22 (Cavada). After all, you'll be wealthy soon from your Space Bar! : )

                                    Hey, we're getting down to the wire! Anyone have $261 to invest in the last 29? It will buy you nearly 1.5% of influence!

                                      I agree with Jessica below -- they should be sold individually and as a set. You can offer a slight discount when selling as a set. Hoping children's toothbrush will work in this -- my kids will get a kick out of it.

                                        I think you should change the the packaging and sell a family set ... it is very expensive if yur going to buy every one in your family one and would be nice to be able to buy a set of 2 and a set of 4 and a set of 6 i think you'll find they will do well in sales

                                          Well this clearly won't be a stocking stuffer, but we still need to move it out of presale.
                                          I already ordered 16. I think kids and their parents will love them. Wouldn't it be cool to hand them out and point to your name on the box? ...Saying "look, I helped design this just for you!"
                                          Com'on gang! Let's do this!
