Prepasted Toothbrush
Here's another option for toothbrush/toothpaste help when on the road.
After my friend checked in at The Ohio University Inn and Conference Center in Athens, Ohio, she discovered she left her toothbrush at home. The helpful person working at the hotel reception handed her three toothbrushes, each in its own package. "Oh, no," my friend said. "I only need one."
"But these are one-use toothbrushes," he explained. Since she was staying in for three nights, she could have one for each night. Intrigued, she took all three and wondered if these toothbrushes would fall apart after one use. Nope. Turns out, it's a one-use toothbrush only if you want more toothpaste and you don't have any. The ReadyBrush comes with toothpaste already in the bristles. All you need to do is wet the bristles and the toothpaste is activated.
Since my friend did have toothpaste, she saved one of these prepackaged wonders for me. When I joined her yesterday, in time for last sessions of the annual Spring Literary Festival at Ohio University (an event I go to every year), I was happy to receive my own ReadyBrush. I can see how these are handy for a road trip or to slip in a bag as a just in case. I do hate to think that people would buy these by the fistful and litter them across the world in the name of ease.

I love these.I get them from prepastedtoothbrushes.com for like 29.95 for 144 . My kids keep them in thier overnight bags so they never lose their main toothbrush! I have some in our guest bathroom and in my car and at my office. They are recycleable too!!

I recently was in the same predicament on a business trip - and had to give a sales pitch to a small audience after a LONG trip to Chicago. One of my customers gave me a SmileSaver Disposable Toothbrush. Same thing as the Ready Brush. I went online to buy some when I got home and they were cheaper than Ready Brush - 5 pack for $2.29 on the SmileSaver website.

Thanks for the heads up on a cheaper version. How does it hold up? I'm still using my Ready Brush, although I do keep adding toothpaste.

It holds up great for a one-time use brush. It's use and toss vs. the 30 uses from Ready Brush.
I like it

Just started using ReadyBrush, which was given to me by my dentist. WOW! I am a fan of this product. Great for airline travel! I even keep it in my office to freshen up before a meeting. I beg to differ with the person suggesting SmileSaver. SmileSaver has bristles made from plastic.It really can't compare.ReadyBrush has the ADA seal of approval and uses DuPont Tynex nylon bristles which are end -rounded and polished plus it's MADE IN THE USA!!!!!
