The Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer is a device that has been created to help you keep your toothbrush as clean and germ-free as possible, thus prolonging its life and helping you attain a better oral hygiene too. Caring for our dental hygiene has become one of the social instincts we're being born with, at least during the last decades. All sorts of toothpastes with “magic” properties and toothbrushes with the most intricate and uber-special shapes have become widely available in order to satisfy even the most demanding customers. Sharp or rounded edges, smooth or hard, bending or firm necks, manual or electric toothbrushes, and pretty much anything any individual could ever want, they are all there.

Moreover, there is also the problem of germs, which no toothbrush has ever solved: the microbe and bacteria build-up between the hairs of your brush. No matter how sophisticated your toothbrush may be, a gadget like the Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer looks like the only way to keep it and your mouth truly clean.

The toothbrush manufacturers aren't telling you that you should throw your brush away after using it for some months just because they're after your dime: they simply know that some of the germs, bacteria, and other undesirable matters accumulate between its hairs. Furthermore, after some time, you'll be infesting your mouth rather than cleaning it, and, then, only one choice remains: changing the brush.

Now, the Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer offers you a safer and healthier brushing: instead of putting your toothbrush in a glass and leaving it on the sink, you'll place it inside this device and press a single button.

That will activate the strong built-in UV lamp, which will burn for 7 minutes and then automatically shut down, killing pretty much all living beings to have found a shelter between the hairs of the brush. And “pretty much all” refers to a percentage higher than 99.9%, which should make you feel better, especially if you're a hygiene freak.

The Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer is operated with batteries, and comes with a manual toothbrush included. It also holds some electric heads, and will set you back some $29.95. Additionally, you can choose from a  wide color range to suit your own style!
