Cleanliness, Cuteness, and Portability(ness)
My childhood home was an older house. It creaked at night and had bad plumbing. Worst of all, it was home to a legion of cockroaches. I was afraid of the dark, like a lot of children, but unlike most children, I wasn’t worried about ghosts or monsters. I was afraid of the dark because I knew that when the lights were off, the roaches crawled out of hiding.
I have a terrible childhood memory of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night with a flashlight and seeing small roaches crawling on my toothbrush. (Hi. Still reading? It gets better, trust me.) I was probably about 8-years-old and I never told anyone (kids are a lot of things, but they aren’t logical), but the thought of it tormented me.
What I needed was a Flipper toothbrush holder. The Flipper toothbrush holder is a step above those little cases that require you to jam the bristles of the toothbrush through a too-small hole.
The Flipper can be attached to a smooth surface using suction cups. This is useful for travel because it can be a toothbrush cover that doubles as a storage solution once you reach your destination.
Another neat product from Flipper is Razor One, a storage solution for razors.
I sometimes worry about Jojo finding a razor and deciding to pretend to shave, but with Razor One, I can put the razor high out of his reach.
Flipper is giving one Mom Most Traveled reader one Flipper in the Bear design (retail value $6.99) and a Razor One in Flamboyant Pink (retail value $3.99)!
To enter, visit the Flipper website and comment here with your favorite Flipper design not mentioned in this review.
Contest will close May 29, 9pm CST.
One winner will be chosen via Random Number Generator.
