The electric toothbrush seems to have the problems of a power supply and charging system well solved and one end of it is conveniently shaped and could be discreetly concealed in terms of a second use. I doubt the companies who make these two products would join forces but the consumer demand for both appears to remain strong.-- dhousman, Oct 26 2004 Search Google http://www.google.c...toothbrush+vibratorNothing new. [contracts, Oct 26 2004] http://www.oralb.com/hummingbird "Hummingbird reaches areas your toothbrush cant" [jutta, Oct 27 2004] Which end do you hold when you're brushing? This is disgusting. [-] May as well be an idea for reusable toilet paper.-- contracts, Oct 26 2004 I wholeheartedly agree with [contracts]. Cheers, [contracts].-- Machiavelli, Oct 26 2004 This is... odd...

Oh - and what [bristolz] said.-- Fishrat, Oct 27 2004 Urgh.-- david_scothern, Oct 27 2004 oh jutta, hilarious...-- po, Oct 27 2004 "Which end do you hold when you're brushing? This is disgusting.

Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing inherently unhygenic about one's genitals. It may be baked, but I don't see it as disgusting.-- 5th Earth, Oct 28 2004 The phrase "Whatever turns you on" seems unususally appropriate here.-- wagster, Oct 28 2004 //Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing inherently unhygenic about one's genitals.
