The world is, unfortunately, a very germy place. And, while traveling enriches the soul with new experiences, there’s no denying that it also subjects you to a plethora of germs, viruses, and bacteria. Not to mention that most of them are hanging out all over your luggage — especially when it comes to your toiletry bag and… your toothbrush, which is why items like the Bril UV-C Toothbrush Sanitizer are essential.

Trust us, you don’t want to know how much nasty stuff is on your travel toothbrush right now — or that your plastic, snap-on toothbrush cover isn’t doing the best job at keeping the germs out. But, leave it to Amazon shoppers to discover the ultimate (and cost-effective) toothbrush-cleansing hack.

Priced at $30, the portable sanitizer doubles as a toothbrush cover with its protective plastic shell and uses UV light technology to sterilize the bristles. According to the brand, the Bril UV-C Toothbrush Sanitizer can fit any sized toothbrush (both electric and manual models) and successfully cleans 99.9 percent of the germs in just three minutes; its enclosed case will keep it safe from whatever else is lurking in your hotel room bathroom.

With its compact 2-inch by 2-inch by 1-inch frame, which resembles the same shape, look, and lightweight feel of an Apple AirPods Pro case, the Bril UV-C Toothbrush Sanitizer easily fits in any toiletry bag or dopp kit. And, the case has a built-in magnet and adhesive strips so you can mount it to your bathroom mirror or wall.

The portable toothbrush sanitizer runs on a rechargeable USB battery (the brand notes that one full charge lasts up to 30 days), and its wireless design keeps your bathroom tidy and makes it easy to travel with. Shoppers have their choice of three sleek colors: white, blue, and navy. These versatile hues will seamlessly match your travel gear and give your toiletries a more polished look. And, when you're not traveling, we think you'll agree that it deserves a spot on your bathroom counter at home.

Another customer was excited to report that they're "no longer getting any unwanted dust on my toothbrush" and that the Bril UV-C Toothbrush Sanitizer "takes no space in my bag." Concluding their review, they commented, "I love this little object that does wonders, and I am worry free." Chiming in, a third shopper added that "one charge lasts forever" and "it's a cover and it cleans, so it's a win-win." One buyer raved, "My toothbrush is cleaner than it ever has been," and another fan shared, "My teeth feel clean [as a whistle] after each use."

It's even earned a stamp of approval from an immunocompromised reviewer, who said, "My toothbrush can reinfect me if I get sick, no matter how well I clean it.
