I've used the things (can't remember what they're called) that are "cloth" pouches you slip over your finger to "brush" your teeth and then throw away. Not the same and not very good.

They are excellent for when you are going on a very long trip (bus/plane/train etc) so you don't have carry your main toothbrush around with you or risk losing it. “I really don’t see this as being good for travelers”???

K. Katey, you got me there. I hadn't thought about using them only on an occasional basis (impromptu sleepovers). On that basis, the plastic layer might be a bit thinner ;-) Rick O. K.

It's actually amazing how refreshing it is to get to brush your teeth during a 15 hour flight. On some of the nicer (read more expensive) airlines they give you these in the little courtesy pack.

I really dont see this as being good for travelers. The only slight value is usage by guests. I wouldn't start a new business based upon this product. wouldn’t it be better to carry your normal toothbrush around with you rather than a big pack of less effective ones?

Plus, what if it's an impromptu-sleepover? Fingerbrushing is no substitute for a disposable toothbrush tucked in one's purse before a night out.

What's it take to load up a brush and wash it and put it away afterwards? I'm sure that the archeologlists of the future won't have any problems identifying our era among the rock strata. It'll consist of a thick layer of plastic. Rick Oh come on, people! What’s it take to load up a brush and wash it and put it away afterwards?
