Awesome suggestion for carrying travel toothbrushes and etc!

I was looking for something to keep my dental tools in in my purse. I have my wax and a travel toothbrush and toothpaste and a little pipecleaner thing and some other thing that is supposed to get between the teeth. And of course my lip balm.

some of these things are SO tiny and I would dig for 20 minutes in my purse just to get my teeth clean.

WELL long story short- get a lipstick case! not one of the hard ones that snaps or closes with magnet- but I have a longer one from Mary Kay that zips. It has a few little elastic holders inside, and the best part is the mirror. It is GREAT to pull out in my office after a snack just to check things.

Mine is black and pink, but guys I'm sure you could find them in solid black (or any other color).

Not sure if anything like this has been suggested. But every time I pull it out I am so proud of myself for finding the perfet solution!

Could you post a picture? I don't even know what a lipstick case would look like. Sounds like a good idea, though, if you want to save space.

These are singles - would hold chapstick, toothpicks, and the "pipe cleaner things" (I call them that too) Small things.

This is a double (think two lipsticks wide) and you might be able to get a TINY toothbrush in there.

I'm sure this isn't exactly what she was talking about (they are kinda small), but it will give you an idea.

I use a pencil case. It holds more stuff....plus a decent size toothbrush and travel toothpaste. Mine is a small canvas zippered bag about 3" round and 8" long.

(

They also make tampon cases. I'm sure they are a great size for small items like this. )

That is a brilliant idea!! I have the same case as you do, JPosey, and I love it

PS: I LOVE Orabase, Meryaten!

as to the tampon case to put ur stuff in, thats what i use

!!! Its perfect, in the restroom at school all the girls laugh at my "little case". It might not be perfect but its good enough for me!! I can fit all of my stuff in there, so i'm happy with it, but i might look into a lipstick case instead, might be a little less imbarrassing pulling it out in a restaurants bathroom LoL, i get some pretty weird stares.
