This idea has been brought to life

Henry met with maker Brian and discussed his idea in more detail.

“The idea was a toothbrush with built in toothpaste. During the client meeting we talked about how it should feel. Not too bulky. One idea was to use the pump type toothpaste dispenser. However, I struggled to see how to get it to the toothbrush and still be functional. The solution suggested itself as using a syringe fitted into the bottom of a electric toothbrush that had its innards removed, and a liquid path made by drilling through the centre of toothbrush neck and a few holes to let it out in the bristles.

This result is a toothbrush that is usable, and self-toothpastable (a new word perhaps?).”
