Can You Take An Electric Toothbrush On A Plane?
Although one of the first items you add to your packing list is probably your toothbrush, it's probably also the one you put the least amount of thought into. It's convenient for manual toothbrush users to just grab and go, but a little more preparation is required for those of us who prefer the cleaning power of electric toothbrushes.
Since electric toothbrushes are able to clean more plaque than manual alternatives, once you start using one, there is typically no going back. When travelling, it also becomes important. In the past, this meant that to pack your hefty electric toothbrush and all its attachments, you had to carve out a big chunk of room in your luggage, but nowadays, there are plenty of compact choices made specifically for travellers.
