We all know how toothbrushes are prime locations for bacteria to breed and multiply like bunnies, which is why Rakuten of Japan has developed a UV sterilizer that is capable of giving your toothbrush the perfect cleanup within four minutes. All you need to do is insert your toothbrush into the device, close the lid, and wait for a few minutes. The UV Toothbrush Sterilizer is made from ABS plastic, measuring 23.5cm x 15cm x 10cm and weighing a rather hefty 515 grams. You can pick one up the next time you drop by Japan for approximately $45. At least you can brush your teeth in peace now, knowing that the only bacteria living on it will be those from your mouth.
