OHSO was engineered to be the ultimate travel toothbrush.
Besides being good looking the OHSO Travel Toothbrush is useful
and durable. Look at the great features. Return to our main
page to play our "how to" video.
Self-Dispensing. Toothpaste is stored in the handle for safekeeping.
The window shows you how much paste is in the chamber. Turn
the knob clockwise and paste is dispensed though the rubber
nozzle on the bristle head. Tilt down and paste is delivered
directly to the bristles.
Easily Refillable. Fill it up when it is empty. OHSO uses
suction technology to pull toothpaste into the handle for
no mess refilling.
Use Your Favorite Toothpaste. Fill OHSO with any type of toothpaste
from most tubes. Colgate toothpaste is "plug compatible"
with OHSO. Use the universal adapter if your brand doesn't
fit.
No Mess. OHSO will not leak and is easy to refill without
making a mess. Except for the small nozzle tip, toothpaste
is never exposed to the air. So it should never "gum
up" in the chamber. Take off the bristle head, and OHSO
is easy to clean with warm tap water.
Replaceable Bristles. Replace the bristle heads when they
wear out. Your OHSO should last a good long time by replacing
the bristle heads periodically.

Comments-
- FormFactor & Build quality is excellent
- Passed airlines screening uneventfully for over 50 journeys
- Ergonomics is very good for most of users. A slimmer version
would also be welcome
- Loading toothpaste was good for usability ( A pre-loaded
cartridge system is recommended)
- Dispensing toothpaste was below average for usability
- Cleaning the brush was easy
- Re-capping the brush was easy
- Aesthetics are excellent
Our main observation is that the location of the exit port
for toothpaste caused paste to simply fall off the brush before
being effectively administered in roughly 25% of trials over
a 6 month period.
The exit port for toothpaste was judged to be more effective
if located in the center of the bristle array. This would
cause the exiting paste to be 'supported' by the surrounding
bristles. In the current design, the lack of support around
the paste 'spiral' cause it to fall off- especially when the
brush is held slightly upwards or ever so slightly to the
side.
Special
Cap Design. The water tight cap is held on with an o-ring.
So water leakage is unlikely when you travel. The vented cap
version provides maximum air circulation for bristle drying.
The non-vented cap doubles as a rinsing cup and virtually
guarantees no seepage.

Dr.
Bronner's Soaps

Retail Price- 2oz sampler $2.49
Retail Source- http://www.drbronner.com/
Unlike any you’ve ever used. A combination of organic
extra virgin coconut, olive, jojoba and hemp oils, together
with pure essential oils, creates a unique soap that cleans
effectively without being aggressive and produces a velvety-lather
that leaves the skin silky-smooth and refreshed. |
Comments-
We first discovered Dr.Bronner's soaps at an REI store in
the late 80's. On a lark we bought a 16oz bottle of Peppermint
Liquid Soap and were astonished to find it so refreshing,
clean and efficient to use. In fact, that 16oz bottle (diluted)
lasted nearly eight years! When it finally finished, we replaced
it with another 16oz bottle and by then, we could buy sampler
sizes and we've tried every scent. They are each different
in fragrance but the effectiveness is the same. This is the
natural soap to use for personal hygiene as well as general
'natural path' cleaning. For camping, we dilute one tablespoon
with 8oz of water and use it in a floral sprayer. It's a great
way to reach strategic hygiene targets without wasting water.
Diluted further, it's great for repelling aphids from roses
or washing fruits and vegetables. In an emergency, 1/2 tsp
in 6oz water drank in one go makes a tasty laxative. Ideal
as an all in one, soap, shampoo and cleaner. |

Comments-
LA Fresh Bath Wipes
These are super high quality wipes. Nothing else we have
seen even comes close. These are not baby wipes. They are
several times thicker than a baby wipe or those wet wipes
or wet naps you you get at restaurants. Start at your face
and finish up with your feet. One wipe is sufficient to wipe
one normal sized person.

Bottled sanitizer gels are more cost effective but the flat
form factor of one-time use sealed packets allow for long-term
