Rinser Toothbrush

Classic scenario: early morning, just a few minutes to get ready before rushing out to work. In this tiny lapse of time, some acts are recurring day after day: after washing our face with cold water, we take our toothbrush and brush our teeth. When it comes to rinse the toothpaste foam off of our mouth, we have to stress our backs, arching over the washbasin. Such an annoying moment.

Well, for those who would like to solve this problem but think there’s no way to do it, the New Yorker, Amron Experimental, comes at the right moment toc ontradict this idea.
The new creation of this firm, founded and guided by the talented Scoot Amron, a versatile electrical engineer, designer and conceptual artist, which has accustomed users to brand new, innovative, life changing creations, is going to bring some pleasure to the brushing experience: the new Rinser Toothbrush is simply totally different from whatever toothbrush we are used to.
The added value of this invention comes from the escamotage through which the tap water reaches your mouth: a rinse-supporting fountain spout, so simple but so genius. This little masterpiece is composed of a scoop, connected with a spout, both attached to the brush’s handles. The mechanism is simple but amazing: the water scoop and spout are used to shoot up the streaming tap water and create a mouth-rinsing fountain, something almost funny to look at, but incredibly useful for the help brought to users when risnsing, with no need of leaning downwards or closer to the sink.

The peculiarity of this little object is that optimization of usefulness comes side by side with basic but high-quality design: the shape of this toothbrush is simple, white is the prevailing texture, with the removable head (which makes this tool even more longlasting) of a light blue.
This is an incredible mix of utility and luxury, the missing element for a modern mouth. The water upwards fountain is something never seen before, an invention that could redefine the way we wash our mouth every morning. Furthermore, this solution could bring other benefits, such as the end of the need to buy, use, wash or throw away cups: all the users will have to do is basically to aim the fountain where they want the water to be.

Unfortunately, genial creativity comes at a “high” price, at least, far higher than what we are used to for our common basic toothbrushes. However, you can pre-order the toothbrush for November at the presale price of $22 (or the regular retail price of $35).Nevertheless, if the concept is what you’re after, the original prototype comes with a pricetag of $3, 800 – perhaps, this object, for the moment, is just something to admire and desire for a collection.
