The Scuba ToothBrush is Like a Hairbrush for Your Teeth
No, these aren’t a tampon holder! Ha…! Fun story, maybe TMI. When I was a kid we used to spend Summers in Europe and my mom would have this really cool case she travelled with. This is way before TSA was a thing but this case had all sorts of bottles, jars, cases, etc…to hold your lotions, potions, etc…I was obsessed with it and I swear it was my gateway drug into storage and organization as to this very day I love little drawers, boxes, jars, and cases for storage! In my kitchen, in my desk drawer, bathroom, you name it everything has to have its own jar, case, or box.
My mom and dad are really old school and discussions about sex, periods, etc…weren’t really a thing in our household. The birds and the bees conversation never really came up and when it was time for my period my mom chaperoned a VHS recording of Growing Up On Broadway. The level of embarrassment my 5th grade self over this was massive (I also recall having second hand embarrassment over Shelley’s eyebrow situation). I got my period in the sixth grade but I was already prepped and prepared for it thanks to Annie aka Shelley Bruce. Thank you Shelley, I’m still traumatized to this day. It’s ok! I grew up just fine if not a little innocent. But I think I was a child of that time as moms are a lot more liberal and forward thinking now.
Anyway, I’m bringing this up because these silly toothbrush cases reminded me of my mom’s travel case. There was a circular tube in it with the many empty bottles, jars, etc…that came in that case and I was quite young at the time perhaps 8 or 9 and I asked her what it was for which she replied, “It’s a toothbrush holder”. It took many, many years to figure out it was a tampon holder. I love you mom and your weird way of avoiding discussing period stuff with me. Lucky for me my mom has gotten better with age as sex and period talk doesn’t squeak her out as much anymore but she apparently wasn’t prepared for it when I was a kid or a teenager so she left dear old Annie to do the job for her! MY PERIOD WILL COME OUT TOMORROW! Yeah, corny joke but I laughed!
This actually isn’t a tampon holder, toothbrush holder, tampon chat though….I wanted to ask you have you ever used a Scuba Toothbrush?
So, every single Harmons within a 100 mile radius has closed around me. We had three total and all three are now closed. My heart is broken! Harmons was my jam! I loved it! Especially in the drugstore makeup heyday! Remember the early to mid 2000s when drugstore releases were HOT! Harmons always had the latest and greatest.
I recently realized I needed a new toothbrush and I panicked. I use the Scuba Toothbrush! I have almost all my life! I can’t remember a time when I used a regular toothbrush! This was a problem because I get my Scuba Toothbrush at Harmons. I looked in Target, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens and was unable to locate one. I finally found them on Amazon. But that was scary for a sec.
I LOVE this thing. If you don’t have sensitive teeth or gums you seriously, need to try it. Yes, it’s massive. But oh my god it gets my teeth so clean. I sound like a commercial I know but I just really love this brush. My boyfriend calls it my hairbrush for teeth but dude, my dentist always tells me how I have absolutely no plaque and I’m giving the Scuba Brush the credit because your girl doesn’t floss after every meal (I do it in the AM and the PM but I’m not exactly great after ever meal over here).
Sure, this isn’t makeup but I’m giving you the heads up on my massive hairbrush for teeth toothbrush over here that will get your teeth super clean. I rock a little for that right? Plus hey, I totally brought back embarrassing growing up vibes for you! Which beauty blog do you know that does all that?
