Good dental care is as important on your travels as it is at home, but who says it can't be glamorous? The Swiss-made Curaprox Travel Toothbrush Kit is compact, stylish, and exceptionally effective.

With ultra-soft bristles and a brush head that lasts four times longer than standard nylon, it’s a sustainable solution for your pearly whites. I’m actually obsessed with this brand, and will probably be exclusively buying these toothbrushes both for my home and my suitcase for life.
