Fresh Takes on Travel Must-Haves

LOS ANGELES -- Gadget Grrl brings you an updated toothbrush and alarm clock that are set to make business travel more efficient. For starters, you don't have to carry a separate tube of toothpaste with this brush, because the paste fits right into the handle. Also, this alarm clock, with its incredibly new and unique design, has functionality that is far above its peers. It's a ring that slips over the finger and vibrates when it is time to wake up -- great for people who hate the loud blaring sounds of a typical clock.

OK, before you start thinking, "Hey it's just a toothbrush," take a closer look at this new way to brush with the Ohso Travel Toothbrush. For starters, you don't have to carry a separate tube of toothpaste, because it fits into the brush.

To use the Ohso, just screw in your favorite tube of toothpaste, (you need to squeeze out any excess air from the tube before using it). Once attached, a vacuum is created to pull toothpaste into the handle. You just keep turning until the brush is loaded.

After using the toothbrush, you replace the watertight cap and go. No more searching for or loosing the toothpaste in the middle of the night, or wrestling with the cap early in the morning.

As far as I'm concerned, anything that will make business travel more efficient is worth a try. The Ohso comes with an additional brushhead, and for $7.95 you can pick up another three for the road.
