It is very handy. Dimensions: 5.5cm (short side) x 21cm(big side ) x 2.5cm (wide). If the purse is little, this's a quite big. But I'am very happy with it.

I really like this concept. I use it on a daily basis as well as take it on trips. I like knowing the toothbrush I'm putting in my mouth is germ free. This is my second one. My first one lasted about a year and I was very satisfied until it stopped working. My current one is three months old and already starting to short out. I have to jar it on the side after I close it to get the light to activate. For the money, you would hope for it to be of a higher, longer lasting quality.

1.0 out of 5 stars Think about it for a minute. These gizmos are absolutely useless., December 2, 2009

Think about it for a minute. These gizmos are absolutely useless.

Who would actually think such a gizmo is even useful if it DID do what it claims?

(1) Anything that gets on your toothbrush head was ALREADY in your mouth. Unless you think your houseguests are cleaning their shoe soles with your toothbrush while you aren't looking.

(2) You are sitting a wet toothbrush head in this gizmo. Which means it is sitting in a puddle of water that is likely to mold/mildew. So you can put mold/mildew INTO your mouth (that was NOT in your mouth before).

(3) The puddle of water is likely to (a) rust out the innards of this gizmo and (b) short-circuit the gizmo's electronics.

(4) The American Dental Association says these gizmos have no proven beneficial health benefits:

Given all that, it seems your money would be better spent betting "Hard 8" at the Craps table in Vegas.
