I haven't been able to find a toothbrush, in the last two years, that fits into our permanent wall holders, all the handles are so fat they won't come close to fitting in. drives me crazy!!

Got a brand that will fit the old standard size???

    Hmmm...I seem to recall seeing lots of 'standard' toothbrushes at Target the last time I was there. Colgate, Crest, Oral-B...where are you shopping? Have you asked your dentist? Usually they're more than happy to hand out freebies...

      You are right Lucky - I can't get any that fit in my holder either. The only ones that still work are the cheap ones that are 2 for about 82ยข. I have a really cute fish tb holder that is useless!

        Our house is from the 50s...

        They haven't made a brush for those holders in 20-odd years.

        On the plus side, they really made them solid back then.

          Same problem here! We gave up and just lay them across the top (we haven't kept a cup in there for years anyway, so they're not in the way). Yeah, you can still find them, but if you want a GOOD toothbrush (as opposed to the ones packerwmn mentioned, which kinda work but are cheap and flimsy), it can't be done.

            Me too. I used to buy Crest brushes but now they have a big lump of a handle that won't fit into the holder that matches everything else in the bathroom...plus they're ugly too.
