By the way, the stuff made in Switzerland is going to be made in Poland soon. See the German Wikipedia site.

The pre-loaded brushes you mention are sometimes laid out in Japanese hotels, though mostly I ran into brushes with small toothpaste tubes.

For plane rides, I generally ask for sparkling water to hydrate and rid myself of the taste in my mouth in one go. Brushing can wait.

Fascinating. Who knew I was so out of the loop? I've got to get out more.

What about the Hager Pharma Xylitol toothbrushes on Amazon? They seem to come in smaller quantities.

You guys are much more into dental hygiene than I am. I carry gum with me and that holds me until I can use a real bathroom.

Um, *I* didn't realize Colgate was Nestlé; I was just making a general statement about things made in Switzerland.

Actually, I think they've just partnered in some things. Nestlé is so big it's impossible to avoid things without some "taint." It reminds me of trying to avoid products associated with the big tobacco companies, only to be astonished at how much that would remove from our lives, even if it were possible.

Sorry, didn't realize Colgate was Nestle. I'm sure other toothpaste/brush companies have similar things

Thanks. Made in Switzerland is a good thing ... at least if it's not Nestlé. :)

There are similar things out there but some are labeled as made in China. Not sure about the ones you mentioned. Colgate Wisp is something you can buy in the store, small and made in Switzerland. I haven't tried them but I bought them for the rest of the family for overnight trips/work.
