>>2698536Travel toothbrushes are great, I had one for the field exercises when I was doing my compulsory military service. I had a small bottle of shower gel (that I refilled at the barracks from a larger one), deodorant, a tube of toothpaste, a travel tooth brush, safety razor and a towel whenever I went out in to the field for longer exercises. So that I could groom myself if given the chance to bathe. We often had the possibility of going to sauna after the wargame had ended. You just needed to bring your own hygiene products. If we were on shorter, couple night long exercises, then I just carried the toothbrush and tooth paste with me.
>>2698882>CONSOOOMToothbrushes are indeed consumable goods and you are supposed to replace them every few months anyways due to hygiene reasons. Buying a separate travel toothbrush is not really that mindless consooming, since dental hygiene products are something that you are supposed to replace regurally.
If you can fit a normal sized toothbrush in to your hygiene pack, that's good, but there is not really anything wrong in buying a dedicated travel version.
After your travel you can keep on using the travel toothbrush untill you have used it up completely. That is if you are so concerned about mindless materialism. Anyways, people do have spare toothbrushes. I have an electric toothbrush in use and a couple regural ones that I keep in the storage in case I end up needing them. I can give them to my friends/relatives who stay overnight if they happen to forget their own. Or, I can use them myself if my electric toothbrush stops working.
