The best toothbrush holders transform an unglamorous display opportunity into a moment for showing off your taste. We would wager that the less relevant toothbrush storage feels to you, the more important it actually is: If you’re one to store yours carelessly on the countertop, bristles down, among the muck of the bathroom sink, it’s very possible you are twice a day polishing your teeth with all the germs that accumulate in the bathroom (don’t think too hard about this). There are easy fixes for that, starting with accessories that keep your brush head far from the orange grime that lines the sink while simply suiting your bathroom’s style.
Electric toothbrush owners know this same struggle, the gunk that builds on the bottom of a Sonicare is so ubiquitously understood, a few brands (like Suri) are creating wall-mount toothbrush holders compatible with their designs to keep things as sanitized as possible. In the case that you love your manual toothbrushes (we do too), we have options for becoming toothbrush storage—from very dignified to quite minimalist.

You know what makes a great toothbrush holder? A cup. And while any will do the job, it takes a certain type to give your bathroom counter the thoughtfully designed touch you’re after. Variegated Murano glass with a bubbly rim keeps things playful without going full millennial goop. As an extra benefit, this one can comfortably store bulky electric toothbrushes (sans charger, obviously), which is more than we can say for some of these other more analog-style organizers.

Here’s an organic design for the sort of person that swears by bamboo toothbrushes. It’s subtle and practical while relaying a certain sense of taste. It takes up even less counter space than a toothbrush cup, and with four slots for your analog toothbrush, it’s perfect for a couple with plenty of routine guests, or the whole family.

It’s no marble, it’s no Murano glass, but it is an inoffensive and cleverly designed silicone toothbrush holder that keeps your electric toothbrush up and out of the way (a.k.a. not extremely-easily-knocked-into-the-toilet fodder).

There’s a lot to love about this piece from Kassatex: the rose marble, the accessible price ($42), the one-of-a-kind pattern that differs slightly from piece to piece, and its ability to host either two manual toothbrushes or one electric toothbrush without any issue.

Great organization requires out of the box thinking. This marker cup has all the makings of a great toothbrush holder, namely a wide mouth, ample storage space, and an adhesive to stick to the wall (a.k.a. nowhere near counter territory).

This split design keeps your toothbrushes from bristle-kissing. The deep green marble looks sophisticated on your countertop, even among used cotton rounds and a sticky, mangled tube of Crest. Let this $28 gem steal the show.

Care to think micro? No toothbrush holder is quite so space saving as this glorified bead from Muji, beloved by shopping director Rachel Fletcher: “It holds your toothbrush without any fear or tipping or dropping. Two tiny notes for this tiny gadget, it does require consistent cleaning (as anything in your bathroom would) as moisture can collect quickly; it’s also not one-size-fits-all, so measure accordingly!”

Recycled granite and aluminum work together to make a toothbrush holder that not only keeps your toothbrush heads far apart, but also allows them to look like they’re in a mid-spin kind of movement. Very romantic.

Among design lovers, there are always those who are simply seeking the least-fussy option. Yamazaki has answered the call with a wall-mounted adhesive toothbrush organizer that can store up to five manual toothbrushes, as well as razors, and keep them both dry and clean.
