Freshen that Grill!

Posted in: hygiene, teeth, Toothbrush

3Deeth is the smart, sanitary solution for freshening your mouth that you can conveniently carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack. The disposable version features a squeezable toothpaste reservoir that disperses paste onto the bristles while the non-disposable version is more rigid for a longer lifespan. After applying toothpaste, the user simply bites down on the device, brushing right to left with the grip. Bristles on both sides tackle hard to reach places on both upper and lower teeth simultaneously!

3Deeth is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winning entry.

Meet the Brusheads

Posted in: hygiene, Toothbrush

The Brusheads is a genius toothbrush collection that will have little ones begging to brush instead of resisting like they often do. Each fun, portable Brushead is presented as a 3D sculptured character that kids will love. The USB powered brushes feature intelligent sensors that detect brushing patterns & play fun audio messages as they’re used to encourage good practice. A synced mobile app lets kids compete their characters with peers & helps parents monitor brushing habits. I call dibs on the panda!

Floss Trainer

Posted in: dental, Floss, flossing, hygiene, Toothbrush

People’s inconsistency in flossing has less to do with not liking the process and more to do with issues of memory and habit development. With this in mind, the Oral Care Habit Development Device was designed into the toothbrush holder as a convenient way to measure and cut floss directly from the holder. The device also includes a timer that gives the user a visual signal and audible beep and can even be controlled with a smartphone app!

787 Washlets

Bidet-style, warm-water toilets take to the skies on ANA and JAL
ANA-Washlet-1.jpg

Dimming windows, exotic lightweight materials, improved fuel economy, mood-setting dynamic LED lights, massive overhead storage—there is no shortage of impressive amenities aboard Boeing’s long-awaited 787. Perhaps our favorite innovation to round out the offerings on the new plane (it made its debut on the 777-300ER) comes courtesy of Japanese carriers All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines: bidet-style washlets. The toilets in these business class washrooms shoot streams of warm, aerated water to keep flying derrières happy from Tokyo to London.

While washlets are frequently seen on Japanese toilets and are increasingly popular in homes and high-end hotels around the world, the 787 is one of the first commercial planes capable of implementing them. Four functions (back, soft, bidet and stop) are accessible on a knee-side panel for the washlets, which were collaboratively designed between Toto, Boeing and Jamco. Due to water restrictions, the cleaning operation can only be run twice for each use—hopefully adequate to satisfy airborne bottoms. Once finished, the lid closes automatically; both airlines also offer motion-controlled faucets. ANA’s restroom features a window, while JAL decks out theirs with a full-length mirror.

Take a closer look at JAL’s 787 in panoramic HD virtual tour.
