I cant take it anymore!
How do you store your toothbrushes and toothpaste? They are always all over the counter and it drives me NUTS! I have had like 3 or 4 different holders, but they are never big enough for some of our toothbrushes. The kids each use a different toothpaste, then there is our toothpaste. Ive tried just a large glass and putting them all in there, but it just looks messy! Plus once you pull one out, everything shifts and its a PITA to get them back in...hence crap all over the counter! What do you use?

Re: I cant take it anymore!
I'm no help, I shove them all into a cup. There's just 3 of us though. Maybe a basket if you have the counter space? One of the lined ones perhaps? We have a tiny sink so it wouldn't work for us.

If you have a draw in your vanity, I have the kids in a food tray that you store silveware in. It works great!!

Adult toothbrushes are in a nice stone holder. My kids electric brushes and their toothpaste is in a Chinese soup container

I have a holder that mounts to the inside of the door of my recessed medicine cabinet. It still closes with no problem. It was dirt cheap on amazon and now I have a totally clear vanity ( besides soap) and I love it! More sanitary too ;)

This was the best tip I ever got off Pinterest. I bought white ones at Dollar Tree, throw in the Dishwasher when it gets cruddy. Works awesome! I also use it organize all of my vanity drawers for brushes, hair ties, etc.

Re: I cant take it anymore!
I have one of these... the "small" size, out on the counter with our toothbrushes and toothpaste and stuff. got it at target. its nice bc you can move the dividers for what you want-- like one "section" for adult toothbrushes, one for adult toothpaste, and then ones for kids stuff. its still not great... but its working better than some other stuff I tried  LINK

Re: I cant take it anymore!
Thanks ladies! Problem with the drawer is they are stuffed with all the other daily toiletries we use (brushes, hair product, makeup, etc). Ugh, forget it, Im just throwing it all out and no one gets to brush their teeth!

Re: I cant take it anymore!
I got something like this at Bed, Bath and Beyond. The one I have has room for 2 toothbrushes, and then has another compartment for toothpaste which I was able to fit DD's toothbrush and toothpaste in. It fits nicely in the medicine cabinet and then I don't have to deal with it on the counter. They have a few different kinds at the store.

I just bought one sinliar to shelly's - though mine is a cup, and it was cheap from Target. the toothpaste compartment fits DS's but toothbrushes, and the 2 regular holes fit DH and my toothbrush.
