Have you ever felt the need for a toothbrush but didn’t have one? What about the time you ate that sandwich with too many onions before dashing off to a meeting?

Recently a friend and I were out socializing.  She complained after dinner, dessert and drinks that she needed to brush her teeth. I started to laugh and then -- Wham! -- I pulled the perfect little item from my purse.

It’s called the Wisp and it’s made by Colgate. They’re tiny little disposable toothbrushes that come with a liquid-filled bead already on the brush. Designed for one-time use, they don’t require water.

The bristles are soft and feel similar to a normal toothbrush. The handle is pointy and can serve as a toothpick. They come in three flavors: peppermint, spearmint and cinnamint.

I love the fact that the Wisp can easily fit in your pocket or handbag. It’s not meant to replace your normal brushing, though.

My only complaint is that the brushes don’t come separated within the four-pack. You have to carry two unless you cut the package down the middle.

I paid $2.19 for mine. If you try it, let me know what you think.
