Whether you’re packing for a quick city break or an action-packed adventure cruise, there’s one essential you can’t leave home without: a good travel toothbrush. While there’s nothing to stop you from taking your regular toothbrush with you on vacation, the best options are lightweight and compact, with a durable travel case or brush cap to keep things hygienic in transit. We’ve selected the most travel-friendly picks from our ongoing electric toothbrush tests to round up this list of the very best. Each toothbrush was rated for ease of use, functionality, overall quality, value, and portability.

We also researched the best manual travel toothbrush options, including folding and disposable picks for those who prioritize portable convenience. There’s even an all-in-one kit since dental floss , mouthwash, and toothpaste are just as important as your travel toothbrush, because as dental hygienist Caroline Amerson, RDH, BSDH, MS, says, “the bacteria in your mouth work 24/7, 365 days a year even when you’re on vacation.” Read on to find our top picks for all your travel needs.

Best Overall, Electric

Oral-b genius x limited.

This toothbrush uses artificial intelligence to deliver a futuristic brushing experience enhanced by an integrated timer and pressure sensor.

The brush is slightly top-heavy and tips easily if knocked.

For tech-savvy perfectionists, it’s difficult to imagine a better toothbrush than the Oral-B Genius X Limited, an AI-enabled masterpiece that managed to seriously impress us, despite having previously only used manual toothbrushes and balking at this one’s considerable price tag. Even with its many bells and whistles, we found it intuitive to use right out of the box. The toothbrush uses Bluetooth to connect to an app on your smartphone, where you can view a diagram of your teeth that shows which areas have been correctly cleaned in real time.

We found the ability to see when we had achieved complete coverage very satisfying. The app also provides tips for effective brushing, saves your brushing history, and gives you the option to choose which modes are activated by toggling through the toothbrush’s easy-to-operate button. These range from the default (daily clean) to intense, sensitive, whitening, gum care, and tongue clean settings. Our favorite feature was the ring of LED lights that flashes red when you brush too hard (handy for those with receding gums).

We also appreciated the built-in timer, which not only alerts you when you’ve brushed for the recommended two minutes but also lets you know how long to spend on each quadrant of your mouth. The toothbrush itself is comfortable to hold, with a small, round head that reaches the furthest areas of the mouth and glides over teeth easily. We felt as though our teeth had been professionally cleaned each time. Finally, your investment is protected while traveling by a sturdy, slimline travel case.

Best Overall, Manual

Boka classic manual toothbrush.

This toothbrush features activated charcoal-infused bristles for maximum whitening and bacteria reduction.

There’s just one bristle strength available (extra soft).

The Boka Classic Manual Toothbrush is our top pick for those who like to brush manually in their everyday lives or are hesitant to travel with an expensive electric toothbrush. It’s lightweight, with a sleek, simple build that feels comfortable in the hand and a compact head that reaches easily into tight spaces. We love that the bristles are extra soft, making them gentle on sensitive gums and teeth; yet long and tapered for an effective clean around the gumline.

Given their softness, the bristles are surprisingly durable. They’re also infused with activated charcoal for maximum cleanliness and odor reduction without resorting to abrasive charcoal pastes and powders. The bioplastic handle scores sustainability points while the included protective cap keeps things hygienic when traveling. Choose yours in white, pink, mint, or blue.

The Details: Manual | Brush cap | Extra soft bristles

AquaSonic Electric Toothbrush

This toothbrush offers many of the same key features as the more expensive ones on our list, for a fraction of the price.

The brush head is a bit small.

Approved by the American Dental Association (ADA), the AquaSonic Vibe Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush is made for travel with a slim, lightweight body and a custom, hard plastic travel case with space for two extra brush heads. We love that the battery lasts for four full weeks, so unless you’re going on an extended trip, you don’t even need to pack the charger. When it does run out of battery, ultra-fast wireless charging eliminates the hassle of having cables all over your bathroom counter.

The toothbrush produces 40,000 vibrations per minute and includes four modes: clean, whiten, massage, and soft for sensitive gums. We found it easy to switch between the settings with a push of a button. Smart vibration timers indicate the 30-second and two-minute marks. We brushed immediately after eating gummy sweets and dried mango and felt that the toothbrush did an admirable job of cleaning our teeth. It comes with eight replacement heads in cute colors ranging from satin rose gold to mint green metallic.

Best Splurge

Philips sonicare prestige 9900 toothbrush.

This toothbrush offers AI-powered sensitive brushing, app connectivity, and a beautiful charging case that’s perfect for travel.

The expense is only worth it if you plan on using all of the extra features.

The Philips Sonicare Prestige 9900 is the most advanced electric toothbrush in the Philips range, coming in at almost twice the price of our already spendy overall winner. However, if you’re particularly invested in your oral care, it may well be worth the splurge. It’s easy to set up, ready to use right out of the box, and comfortable to hold (not too heavy, not too light, with a smooth, matte surface). There are five modes and three intensity settings to choose from, and we appreciated that we could switch between them while brushing. 

The toothbrush uses intelligent SenseIQ technology to sense pressure, motion, and coverage up to 100 times per second. It uses this information to adapt intensity automatically. An LED indicator warns you if you scrub too hard or apply too much pressure; while vibration alerts tell you when to switch brushing areas and when your two minutes are up. We liked being able to view a 3D map of our brushing efforts on the AI-powered Sonicare app, while the All-in-One brush head with its extra-long, angled bristles gave us that fresh-from-the-dentist smoothness after every brush. 

We particularly appreciated that the elegant, vegan leather travel case doubles as a charger for travel-ready convenience. The battery lasts approximately two weeks (enough for most trips) and has an icon to indicate how much charge remains.

Best for Sensitive Gums

Philips sonicare protectiveclean electric toothbrush.

This toothbrush offers three intensities and three brushing modes, including one especially designed for gum care.

While we liked the simplicity of not having an app or Bluetooth connectivity, some may miss these features.

The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is specially designed for sensitive teeth and gums. It’s also ideal for orthodontics and dental work including braces, crowns, and veneers. A built-in pressure sensor emits a gentle pulsing sound whenever you brush too hard, while other vibrating alerts let you know when to switch brushing areas and when your two minutes are up. You can choose between three intensities and three brushing modes: clean, white, and gum care. The latter adds an extra minute of reduced-power brushing for a gentle gum massage.

We used all of the settings each time we brushed. Toggling through them was easy, although we had to stop brushing to do so which limited the usefulness of the two-minute timer. The brush was comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver, leaving our teeth perfectly clean and smooth. This model also features intelligent BrushSync, which adjusts the intensity according to the type of brush head used and notifies you via a light on the handle when it’s time to change heads. The toothbrush comes with a compact charging base and a sturdy, hygienic travel case.

Best Folding

Gum folding travel toothbrush.

With a handle that doubles as a protective case, this toothbrush is ideal for slipping into a carry-on or backpack pocket.

The case features ventilation holes and is therefore not completely sealed.

For maximum on-the-go convenience, we love the Gum Folding Travel Toothbrush. Its tri-fold design reduces its size considerably for easy packing, while the handle doubles as a sturdy travel case to protect bristles from germs in transit. Tiny holes allow air to pass through so that the brush can continue to dry even if packed damp; similarly, a special coating prevents bacteria from accumulating.

Unlike some other folding toothbrushes, this one is just as sturdy as a regular toothbrush when unfolded, with a full-sized head. Meanwhile, the bristles are soft enough for sensitive gums with a multi-level design that enables them to clean effectively in between teeth. When you’re finished brushing, use the tongue cleaner on the reverse side of the head to complete your oral hygiene routine.

The Details: Manual | Handle doubles as a travel case | Soft bristles

Best Disposable

Freshee 5-in-1 disposable mini toothbrush.

You don’t need water to use these mini toothbrushes.

The disposable concept isn’t very environmentally friendly.

The Freshee 5-in-1 Disposable Mini Toothbrush is the ideal solution for those long travel days when access to a bathroom isn’t always convenient. That’s because it’s pre-pasted with a gel bubble filled with a liquid toothpaste designed for use without water. And, since it also minimizes foam production you won’t need to spit. Each toothbrush is individually wrapped to keep it sterile until you’re ready to use it.

The tiny packet fits in a jacket pocket, wallet, or carry-on pouch and since you throw the toothbrush away after use, you don’t have to worry about packing the damp brush away again. Despite its diminutive size, the toothbrush takes care of all your oral hygiene needs. Pull the handle apart to reveal a toothpick, then use the flossing stick on the end to clean in between each tooth. There’s even a tongue scraper on the back of the toothbrush head for optimal oral cleaning.

Spark Dental Co. Dental Travel Kit

This kit provides everything you need to keep your teeth clean in a TSA-approved, travel-ready bag.

The zippered pouch could be more durable.

Don’t have time to shop around for all of the dental care items you need ahead of your next trip? The Spark Dental Co. Travel Kit includes them all in a single purchase. First up, there’s a travel toothbrush with soft bristles and a tapered head for navigating the furthest reaches of your mouth. This toothbrush folds into its own handle, halving its size when packed and protecting it from germs — although some may find the locking mechanism is a little flimsy.

Other contents include a travel-sized tube of minty Crest toothpaste and a miniature bottle of Scope mouthwash. Both have been specifically chosen to comply with TSA rules for liquids and gels on airplanes. Finally, the kit includes a box of Oral-B dental floss for a true deep clean. All of these items come in a leakproof, zippered plastic pouch that can be used over and over again. There’s even a little space for any extra items you may wish to add.

We picked the best travel toothbrushes based on a combination of real-world testing and thorough research. All of our electric toothbrush picks were tested at home, where we evaluated them for ease of use, design, functionality, features, and quality. The selections in this article are some of our favorites from various real-world tests. The manual toothbrushes were selected by meticulously researching available data, trends, and other online reviews. We also interviewed a dental hygienist to make sure we knew what features to look for when selecting toothbrushes.

Tips for Buying a Travel Toothbrush

Decide whether you want something manual or electric.

If your budget allows for it, dental hygienist Caroline Amerson, RDH, BSDH, MS, says an electric toothbrush is always preferable to a manual one in terms of providing superior dental care. That’s because an electric toothbrush performs over 30,000 strokes per minute whereas a manual one can only perform around 300. Even if you’re going on a wilderness expedition with no access to electricity (or if you’re just worried about finding the correct adapter), a fully charged electric toothbrush will likely last for several weeks.

Amerson also points out that it’s possible to extend battery life by using the toothbrush manually in the morning and switching the electric motor on at night when it’s imperative to remove plaque and food before sleep. And, she says, just as a broken escalator turns into a functional set of stairs, so an uncharged electric toothbrush can be used as a manual one in a pinch. You could also look for an electric toothbrush with a travel-specific charging case. There is one caveat — disposable, pre-pasted toothbrushes are ideal for travel days when access to running water is difficult and you want to avoid packing a separate tube of toothpaste.

Choose the right bristle type for your teeth

Amerson says that you should only ever consider using a toothbrush with soft or extra-soft bristles. In fact, she says that “medium or hard bristles should be reserved for cleaning the grout between your bathroom tiles!” She also points out that the two major electric toothbrush brands in the United States (Oral-B and Sonicare) offer different brush head styles. Oral-B brushes use a round oscillating head which requires hopping from tooth to tooth using a slight rocking motion.

Meanwhile, Sonicare brushes have a more traditional head that should be held against the teeth with the last row of bristles sweeping the gumline. There’s no need to exert any pressure or implement any special kind of motion — just let the toothbrush glide around your mouth. Amerson points out that both styles work equally well, although she finds that Sonicare brushes offer an easier and more natural transition from manual toothbrushes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Keeping your toothbrush clean in transit requires some kind of traveling case or brush cap to prevent the bristles from coming into contact with germs. Amerson recommends choosing a case that has air vents in it to allow the bristles to dry properly. And when it comes to storing your toothbrush at your destination, try not to keep it in the same space as the toilet but rather on a nightstand or in the sink area if the latter is separate to the toilet. Finally, if you become unwell on your travels, consider purchasing a replacement toothbrush or switching out the head to prevent lingering bacteria from prolonging the sickness.

Unless space is a major concern — in which case, a folding manual toothbrush like the one listed above is your best bet — you should be able to use your everyday toothbrush on your travels. The amount you can expect to spend depends on whether you choose a manual toothbrush (usually in the $1 to $5 range) or an electric one (anywhere from $20 for a budget brand like Quip to $300+ for a top of the range choice from Sonicare). Amerson says that if high-end electric toothbrushes are out of your budget, any toothbrush with a motor is better than one without, so spend what you can while bearing in mind that a better quality product will last longer and offer more value in terms of cost per use.

According to TSA guidelines , electric toothbrushes may be packed in both your checked and carry-on luggage. The exception is those that use lithium ion batteries, which MUST be packed in your carry-on. Airports and airlines outside the U.S. may have different rules, but the general consensus seems to be that keeping your electric toothbrush with you in the cabin is the best and most acceptable practice.

If you’re someone who frequently travels, packing and repacking your toothbrush might become an issue. If not packed properly, your toothbrush can come in contact with all the other things in your bag, leaving it filled with germs and all sorts of other matter that you don’t want to end up in your mouth.

Before we dive into our top choices for travel toothbrushes, let’s take a peek at what you should consider in your search for the perfect toothbrush for traveling.

Hundreds of top-tier travel toothbrushes will make maintaining your oral hygiene on the go easier than ever. Before we explore which options are our favorites, let’s look at what should be the determining factors when choosing the perfect travel toothbrush.

Size and portability should be considered first and foremost when choosing the right toothbrush. For example, if you travel with a full-size travel cosmetic bag, you can choose a full-size toothbrush . On the other hand, some travelers prefer a minimalist style of packing. If that’s the case for you, selecting a compact or smaller size may work best for your packing needs.

Manual or Electric

If you already have an electric toothbrush at home, you might feel like a manual toothbrush for traveling feels like a downgrade . This is understandable since electric toothbrushes are proven to control tooth decay better.

Hot Tip: Keep in mind that if you’re planning a long-term travel experience, it might be appropriate to pack something that doesn’t need batteries or charging.

Dual Voltage

Even if you’re planning to stay in 1 country on your journey, it’s still a good idea to find a toothbrush that can adjust to different voltages. This is important, especially if you’re traveling to a place that has a higher voltage than what you’re accustomed to.

Some of the newer toothbrushes come with a dual-voltage option that automatically adjusts according to the power outlet they’re plugged into , which makes traveling much easier. If your toothbrush doesn’t have this feature, make sure you pack a voltage converter as well.

The ever-popular folding travel toothbrush is a travel enthusiast’s favorite . When assembled, the design takes up half the space of a standard-sized toothbrush without sacrificing the comfort of use when fully expanded.

Many of the best folding toothbrushes come with a carrying case that closes tightly to keep your bristles clean and bacteria-free.

The battery is one of the most important factors to consider when it comes to electric toothbrushes. Ideally, you want a toothbrush that is rechargeable and can last a week or 2 on a single charge . Battery-operated toothbrushes are not as appealing as rechargeable ones, but they are often cheaper.

Antimicrobial Properties

Picking a toothbrush with antimicrobial properties is key, particularly if you pitch your toothbrush into the depths of your toiletry bag when you come and go.

Antimicrobial strands hinder bacterial growth between uses , keeping your mouth as healthy as possible.

Bristle Variety

There are 3 options for toothbrush bristles: soft, medium, and hard. Most people prefer a medium-bristle toothbrush . If you have a tendency to brush your teeth forcefully, you might want to choose a softer bristle to help protect your gums and enamel.

Pay attention to the bristle material when picking a new travel toothbrush. Nylon bristles are the most common, but if you have sensitive gums, doctors suggest opting for a toothbrush with softer bristles like polyester.

Hot Tip: Check out our guides to the best travel toiletry bags for men and women , as well as the best travel Dopp kits for men .

How to select the best travel toothbrush

Both manual and electric toothbrushes can keep your gums healthy and reduce plaque build-up. However, there are apparent differences in effectiveness, cost, and convenience.

Here are what you need to know. 

First, let’s talk about bristle size. The best travel toothbrush reaches all the surfaces of your teeth. Most adults will want a toothbrush with a half-inch wide and one-inch tall head. This will be the most effective and easiest to use.

Toothbrushes with heads larger than this may be hard to maneuver and won’t be able to reach the nooks and crannies of your mouth. 

Next, let’s talk about overall size. Travelers will want to look for toothbrushes with a short and slim design, especially when they’re packing smart, but the small body shouldn’t compromise how comfortable they are to hold in your hand.

With that said, it’s best to select a portable toothbrush that’s comfortable enough to hold in your hand but small enough to fit in your toiletry bag. 

Bristle variety

Manual and electric toothbrushes come in different bristle varieties, including soft, medium, and hard. Most people will find the soft-bristled toothbrush the safest and most comfortable to use, but this depends on how vigorously they brush their teeth. 

Remember, brushing your teeth too hard may corrode your protective tooth enamel and damage your gums. If you want to be safer, you can even select bristles with rounded tips. 

While you’ll find an array of affordable powered toothbrushes in the market, electric toothbrushes are still many times more expensive than their manual counterparts. In addition to the initial expense, those with electric toothbrushes must purchase replacement heads. 

Effectiveness

According to an 11-year study by the Oral Health Foundation , those who use electric toothbrushes have less tooth decay, healthier gums, and keep their teeth longer than those using manual toothbrushes.

This is especially true for electric toothbrushes with oscillating heads.

Portability

Because of their weight and size, manual toothbrushes are more portable and easy to pack than their electronic counterparts. This is why manual toothbrushes are often the best choice for travelers. Thankfully, however, various portable electric toothbrushes are now available in the market, and some even come with carrying cases! 

What is the best way to travel with a toothbrush?

The most effective way to travel with a toothbrush involves using a toothbrush cover or case for hygiene and ensuring it’s completely dry before storing it to prevent bacteria growth. If space is an issue, consider using a travel-sized toothbrush, which is often foldable or compact, or even disposable toothbrushes for shorter trips. Always pack your toothbrush in an accessible spot for convenience during long transit periods.

Is a travel toothbrush necessary?

A travel toothbrush can be quite handy, especially for those who often find themselves on the move. It’s compact, often foldable, and easy to carry, making oral hygiene convenient even when you’re away from home. It may not be necessary if you don’t travel frequently or if you’re comfortable using regular toothbrushes during your trips.

The best electric toothbrushes for travellers

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

A toothbrush is usually the last thing to go into your carry-on and one of the most important. However, tossing your brush carelessly into your weekender without protection is a recipe for germs. Sure, you could opt to buy one of those folding manual brushes for trips away, but if you’re used to the power of your regular electric model, it can be tough to switch.

Fortunately there are plenty of quality electric toothbrushes available with travel cases, so you can keep yours hygienic on the move without sacrificing power. Some even have cases that hold their own charge, so you can both forgo packing your regular charger and won’t be disappointed should the hotel’s plugs not be compatible.

There are travel brushes to suit all budgets, with impressive features including real-time technique training via an app, two-minute timers and pressure sensors, so you can keep your teeth in tip-top shape whether at home or away – and all without risk of it getting dirty in your wash bag . Here are our picks of the best electric toothbrushes for travellers we’ve found.

Suri Sustainable Electric Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush overall

Suri’s smart toothbrushes have a couple of cool features for travellers, plus a host of sustainability credentials we’ve not seen other brands top. The brush heads are made from corn starch and castor oil – no plastic here, thank you very much – and if you send them back to Suri, they’ll be properly recycled for free. As for use on the go, the case has a UV light that destroys bacteria, so you know that you’ve got a clean brush the next time you use it – handy whether you’re away or at home. The case is about a third of the size of others we’ve tried, meaning it’ll squeeze into the smallest gap in your carry-on. Everyone who’s tested this has loved this brush – its slimline case makes it a winner for hand luggage -only travellers especially.

PhilipsOne Battery Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush for: those on a budget

Sometimes it’s not appropriate to take your £100-plus toothbrush away. If you’re going to be hopping from hotel to hotel, are backpacking or camping, don’t run the risk of losing such a serious investment piece. However, packing a cheaper model doesn’t mean you need to forgo the power of an electric brush. The PhilipsOne does the job perfectly well at a purse-friendly £29.99, buzzing every 30 seconds to let you know when to move on to the next part of your mouth, just like the more premium models tested. It’s not rechargeable, but one AAA battery will last three months – do remember to recycle them correctly at the end of their lifespan.

Oral B iO10

Best travel toothbrush for: recharging on-the-go

I’ve had my iO for around three years now and it’s accompanied me on countless trips around the UK and abroad. It has seven different settings and buzzes every 30 seconds to let you know to move to a different quadrant of your mouth – a feature I really like. The accompanying app tracks how well you brush your teeth and provides feedback on your technique. As a frequent traveller, the best thing about this toothbrush is the chargeable case, which allows you to top up your brush via the case itself, so you don’t have to bring your charger on holiday.

Philips DiamondClean

Best travel toothbrush for: techy types

This is the most expensive toothbrush in our round-up. At over £500, it’s an investment piece. However for your money, you get one of the most advanced electric brushes on the market – with a pressure sensor, 62,000 vibrations per clean, and clever triangular tips that work to banish stains effectively. Over-brushing will be a thing of the past – the brush adjusts itself when it senses you pushing too firmly and an accompanying app provides real time feedback on your technique. The case is the most stylish one we’ve seen, with a sleek faux leather wrap, and a USB charging port that charges the brush inside. If you’re a forgetful type, you might not want to risk bringing such a pricey toothbrush away, but for a stylish, super-effective toothbrush with a travel case, there’s no better option.

Ordo Sonic Lite Electric Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush for: colour range

Like the Oral-B iO, Ordo’s travel toothbrush case holds its own charge. This gives you an extra eight hours while you’re on the go, on top of an already very respectable four-week battery life. It has four modes and interestingly comes with a silicone polishing element to ensure a dentist squeaky clean feel. It also comes in a selection of cool neon shades, like this luminous purple , a range unlike others on this list.

Sonisk Pulse

Best travel toothbrush for: carry-on only travel

Perfect for travellers who travel with just a personal bag, Sonsik’s electric toothbrush delivers a good clean – 31,000 vibrations a minute – at a mini size and price. It is battery-operated, but one AAA battery should last 90 days, giving you plenty of use on holiday before it needs to be replaced. It comes with two replacement heads, and we like the array of colours on offer, too.

Spotlight Sonic Toothbrush

Best travel toothbrush for: battery life

Spotlight’s electric toothbrush has one of the most impressive battery lives we’ve seen for an electric brush, holding a charge for 70 days. The case isn’t chargeable, but will keep your toothbrush safe in your hand luggage. It has a smart pressure sensor, a timer to let you know when to move on to the next part of your mouth and – unlike the other brushes in this list – a tongue cleaner. At £66 in the sale, it’s well-priced to feel comfortable taking it away with you without fear of loss.

• Things to Consider

If you are planning to buy a travel-friendly electric toothbrush, chances are that you are baffled by the numerous choices available. It can be difficult to narrow down the options and zero in on the product that is ideal for you. We have compiled this buying guide to help you make the correct decision. We will discuss the important factors that we took into consideration when reviewing all the toothbrushes so that you can fix your priorities.

Features that make an electric toothbrush suitable for travel

If you want to determine whether an electric toothbrush is suitable for travel, the following factors should be taken into consideration.

• Travel case

Usually, the travel cases are made with plastic and can reduce any chance of damage to the bristles on the brush head significantly. It will also reduce the likelihood of the electric toothbrush getting switched on by mistake. The extra moisture on the brush will not shift onto the other contents of the bag.

Most premium electric toothbrushes like the Fairywill FW508 Electric Toothbrush come with their own travel cases. Some, like the Philips Sonicare ExpertClean 7500 , come with a charging travel case.

• Battery runtime

Since electric toothbrushes are cordless, they use batteries that are placed inside the handle. The battery can either be removable by hand or fixed internally. Toothbrushes from different brands will require a different-sized battery. Most electric toothbrushes have a battery life of at least two weeks. It takes a few hours to charge them, after which they are ready to go. However, some brushes have an even longer battery life. The AquaSonic Black Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush and the Fairywill FW508 Electric Toothbrush

can retain their charge for up to 30 days. Make sure that your charge your toothbrush at the hotel if you do not have a rechargeable case.

• Charging options

Electric toothbrushes do not have to be plugged in when you use them, but they should be charged regularly.

There are different ways to charge an electric toothbrush. Some require cords, while others can be charged with just a USB cord. In most cases, you will already have a suitable USB plug and wall charger, which means that you will be able to charge your brush without any hassle. Some brushes come with standard plug cords that are made particularly for that model. If you happen to lose that plug cord, you will have to replace it immediately.

When you travel to different countries, you will have to deal with different voltages. Get your hands on a plug adapter and voltage converter that can adjust to multiple different voltages, or opt for a dual voltage product.

How to choose your ideal electric toothbrush?

Once you have determined whether an electric toothbrush is ideal for travel, you have to decide whether the product itself will be effective. Investing in a subpar electric toothbrush that does not deliver results will only worsen your dental health.

There are certain factors that you can take into consideration to evaluate the efficacy of the product. You will find yourself being drawn to some features more than the others, and that is perfectly acceptable. In fact, that will help you narrow down your choices based on your requirements.

The following features can make or break an electric toothbrush.

• Brush head type: oscillating or sonic

If you are new to electric toothbrushes, you might be confused between a sonic brush and an oscillating brush.

Sonic brushes can use a mechanical side-to-side cleaning motion to eliminate plaque. Alternatively, they use a non-contact approach to create intense vibrations with the help of sonic technology. The Philips Sonicare Expert Clean 7500 is a sonic toothbrush.

On the other hand, oscillating-rotating toothbrushes move back and forth or side to side in a circular motion so as to remove dental debris and plaque. Oral-B electric brushes swear by this technology and have also introduced pulsations.

• Cleaning modes

Additional cleaning modes will help you tailor a brushing practice for yourself. The default mode is called ‘Clean’ or ‘Daily Clean, and it works alongside other modes such as Gum Care, Whitening, Deep/Pro-Clean, and more. If you want maximum versatility, you should opt for a toothbrush that has many cleaning modes to choose from.

• Pressure sensor

The bristles of the brush should touch your teeth and gums, but you do not have to scrub hard. Brushing correctly is not about applying excess pressure and being aggressive. Electric toothbrushes with a pressure sensor will detect changes in the brushing sensation and alert you whenever you are brushing too hard. You will learn to be more conscious over time.

• Built-in timer

A built-in timer is an invaluable feature in an electric toothbrush. Not brushing long enough can cause long-term damage to dental health. Brushes with timers will ensure that you brush your teeth for the recommended two minutes and attend to every section of the mouth for a certain amount of time. As it happens, all the electric toothbrushes on our list come with built-in timers.

• Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone app available

Smart features can elevate an ordinary device. Whether it be Sonicare’s BrushSync technology or Oral-B’s user-controlled SmartRing, electric toothbrushes are now dedicated to helping you improve your oral care routine. Brushes with Bluetooth connectivity such as the Philips Sonicare ExpertClean 7500 and the Oral-B 9600 can connect with your smartphone or tablet through an app. If you want to monitor your brushing habits, these features are crucial.

• How can I charge my electric toothbrush in Europe?
• How often should I replace brush heads?
• Is it possible to charge an electric toothbrush in a case?
• Our verdict

The Philips Sonicare ExpertClean 7500 is a sonic toothbrush that offers four modes and three intensities so that you can create a customized brushing routine. It has a powerful motor and offers up to 31,000 brush strokes per minute. The pressure sensor will ensure that you do not damage your gums.

The AquaSonic Black Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush comes with four modes and operates on sonic technology. The built-in timer makes sure that you devote enough time to brushing. It is waterproof and comes with eight brush heads. Wireless charging is a handy advantage.

The sonic Fairywill FW508 Electric Toothbrush has five modes and is equipped with a 40,000 VPM motor. It comes with eight brush heads and removes plaque efficiently.

We hope that our quest to find the best travel electric toothbrush that can make travels a lot more fun.

Can You Travel with an Electric Toothbrush?

With so many restrictions about what you can and cannot bring on a plane, you may be wondering if you can even travel with an electric toothbrush.

Our solution for you is a toothbrush with a charging travel case. Simply put it back in the case where it belongs and it will charge the battery so you’re never stuck with a lifeless brush again .

Below, we’re sharing our favorite electric toothbrush with a charging case that is perfect for traveling digital nomads.

With three speed settings and five cleaning modes, you can improve your gum health by seven times in just a week.

Now, let’s talk about the travel features of this dynamic electric toothbrush. The case isn’t perfect for just keeping your brush safe while traveling, it also charges the toothbrush for you!

Oh and let’s not forget the charging glass that comes with it. If you have some room in your luggage you can bring the sleek glass cup that acts as a charging station or a convenient way to rinse your mouth.

Battery-Powered Travel Electric Toothbrushes

Some digital nomads want to keep things simple. The fewer cords and wires they have in their bags, the better. Just think about all of the chargers and wires you already have for your phone, computer, e-reader, and tablet. You don’t want another one for your toothbrush!

The best thing for digital nomads in this situation is to get a battery-powered toothbrush . By simply inserting a battery, you’ll have clean teeth for weeks – sometimes even months. Let’s explore some of our top recommended toothbrushes that run with batteries.

Violife Sonic Toothbrush

One of the smallest travel electric toothbrushes on the market, the Violife Sonic Toothbrush is a minimalist digital nomad’s dream. Powered by just one AAA battery, this powerful little tool provides 22,000 strokes per minute.

If you aren’t looking for the fancy features of a pimped-out toothbrush but still want high-quality oral hygiene, then this toothbrush is for you! Super lightweight and with no extra gadgets to carry around, you’ll always have room for your Violife Sonic Toothbrush in your bag.

Quip Battery Powered Travel Electric Toothbrush

Simple, slim, and extremely travel-friendly, the Quip Battery Powered Travel Toothbrush is a game-changer for digital nomads who want to keep their luggage light and their teeth white. With just one AAA battery, this toothbrush has a whopping three-month charge!

With a two-minute timer and 30-second pulse settings, you can reduce gingivitis and improve your oral health. The sleek travel case is also super convenient as it protects your toothbrush and acts as a holder by mounting to mirrors or counters. The slim metal handle is stylish and a guaranteed space saver.

Can You Use a Travel Adapter for an Electric Toothbrush?

Many digital nomads wonder if they can use their electric toothbrush with a travel adapter if they have to plug it in to charge it. The answer depends on the type of toothbrush you have and its voltage.

For example, the voltage in the United States is much lower than in European countries. Therefore, items like hairdryers blow out due to the voltage difference.

One solution is to purchase a travel adapter and voltage converter . This allows you to use your own items in different countries with different voltages and outlets – saving you a ton of money if you’re traveling full-time!

So the answer is yes, you can use a travel adapter for your electric toothbrush, but only if it is also a voltage converter as well . Otherwise, you can have a very dangerous problem.

Best Electric Toothbrushes For Travel (Slim, Compact Designs)

Life Health HQ is reader-supported, which means we may earn a small commission through products purchased using links on this page.  Here’s how it works.

You love your electric toothbrush – but how do you handle all those cords when you’re on the go?

I’ve been a big fan of electric toothbrushes ever since I set my molars on my Phillips Sonicare toothbrush.

However, lately I’ve been traveling a lot and have found that the Sonicare’s fairly bulky design, along with the wall charger I need for longer trips, have become quite impractical.

Using manual toothbrushes after being such a die-hard electric endorser feels strange – I never feel I’m getting my teeth as clean as I should. I wanted a compact design I could take on my travels.

Tooth technology has come a long way, and I’m happy to say that after our research we’ve found a nice variety of quality electric toothbrushes that are slim and compact enough for travel.

Today we’re exploring all your options when it comes to travel electric toothbrushes – we’ll talk about features to look for and review a few top pick suggestions.

See our quick picks to get right to the good stuff, or continue reading for our full reviews!

Things to Consider When Shopping For a Travel Electric Toothbrush:

Weight. Naturally, the slimmer the better, and usually lighter is better too. However, with some products, users note that having a toothbrush that is too light gives the device a cheap toy feel. Ideally, you want a toothbrush that is light enough to be convenient but has at least a bit of weight to give it substance and add some durability.

Battery vs Wall Charger. Most traditional electric toothbrushes feature rechargeable batteries, but this can be impractical for travel. Rechargeable batteries are still doable if the charge can last a very long time, but if you’re traveling for months at a time, this will be hard to come by. Luckily, there are some great slim electric toothbrushes on the market that can last a very long time with just a single AA battery.

Timers . One of my favorite features of my Sonicare brush is the pulsing timer than vibrates every 30 seconds, reminding me to brush another section of teeth and keeping lazy brushers like myself to the 2-minute rule. Some travel toothbrushes lack these extra bells and whistles, but if it’s important to you, seek out the ones that have great features like these.

1. Phillips Sonicare Battery-Powered Toothbrush

The Phillips Sonicare HX3631 takes one of the most popular electric toothbrush brands and introduces a travel-friendly, battery-operated model.

This model measures in at 1 x 1 x 7 inches, and weighs about 4 ounces.

This brush has the features you’d expect in a Sonicare – a built-in 2-minute timer to ensure you’re brushing the right amount of time, an ergonomic handle, and 15,000 brushstrokes per minute, promising perfect pearly whites.

Phillips also claims that this brush has been clinically proven to be safe for folks with braces, fillings, crowns, veneers, etc. so you can rest easy when you brush.

• Better check-ups Guaranteed Sonic Technology removes more plaque than a manual toothbrush
• Helps reduce cavities and whitens teeth
• 2 minute timer helps ensure recommended brushing time
• 2 AA Batteries Included
• #1 Recommended brand by dental professionals

PROS: Advocates love that they finally have an electric toothbrush that is light enough for travel, offers a great teeth cleaning, and does away with cumbersome cords.

CONS: One unhappy owner notes that this toothbrush feels like it makes his entire head vibrate, and yet he still doesn’t feel his teeth are satisfyingly cleaned.

Quip has been quite the social media darling, and it’s pretty easy to stumble upon one of their stylish ads on Instagram.

Reviews are generally positive, but some folks aren’t too happy with Quip’s cheaper plastic models, claiming that the toothbrushes feel too light. Most happy customers are those who opted for the metal finish models.

Quip takes the cake when it comes to style – its sleek design (especially the metal models) makes it feel like it would look at home next to an iPhone . Quip’s electric toothbrush runs on a single AAA battery, and can last for months at a time without losing juice.

Quip prides itself on including all the features you need in a toothbrush, without any extra gimmicks. It has a handy 2-minute timer, with 30-second pulse intervals to remind you to switch teeth quadrants.

This unit is super slim and very convenient for travel, especially considering its handy travel cover that also doubles as a wall mount (and not the sticky kind that can be used once – this wall mount can be suctioned and removed from multiple spots).

Quip also comes with a brush head subscription plan, delivering fresh brush heads to your home on a set schedule to ensure that you’re brushing most effectively and with clean bristles.

PROS: Quip is slim, sleek, and a very convenient design for travel. It feels nice to hold, and the built-in timer is a nice added touch.

CONS : I own a Quip and have to say, I continually question its effectiveness. The vibration is so gentle compared to my home Sonicare brush that it’s offputting. Still, my teeth do seem to get clean, but I don’t have that sense of really getting all the gunk scraped off that I do with my Sonicare.

While the Quip looks great, it still has some major design flaws. The rounded bottom means the toothbrush can’t stand on its own (something I’ve become accustomed to with other electric toothbrushes).

At the same time, resting the toothbrush horizontally on a sink countertop feels strange because opposite side of the brush is a tongue cleaner. The raised tongue cleaner surface means that the toothbrush is constantly rolling to one side or the other and won’t stay upright.

I still use my Quip for traveling and overnights, but I’ve found that at home I prefer to go back to my Sonicare.

Update: I’ve been using my quip for over a year now and despite my initial reservations, it’s become my full-time toothbrush. My dentist seemed happy with my dental hygiene last time I visited, so I’ll continue using Quip. I’m on the go a lot, and it’s nice to have a toothpaste that is so easy to pack up and take on the go, plus it takes up a lot less space than my old Sonicare brush.

I also have to say, I love the auto-shipment of brush heads. I used to have to remind myself to get on Amazon and order Sonicare brush head replacements every few months, but I don’t need to worry about that with Quip’s auto brush head refills, and it’s always fun to see those shiny packages with my new brush head in the mail!

It’s not perfect – I’ve found that gunk gets stuck at the bottom of the holder / travel carrier, so I have to use a bottle brush to clean it. But largely, Quip has really grown on me!

3. Oral-B Black Pro Rechargeable Toothbrush

The Oral-B Black Pro is a sophisticated electric toothbrush with some impressive bells and whistles, all while being

Oral-B’s pride and joy is the unit’s “CrossAction brush head,” featuring a circular brush that has bristles angled at 16 degrees, designed to get in deeper between teeth and around gums. The CrossAction brush rotates, oscillates, and pulsates to remove additional plaque along the gumline.

Oral-B Black Pro also has a unique pressure sensor that will stop pulsations if it recognizes that you are brushing too hard (a nice bonus if you’ve already been chastised by your dentist for hard brushing).

This unit also features an in-handle timer that ensures you brush for the dentist-recommended full 2 minutes. The timer also uses a 30-second pulsing timer to remind you to switch to the next section of teeth.

This unit uses a rechargeable battery, but claims to hold a charge for 7 days, so it should still function well for the occasional short-trip traveler.

• REMOVE UP TO 100% MORE PLAQUE* along the gumline whilst PROTECTING GUMS with our dentist-inspired round brush head technology *vs. a manual toothbrush
• PROTECT YOUR GUMS with sensi cleaning mode and GUM PRESSURE CONTROL that automatically stops brush pulsations when brushing too hard
• MAXIMIZE CLEANING performance with 3 EASY-TO-USE CLEANING MODES + handle-integrated quadrant timer that alerts you every 30sec to change brushing zone
• PERSONALIZE & LEVEL-UP YOUR CLEAN with Oral-B BRUSH HEADS AVAILABLE* for YOUR individual needs: e.g., deep clean, gentle clean, whitening *for purchase
• Oral-B ROUND brush heads REACH WHERE RECTANGULAR manual brushes DON'T. Experience a better clean from the #1 brand most used by dentists worldwide

PROS : Most users are very happy with the Oral-B Black Pro and feel that their teeth are getting a good solid cleaning. Folks also appreciate the built-in timer.

CONS: Some users expressed the wish to have replaceable batteries so that the unit doesn’t have to be trashed when the lithium-ion batteries die (which they inevitably do at some point over the years).

VioLife is an affordable line of portable electric toothbrushes that are charged by AAA batteries. It’s a bit on the basic side – it doesn’t have a built-in timer – but we still think it’s a worthy travel brush.

VioLife puts an emphasis on a slim and portable – at .8 x .8 x 6.2 inches and weighing 1.9 ounces, it’s quite small indeed.

VioLife also features a snap-on mascara-style vented travel cap that makes it easy to bring your brush wherever you go.

Unit comes with 2 brush heads, and the VioLife handles come in a variety of styles and patterns so you can choose a look all your own.

PROS: Most folks appreciate the VioLife as an ultra-compact, on-the-go brush great for the occasional trip or to keep at the office, but most agree they wouldn’t use it as their primary toothbrush.

CONS: Some users note that this brush feels cheaps and not as sturdy as other electric toothbrushes. Some question how powerful the brush is as well.

5. Oral-B 3D White Battery Powered Toothbrush

The Oral-B 3D White is definitely the most affordable brush on this list, putting it within basically anyone’s budget. There’s only one speed, and while the bristles are fine, they aren’t anything special. They are designed with medium pressure bristles, which may be too hard for some.

This unit certainly lacks bonus features like a built-in timer or travel-handy covers. Still, at 1.3 x 1.3 x 9.4 inches and weighing at 3 ounces, it’s a fine contender for your travel toothbrush companion.

There’s no travel case for this toothbrush, so you’ll need to find your own way to keep the top clean during travels. There are options for replacing brushes, but they can be a bit hard to come by if you don’t order them online. The batteries are also replaceable, using AA batteries that are easy to come by.

While these are probably still more effective than standard toothbrushes, you can do a lot better when it comes to electric travel toothbrushes. The vibrations aren’t as tight or fast as they are with higher-end models, and most agree that they aren’t as effective at cleaning teeth.

Still, for a short trip out of town, Oral-B 3D White isn’t the worst option out there!

• Cleans hard-to-reach places.^Rotating Powerhead: Loosens and whisks away plaque from surfaces, gumline and back teeth.^CrissCross Bristles: Reach deep between teeth to lift out and sweep away plaque.^Delivers more cleaning action than the leading manual toothbrush.^Replaceable Brush Head.

PROS: Super affordable, it’s a portable electric toothbrush any budget can handle.

CONS: No timer, and some claim the vibrations are actually too strong and can hurt your gums if you’re used to softer bristles. Some note that the unit feels cheap and flimsy in general.

Travel Gear

Travel-friendly toothbrush options that take up less space.

This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using them, we will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps to keep this site running – thank you!

Wherever and whenever you go, a toothbrush (and toothpaste!) is a definite must-have in your carry-on luggage or backpack for travel. 

Whenever I travel, I always joke around that I can leave everything else – BUT NOT my toothbrush. 

Of course, I’m not okay with leaving my other important travel gear , but you get my point. While picking up a toothbrush at your destination is no big deal, packing one is generally high on everyone’s priority list.

Even though they might be tiny, we at Her Packing List believe that every little bit adds up – even your toiletry kit . If you’re after a more travel-friendly toothbrush option that takes up even less space , we’ve got you covered!

From folding to electric to compact ones, we made sure to include everything in the list – including toothbrush covers to keep your toothbrush clean!

Things to Consider When Buying a Travel Toothbrush

Before you get confused with so many options, there are a few things you need to consider before buying a toothbrush for your next travels. 

Here they are: 

Bristle firmness and texture

Yes, how toothbrush bristles feel against your mouth matters. There are different firmness and textures of toothbrushes from soft to medium to hard. Unfortunately, a lot of the super compact and low-cost travel toothbrushes can feel pretty harsh on your gums, so choose wisely.

If you have sensitive teeth and gums, soft to medium bristles should be your first choice. Just to be sure, check with your dentist. 

Type of travel toothbrush

With plenty of options on the market, you need to decide if you’d go for disposable or reusable travel toothbrushes (which come in a lot of different types, like foldable or compact). While we recommend reusable, there are some interesting disposable toothbrushes that might have a place on certain trips.

You also have the choice to bring an electric toothbrush if you prefer it more than manual options. 

Take note that both manual and electric toothbrushes have their own pros and cons. For example, a manual or compact toothbrush requires less maintenance. On the other hand, an electric toothbrush will either require a battery or charge to function. 

Toothbrush covers for hygiene

While the idea of stuffing your toothbrush in a plastic or a ziploc bag seems great, it’s actually the worst place to keep them. Why? Bacteria buildup (eww!).

Bacteria likes to grow in wet places and when you’re traveling, using your toothbrush and stuffing it in a plastic bag suffocates them with no room to breathe. When you buy a travel toothbrush, make sure you also buy appropriate covers with holes for ventilation to keep your toothbrush free of bacteria. 

Travel-Friendly Toothbrush Options

Now that we’ve talked about the basics, here are the different travel-friendly toothbrushes that you may like for your next travels. 

Electric Travel Toothbrushes

Philips one rechargeable toothbrush.

Inclusions: 1x rechargeable toothbrush, 1x brush head, 1x travel case, 1x Type-C USB charger

Why we like it:

• Quiet operation
• Slender handle

What’s not to like: Bulkier and less powerful than regular electric toothbrush

Compared to other electric toothbrushes on the market, the Philips One electric toothbrush is quite affordable. It’s bulkier than manual and compact toothbrushes, but if you want a more satisfying brushing experience this is the one you should buy.

Also, the slender handle of this electric toothbrush makes it easier to brush your teeth. Just note that this is less powerful than regular electric toothbrushes since it’s made for travel. 

Pop Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Inclusions: 1x electric toothbrush, 1x replacement brush head, 1x AAA battery, 1x instruction manual

• Comes with 2-speed options
• Ergonomic design

What’s not to like: Soft bristles and gentle brushing may not be for everyone

The Pop Sonic electric toothbrush is more packable than the Philips One since it’s less bulky. The nylon bristles of this toothbrush are good for sensitive gums since they’re soft, but also flexible for hard-to-reach areas.

Overall, using this toothbrush will be like giving your teeth a gentle massage. While that’s a good thing for some, you may not like it if you’re used to giving your teeth a good scrub at the end of the day. It’s all about preference! BUT if you like a cute toothbrush with soft bristles, then this will be perfect. 

Quip Adult Electric Toothbrush

• Built-in tongue scraper
• Sleek and compact design
• Automatic notification at a 2-minute stop

What’s not to like: Limited color options

The Quip adult electric toothbrush is compact, sleek, and powerful! It’s powerful enough to provide your teeth and mouth with a deep clean feel despite having soft bristles. The added bonus was the built-in tongue scraper! The sleek and compact design makes it easy to hold and is super easy to use. 

Compact Travel Toothbrushes

Lingito travel toothbrush.

Inclusions: 3x toothbrush per pack

• Convertible built-in case
• Medium bristle firmness
• Regular-sized toothbrush

The Lingito travel toothbrush is very convenient for travel since it comes with a built-in case that you can convert into a handle when you use it. This compact design makes it easy to bring this toothbrush in your purse or even your pocket.

A pack comes with three toothbrushes making it one of the most affordable options out there. The only thing you need to be careful with is that since the handle becomes a fully enclosed case, you need to make sure that your toothbrush is dry before you pack it up to avoid bacteria buildup. 

Heinenand Travel Toothbrush

Inclusions: 10x or 20x toothbrushes per pack

• 4-in-1 toothbrush
• Environmentally friendly as it’s made from wheat straw

What’s not to like: Too small for some and ultra-soft bristles are not for everyone.

Similar to the Colgate Max Fresh Wisp toothbrush, the Heinenand travel toothbrush works as a convenient toothbrush that is multi-functional.

You can buy this for a pack of 10 or 20 and you get a toothbrush, a floss, toothpick, and a tongue scraper in one. It’s a convenient way to keep your teeth and mouth clean overall. What makes this toothbrush even better is that it’s nature-friendly being made from biodegradable materials.

Prony 3in1 Portable Travel Toothbrush

Inclusions: 1x foldable toothbrush and 1x free cleaning brush

• 3in1 kit (toothbrush, travel case, and toothpaste tube)
• replaceable toothbrush head
• FREE cleaning brush

What’s not to like: No ventilation holes

The Prony 3in1 portable toothbrush is almost perfect for a folding toothbrush – except it lacks any ventilation holes. But missing ventilation hole aside, it’s a good travel toothbrush with a toothpaste tube so you don’t have to worry about bringing a full tube of toothpaste.

Plus, there’s an included cleaning brush for cleaning the toothpaste end. Just make sure to keep it out for as long as you can to let it dry before putting it away. 

Folding Travel Toothbrushes

Gum folding toothbrush.

Inclusions: Pack of 2 toothbrushes

• Tri-fold design
• Antibacterial bristles

As folding toothbrushes go, the GUM folding travel toothbrush is on a whole new level. Aside from its space-saving tri-fold design where the bristles fold into the handle, this toothbrush also uses hygienic-treated bristles to keep it clean.

Plus, there’s a tiny hole to air out any leftover moisture to make sure your toothbrush is free of mold and any possible bacteria buildup from being wet.

Radius Tour Travel Toothbrush

Inclusion: Pack of 3 toothbrushes

• Slim neck and jack knife design
• 3x more bristles than the average toothbrush
• Sustainable and eco-friendly materials

What’s not to like: Too soft bristles may not feel as effective at cleaning your teeth

Radius is a small business owned by women and they definitely know what a woman needs when packing light . The unique hideaway feature of the Radius Tour travel toothbrush makes it very compact. They have 3x more bristles (that are vegetable-derived) for better cleaning and the heads are replaceable, which saves you more compared to just buying a whole new toothbrush.

Lingito Folding Travel Toothbrush

• Firm grip handle
• No need for a loose cover
• Budget-friendly option

What’s not to like: Limited color choices

As a folding toothbrush, the Lingito travel toothbrush is pretty straightforward. It comes with a solid grip handle, folds up nicely, and cleans up well with medium-soft bristles. It’s lightweight and compact and you don’t need any additional toothbrush cover since the toothbrush head folds into the handle.

Brooke has this folding toothbrush and likes that it makes packing a toothbrush into her Tom Bihn 3D Organizer Cube – that she uses as a toiletry bag – so much easier!

Travel Toothbrush Kits

Colgate max fresh wisp disposable mini toothbrush.

Inclusions: 24x disposable mini toothbrush

• No rinsing necessary
• Brush and go
• Built-in toothpaste bead
• Can also be used as a toothpick

What’s not to like: Too small for some, and it’s disposable.

If you’re looking for a quick way to clean your teeth on the go, the Colgate Max Fresh Wisp disposable toothbrush should be in your toiletries. It’s a toothbrush and a toothpick in one with built-in toothpaste (freshening beads) that dissolve once you use it. That’s right… no need to practice those toothpaste packing hacks with this brush option.

This is convenient when you don’t have easy access to water and you need a convenient way to clean your teeth. It can also be nice for those quick overnight trips – you won’t have to pack much, not even toothpaste!

Crest Scope Mini Toothbrush

Inclusions: 12x mini toothbrush

• Multi-ridge tongue cleaner
• Interdental pick

What’s not to like: Not the most durable travel toothbrush, and it’s intended for single-use

The Crest Scope mini toothbrushes are a lot similar to the Colgate Max Fresh Wisp disposable toothbrushes. But where the Colgate Max Fresh wisp has softer bristles, the Crest Scope has thick and stiff bristles. This can make brushing your teeth feel uncomfortable especially if you have sensitive teeth and gums. It’s a good travel toothbrush for a quick clean, perhaps nice for camping, but it is not the most durable option. 

Reach Oral Kit

Inclusions: 1x toothbrush, 1x Crest 3D White Luxe Whitening Toothpaste, 1x toothbrush cap, 1x mini floss container

• Complete oral hygiene kit
• Easy kit to buy and pack without thinking

What’s not to like: Not the most compact option

If you’re a fan of a complete oral kit, this would be a good choice. However, it might not be your best choice if you’re looking for a compact option since the toothbrush doesn’t fold and you need to find more space for it plus the toothpaste that comes with it. 

Colgate Travel Kit

Inclusions: 1x toothbrush, 1x Toothpaste

• Value pack toothpaste and toothbrush
• Convertible handle as toothbrush case

What’s not to like: No ventilation holes on toothbrush case

The Colgate Travel Kit comes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a travel-friendly toothpaste tube. The toothbrush case can be converted as the handle which makes it very compact. The only downside is the lack of a ventilation hole when storing the toothbrush. 

Brushee 3in1 Oral Care Tool

Inclusions: 24x pre-pasted mini toothbrushes with dental floss and toothpick

• Value pack multifunction oral kit

What’s not to like: Too small and may not be the most eco-friendly option

The Brushee 3in1 Oral Care kit is a pocket-sized toothbrush for quick and easy oral hygiene when you are on the go. The brush has medium bristles, but the dental pick may be a bit challenging to use since it’s short and very sharp so you need to be careful.

Toothbrush Accessories

In case your choice travel toothbrush lacks a head cover, don’t worry ‘cos we have some good options for you:

Steripod Clip-On Toothbrush Protector – this non-toxic, BPA-free-toothbrush with an easy clip-on cover comes with a tablet infused with peppermint essential oil leaving your toothbrush smelling fresh with a mint scent.

V-TOP Electric Toothbrush Head Cover – the V-Top toothbrush head cover is made of food-grade silicone designed with 5 vents for ventilation and available in packs of 5 or 10. It works for electric and manual toothbrushes.

Toothbrush Heads Dustproof Cover – this food-grade 6-pack toothbrush cover from Hsytek fits most Oral-B toothbrush heads, is snug, and comes with 3 ventilation holes to keep your toothbrushes dry.

Bril UV-C Toothbrush Sanitizer – this is a good option if you want to splurge and invest on a portable toothbrush sanitizer. The Bril UV-C sanitizer will keep your toothbrush 99.9 percent free of germs in a span of 3 minutes after every use. This is rechargeable and comes with a magnet disc that you can use to mount it on your wall.

10 Best Travel Electric Toothbrushes for Your Holiday in 2024

A list of 10 best travel toothbrushes on the market, including battery-powered Oral B, rechargeable Sonicare, and 10 most Frequently Asked Questions answered!

Taking care of our teeth is extremely important, and study after study in the field suggests the use of a top electric toothbrush is the best way to go for a better smile.

After testing multiple electric toothbrushes, I have found that the most crucial aspects to consider are their size, weight, and battery longevity, as they greatly affect their convenience and practicality for travel purposes.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best travel electric toothbrushes, thoroughly tested and evaluated for their portability, battery life, cleaning effectiveness, and durability.

Best Travel Electric Toothbrush

Philips sonicare diamondclean classic rechargeable toothbrush.

We start with a true classic – the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean. Some people, including me, use Philips as a travel toothbrush. It can really help you get a better cleaner teeth than a manual toothbrush, removing 7 times more plaque.

It has 5 brushing modes you can choose from, so it’s possible that you will only need this one toothbrush ever. It also has a 2-minute timer and a quad pacer to help you stay on top of the proper brushing.

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean has a sleek and stylish design, and its sonic technology provides a thorough and gentle clean that removes up to 10 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush.

The toothbrush also comes with multiple brush heads, a charging glass, and a travel case for easy portability. In my testing, the toothbrush also demonstrated impressive battery life, lasting up to 3 weeks on a single charge.

However, the batteries are lithium-polymer. While very good batteries overall, they cannot be taken on a plane in checked luggage, only carry-ons.

Here you can learn more if electric toothbrushes can be taken on a plane or not.

hum by Colgate Smart Battery Toothbrush Kit

This is the next level for Colgate-powered toothbrushes and travel toothbrushes in general.

The Bluetooth connectivity and companion app allows for personalized brushing habits and real-time feedback, which improved my oral hygiene routine.

It connects to an app on your phone and gives important information about your brushing habits, like spots that you may miss or places in your mouth that need extra brushing.

In my testing, I found the brush head to be gentle yet effective, and the AAA battery lasting up to 6 months was a convenient feature for travel. The toothbrush’s compact size and included travel case made it easy to pack and take on-the-go.

It comes in a very convenient hard case for travel, has 2 modes (normal and sensitive), and can reach up to 20,000 sonic vibrations per minute.

The only downside is that you need need to install an app to get everything this travel toothbrush has to offer: as you improve your brushing, it even gives you points that you can use for rewards.

Color Blue Brand Hum by Colgate Item Dimensions LxWxH 6.3 x 3.15 x 12.6 inches Item Weight 0.63 Pounds Age Range Adult

Philips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush

Having tested a range of electric toothbrushes, the Philips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush stands out as a superior choice for achieving a deeper clean.

Upon unboxing, I discovered that the toothbrush includes a stylish travel case and can be conveniently charged using a USB cable, making it an ideal option for travel.

It has all that the other Sonicare have: a 2-minute timer, with 30-second notifications, high-speed micro-vibrations, and you can just replace the toothbrush head, not the whole set.

The toothbrush also features a quad pacer timer, which helps me to ensure that I brush each section of my mouth evenly.

It’s rechargeable, which is great, but it has a lithium battery built-in, which is quite annoying since the Philips One is a slim electric toothbrush designed for travel, but I cannot take it on my European carry-on luggage .

Color Shadow Black Brand Philips Sonicare Power Source Corded Electric Item Weight 0.4 Pounds Operation Mode Manual Toothbrush

Colgate 360 Sonic Electric Toothbrush

This is one of the top-rated electric toothbrushes on Amazon, and with good cause: it’s the most affordable while maintaining decent quality. It is actually the best budget travel toothbrush if you want just a vibrating toothbrush and not a fancy one.

Our research indicates that is a simple, yet effective toothbrush that includes AAA battery-powered sonic strokes, and one button. The vibration is what removes plaque from the hard-to-reach areas in your mouth.

Also, due to its form factor and price, it’s safe to say that this is a good travel toothbrush to have if you want to go backpacking, hiking, camping, or traveling to places where the fancier toothbrush will get lost or stolen (yes, people do that).

Active Ingredients Water Color Clear Brand Colgate Power Source Battery Powered

quip Adult Smart Electric Toothbrush

Another classic in the vibrating toothbrush market. The quip is a smart toothbrush with an app, a 2-minute timer function, and 30-second notifications, and the app count points toward rewards.

Through our testing, we discovered that the travel cover of this toothbrush is fantastic, as it can easily stick to mirrors, glasses, and tiles.

The toothbrush’s sleek design is also noteworthy, and its use of AAA batteries makes it a convenient option for carry-on luggage while traveling.

The sensitive sonic vibrations help you get rid of the plaque, and the app helps you improve your dental health over time. It sits in the mid-range regarding price. Changing the AAA batteries can be a little harder than other options, however.

Slim Sonic Electric Toothbrush by Violife

People frequently ask: are electric toothbrushes waterproof? Well, not all of them. Actually, most are water-resistant, but not waterproof: you can get them wet, but not submerged. Not the Slim Sonic by Violife however.

As someone who has personally tried this travel toothbrush, I can confirm that it is fully waterproof and can be used without any issues in the shower.

The toothbrush’s precision bristles vibrate up to 22,000 times a minute, delivering a thorough and efficient clean. The toothbrush is also very well-made, ensuring durability during travel.

Looking like a mini toothbrush, it has a moisture-releasing vented cap, that apparently was made for travel. It is way smaller than other brushes and fits perfectly in your travel purse .

It uses AAA batteries, so they are fine for traveling anywhere. It comes with an additional brush head. There’s no app for this one, unfortunately.

Color Ocean Brand VIOlife Power Source Corded Electric, Battery Powered Item Dimensions LxWxH 1.5 x 2.5 x 6.75 inches Operation Mode Semi-Automatic

Oral-B 3D White Action Power Toothbrush

This is another budget option in our best travel electric toothbrush list.

Made by Oral-B, the 3D White Action Power comes at the same price as Colgate’s competitor above and has a similar design: with one button push, you get 14,000 strokes per minute to clean your teeth deeply.

The main difference we found stays in the battery types: this one uses a single AA battery; the other uses AAA batteries. Also, the design of the bristles and the brush itself is very different.

On this battery-operated cheap toothbrush, you can change the brush head with other Oral-B designs, which is a plus. It doesn’t come with a toothbrush holder.

Color White Brand Oral-B Power Source Battery Powered Item Dimensions LxWxH 2.17 x 1.34 x 9.45 inches Item Weight 0.1 Pounds

Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige Toothbrush

This is arguably the best-powered toothbrush, both the way it was designed to clean the teeth better, but also the way it functions with the SenseIQ technology.

After thoroughly testing the toothbrush, we found that its companion app, which is powered by A.I. technology, is a standout feature. The app senses your brushing habits and provides personalized feedback on how to improve your oral hygiene.

The toothbrush’s touch interface is user-friendly, and its one-touch controls make it simple to use. We believe that the toothbrush’s A.I. technology does an excellent job of adapting to your brushing habits, ensuring that you receive the best possible care for your teeth.

If you’re looking for a toothbrush that prioritizes oral health, this one can give you 15x healthier gums in only 6 weeks and is up to 20x better at removing plaque. It also comes with a fancy travel case and USB recharging cable.

You will be paying for all that, however, as this toothbrush is very expensive. It includes a lithium battery, so it can only be transported on a carry-on during a flight.

Color Midnight Brand Philips Sonicare Power Source Battery Powered Item Dimensions LxWxH 9.53 x 2.91 x 6.61 inches Item Weight 405 Grams

Oral-B Pro 1000 CrossAction Electric Toothbrush

Arguably the best Oral-B travel toothbrush in 2024, the Pro 1000 CrossAction is a double-function electric toothbrush: it rotates the bristles and pulsates the brush head. This way the toothbrush can accomplish 2 cleaning tasks at once.

We found really cool the pressure sensor that stops the pulsation if the brush is being pressed too hard against your gum. It’s not expensive, but not that cheap either: more of a mid-range priced toothbrush, perfect as a gift for your travel mate .

It’s a great model for your dental hygiene, but it doesn’t come with a travel case. It’s rechargeable with a lithium battery, so no checked luggage for this model either.

Color Black Brand Oral-B Power Source Battery Powered Model Name Oral B Pro 1000 Electric Toothbrush Item Dimensions LxWxH 4.33 x 2.17 x 9.96 inches

Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100

The Sonicare line is really great, and this one is no different: it’s a rechargeable toothbrush, with a 2-minute timer, 30-second notification, and the longest battery life in the category (14 days).

It comes in 4 colors, so you can choose the looks of your travel toothbrush. It has a pressure sensor and a brush head replacement reminder. It doesn’t come with a travel bag, unfortunately, and it’s lithium-powered.

• 13 Best Electric Toothbrushes for…

These days, there are many options for the best electric toothbrush for travel available out there. All of them promise superior cleaning power over manual solutions. From a traveler’s point of view, this is great. It’s a way to maintain oral health that doesn’t take much time during our trips. This means you can focus more on planning an itinerary, doing research for accommodations, and other things you need to do to make your traveling experience impeccable.

The travel electric toothbrush offers all the basic features of its regular counterpart. The difference is, it comes in a compact package that’s easy to carry around and doesn’t take up much space in your suitcase or bag. Additionally, these devices usually come with a USB cable and a rechargeable battery.

But with so many options out there, where should you start? Well, to help you decide, we’ve put together a list of the 13 best electric toothbrushes for travel. But before that, here are some useful tips you need to know first.

How to Choose The Best Electric Toothbrush for Travel

While they all offer similar basic functionality, there are some extra features that you might want to check out. We’re talking about stroke motion, brush heads, cleaning modes, timers, and more. All of these things are very important because they will affect the level of comfort, especially for those who have sensitive teeth and gums. You definitely don’t want to experience bleeding gums on vacation, do you? So without further ado, here are a few factors you should consider in choosing your best electric toothbrush for travel.

Stroke Motion

You can choose between rotating/oscillating and sonic/ultrasonic. The former can produce up to 7,500 brush strokes per minute. It runs in a circle, making it easy to remove plaque from any angle.

Meanwhile, those with sonic/ultrasonic can produce 5,000 brush strokes per minute, along with vibrations that move the head back and forth. While this keeps plaque away, it’s not recommended for those with sensitive teeth.

Those with sensitive teeth should use an electric toothbrush head with an extra soft bristle texture. While for those whose teeth don’t need extra care, soft or medium ones will do. On the other hand, you also need to consider the size of the brush head. For example, little kids will be more comfortable using smaller ones.

Some electric toothbrushes come with a timer that lets you know how long you’ve been brushing your teeth. This way you can ensure that you’ve carried out your dental routine for no less than two minutes, as recommended by dentists. Talk about convenience!

Cleaning Mode

For extra cleanliness, you might want to check out the electric toothbrush that comes with high speed, polish, and whitening modes. Others offer an adjustment option for mild brushing, which is perfect for those with sensitive teeth. Afterall, there’s no harm in optimizing your dental health. So, you might want to consider buying an electric power flosser , too.

Fairywill P11

The Fairywill P11 comes with a steady grip, making it easy to reach from all angles. There is a ‘hidden display’ system that keeps the brush heads exposed to germs. Furthermore, all safety standards in this product are approved by the ADA.

If you’re looking for superior cleaning, look no further. Fairywill P11 is equipped with 3rd generation Maglev Motor which can deliver up to 62,000 strokes in one cycle! You should be able to get cleaner and whiter teeth with less effort.

When it comes to power, the Fairywill P11 is equipped with an 800mAh lithium battery that can be fully charged in two hours. It promises a usage time of approximately 30 days. They also include a USB cable, but not the wall outlet.

In case you’re wondering about additional brush heads, Fairywill includes eight DuPont brush heads. You’ll also get a travel case that can fit two brush heads. Perfect for those planning a trip as a couple. Best of all, these accessories are included for free!

What We Love

The power of the 3rd generation Maglev Motor makes cleaning teeth faster and more efficient.

• 800mAh battery, fully charged in two hours
• Come with eight different brush heads
• Travel case included
• IPX7 waterproof
• ADA approved
• Some of you may think this is too expensive

Philips Sonicare 6500

Philips Sonicare 6500 promises whiter teeth in just one week. It has a special sensor to alert you when you brush too hard. Best of all, you’ll also get a reminder to let you know when it’s time to replace the brush head!

For those with sensitive teeth, Philips allows you to customize the brushing experience with three different settings. You can choose between Clean, White, or Gum Care. In addition, there’s a timer to remind you to brush your teeth for two minutes, just as recommended by dentists.

Philips includes a ‘premium travel case’ which is claimed to keep toothbrushes hygienic during long trips. The design is quite smart, integrated with a USB cable. This means that the toothbrush will remain safe in the case while you’re charging it.

When it comes to battery life, you’re guaranteed to get up to two weeks of usage on a single charge! However please note that this will only happen under normal use (two minutes and twice a day). If you’re confused about which best electric toothbrush for travel to choose, this one is quite recommended.

An electric toothbrush that can help you avoid brushing too hard.

• A pressure sensor

• Three intensity modes
• Two-minute timer
• Two-week battery life
• Not recommended for use in the shower or bathtub

Spoly Electric Toothbrush

You might call this a powerful toothbrush since the Spoly Electric Toothbrush can deliver no less than 40,000 strokes per minute! They also use high-speed vibration technology, which claims to clean plaque 300% more efficiently.

Spoly comes with five different cleaning modes: Whitening, Clean, Sensitive, Polish, and Massage. In addition, there’s still a built-in two-minute timer and sensors that remind you to change the brushing area every 30 seconds. If that’s not enough, you’ll also get the added bonus of eight sonic brush heads, two interdental brush heads, and two bristle protective covers.

When it comes to power, Spoly Electric Toothbrush uses a USB cable with fast-charging support. With just five minutes of charging, you can use this device for a full day. However, for a four-hour charge, you’ll get a total usage time of 30 days. Amazing!

Another thing we love about this product is its design. It’s sleek, stylish, and modern. Moreover, the body is also durable because of its IPX7 waterproofing. Since the overall dimensions are quite compact, this toothbrush is easy to carry around and won’t take up much space in a travel bag.

High-speed vibration technology for more efficient cleaning.

• Sonic technology offering 40,000 strokes per minute
• Five cleaning modes

• Some may find it buzzing ‘aggressively’

Meafeng Gevilan Travel Toothbrush

Those who prefer to pack lightly will probably like this one. Meafeng Gevilan Travel Toothbrush comes in a portable design. Only about 16cm long, it’s no bigger than a lipstick. This makes it ideal to carry when traveling.

Using Sonic Technology, Meafeng Gevilan is able to provide 18,000 strokes per minute. Apart from that, there are two cleaning modes: Clean and Sensitive. The great thing is, for all these functions the device only requires one AAA battery and can be used for 30 days!

In case you are wondering about comfort, Meafeng only uses premium accessories. You’ll get brush heads with bristle texture from DuPont, which ensures thorough cleaning and gentle massage. Charming teeth and gums on the go is no longer a dream!

With all the practicality it offers, this electric toothbrush for travel is a must-have. It will make a great complement to other useful items such as a travel bag with a water bottle holder .

Portable design, no bigger than a lipstick.

• Portable design
• 18,000 strokes per minute
• Two cleaning modes
• One AAA battery for 30 days
• It may be difficult to find a replacement brush head

Voom Sonic Go 1 Series

Bring the luxury of an effective dentist-like cleaning to your home! With Voom Sonic Go 1 Series , you can get 22,000 strokes and vibrations per minute. It also has a two-minute timer and quadrant pacer. There’s no need to put in so much effort just for clean and bright teeth.

Voom Sonic Go 1 Series comes with a portable design. Only 6.5″ long, this electric toothbrush is very easy to carry to the gym, the office, or traveling. The head is equipped with a vented cap, so it’s completely protected from germs.

This electric toothbrush is powered by a single AAA battery. While we do understand that this isn’t as powerful as a rechargeable electric brush, consider it as a travel-friendly option. Just imagine, when the power runs out you just need to insert a new battery. This obviously takes less time than waiting for a full charge for hours right?

Compact design with vented cap for added protection from germs.

• 22,000 strokes per minute
• Vented cap 
• Additional brush head included
• Some may find this too soft

Oral-B Prohealth Power Toothbrush

This AA battery-powered electric brush offers a plaque removal solution on the go. That’s because the Oral-B Prohealth Power Toothbrush comes with a replaceable brush head, which promises deeper reach and precision cleaning. They claim its much more effective than a manual toothbrush.

Many dentists recommend brushing for two minutes for maximum cleaning. Unfortunately, most people tend to be in a hurry, especially when traveling or going to the office. However, using Oral-B Prohealth, the problem will be completely resolved. That’s because this device comes with a timer that makes the brush automatically turn off after 120 seconds. Hello, clean and charming teeth!

Regarding power, this electric toothbrush is powered by two AA batteries. This is included in the sales package, although you can easily find other alternatives on the market. While Oral-B doesn’t mention usage time, we’re pretty sure you can use this brush up for at least two weeks before doing a battery replacement.

Oral-B Prohealth is probably one of the simplest yet effective options, making it the best electric toothbrush for travel. It also has a timer to remind you to brush your teeth for at least two minutes.

Great solution for maintaining oral hygiene on the go.

• AA battery powered
• Precision cleaning
• Compatible with other Oral-B products
• It’s hard to remove the battery

Quip Electric Toothbrush

Quip Electric Toothbrush comes with a clever design. It has a glass stand which also doubles as a travel cover. The whole body itself is waterproof, so you don’t need to worry about taking it anywhere.

Meanwhile, if the lower part is pressed, you’ll reveal a hidden flosser! The marks on it help you ensure to use just enough. Enjoy the smell of fresh natural mint, which of course is SLS free. Furthermore, this has also been approved by the ADA.

What we love the most is the integration with the Smart Brush application. You can use it to connect multiple brushes. There’s also track and coach information for better brushing habits. Best of all, you’ll get regular announcements about free products, promotions, and discounts.

The motor on the Quip Electric Toothbrush is powered by AAA batteries. While it’s not as powerful as a wired toothbrush, you can easily replace it on the go.

When it comes to the usage time, they promise that you won’t need a new battery for three months. Sounds like a bold claim, but it will definitely come in handy if you don’t have much time to charge during the trip.

Overall, among all the best electric toothbrushes for travel out there, this one ticks all the boxes. It’s small, easy to carry, and most importantly, works great.

Clever design with hidden flosser at the bottom.

• Hidden flosser

Sonicety Electric Toothbrush

If you prefer practicality over power, opt for a battery-powered brush like the Sonicety Electric Toothbrush . Once the power runs out, just replace it with a new one. No matter where you go, it shouldn’t be that difficult to find a AAA battery.

Sonicety uses sonic technology to generate 23,000 brush strokes per minute. This may not sound impressive but should be more than enough for thorough dental cleaning on the go.

When it comes to portability, this toothbrush is lightweight and easy to carry around. You don’t have to worry about carrying it everywhere because the body is IPX7 waterproofed.

For those who worry about extra brush heads, Sonicety provides two of them for free. Some reviews say it’s difficult to find other brush head alternatives. We’re not really sure, but we can guarantee you won’t need a new one for at least three months.

It’s small and comes in a variety of cute design patterns!

• Small design
• 23,000 strokes per minute

HIEIE Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Among our list of the best toothbrushes for travel, this one arguably has it all. HIEIE Sonic Electric Toothbrush comes with five cleaning modes: Clean, Bright White, Cool White, Sensitive, and Massage. In addition, there are three different settings for sensitive teeth and gums.

The device also features a quadrant pacer that reminds you to switch brushing areas every 30 seconds, a two-minute timer with an auto-off feature, and a memory function that remembers the last mode used.

Brush head quality is the last thing to worry about from the HIEIE Sonic Electric Toothbrush. That’s because they use the bristle texture from DuPont. We certainly don’t need to mention that this name has been associated with high-quality nylon brushes for years. Not only is it convenient, but it also ensures more efficient cleaning and healthier gums.

The HIEIE battery takes 7-10 hours before it is fully charged. In this scenario, you should be able to get up to 30 days of usage time (twice a day). For convenience, there are three indicators for low, moderate, or full battery conditions. This will make it easy to determine when to recharge while traveling.

If you’re planning a trip to LA , Arizona, or elsewhere and want to pack lightly, this electric toothbrush for travel won’t disappoint. It’s sleek, feature-packed, and affordable.

YFO Sonic Toothbrush

They say that once you use an electric toothbrush, you can’t go back. That’s especially true if you’re using a powerful device like the TFO Sonic Toothbrush . It has five cleaning modes (Standard, Clean, Whitening, Massage, and Soft) and intensity settings. Happy with the current mode? Just press and hold the power button for eight seconds to lock it!

TFO has a timer to make sure you brush your teeth for two minutes, as recommended by dental experts. Meanwhile, the quadrant pacer will remind you to change the cleaning area every 30 seconds. In order to ensure total cleaning, there’s a sonic motor that can provide up to 38,000 brush strokes per minute.

For those of you who value durability, this toothbrush comes with an IPX8 waterproof body. You can use it while taking a shower. Bringing it to the river, lake, or even the sea won’t be a problem either.

The TFO doesn’t say anything about battery capacity, but they do guarantee 100 days of standby time on a fully charged state. This makes it the perfect toothbrush for a long vacation or business trip. They also include a charging USB cable that claims to be compatible with most wall chargers.

The pair is claimed to be able to loosen plaque, making it much easier to clean. Coupled with the ability to provide 22,000 brush strokes per minute, it’s one of the best solutions for maintaining oral health on the go.

Another feature we would like to mention is the quadrant pacer and built-in timer. The former reminds you to switch cleaning areas at 30-second intervals, while the latter ensures you brush your teeth for two minutes – a standard that many dentists recommend.

Out of everything on our recommended list of the best electric toothbrush for travel, this one isn’t very portable but fully featured. Apart from the main device, you’ll also get two brush heads, one AAA battery, and a user guide.

Just like most electric toothbrushes, it also comes with a built-in timer. This will remind you to brush for two minutes – a standard that many dentists recommend.

Furthermore, Hum also has its own integrated application. You’ll get information about frequency, duration, and coverage. The app will also recommend a specific challenge or program according to your brushing habits. What’s more, every time you complete your dental routine, you’ll earn points that can be redeemed in the app shop!

Top 7 Travel Electric Toothbrushes Review 2024

Oral-B Genius Pro 8000

• 3D Cleaning Action: oscillates, rotates, and pulsates
• Case: smart travel case with extra USB port included
• Work time: up to 12 days on a single charge
• Timer: 2-minute timer and 30-second intervals
• Brushing modes: Daily Clean, Gum Care, Sensitive, Whitening, Pro Clean, and Tongue Cleaning
• Warranty: limited 2-year

More features: Dual-voltage Smart Charger, multifunctional 360º SmartRing, pressure sensor, Bluetooth compatible

Not only is this the best oscillating toothbrush out there, it just might be the best travel electric toothbrush on the market today. First of all, the case is absolutely exquisite. It is simple, elegant, and big enough to hold all of the necessary components securely.

The actual brush is equally well designed. It comes with a variety of different brush heads, which will allow you to get the exact kind of clean you desire. The brush also offers multiple different cleaning modes.

The best part of the brush, however, has to be its three-dimensional cleaning action. Not only does the brush head oscillate just like a dentist’s brush, but it also rotates and pulsates. This allows it to get to all of those hard to reach areas in your mouth that other brushes miss. This different action also makes it more likely that when the brush reaches those problem areas, it won’t leave anything behind, no matter if it is a piece of food or built up plaque.

• Triple action cleaning
• Dual voltage USB charger
• Multiple brushing modes
• Tongue cleaning option
• Travel case with extra USB
• Short battery life

Voom Sonic Go 1 Series

• Tech: sonic technology
• Case: travel case and wall charger included
• Work time: up to 2 weeks on a single charge
• Timer: 30-second timer
• Strokes per minute: 22,000
• Brushing modes: Normal, Whitening, Massage
• Warranty: none

More features: dual voltage with adaptor, two brush heads included

This is by far one of the cheapest models out there, so if you are operating on a tight budget, then this might be the brush for you. But don’t let its cheap price tag fool you into thinking that this is a poorly made brush. The first thing that jumps out at you with this brush is its well-made and expertly designed carrying case. It holds everything that you need, which includes the brush, multiple heads, UV sanitizer, and the dual voltage charger and adapter.

This brush will allow you to work in several different cleaning modes, with the most intense having an upper range of about 22,000 strokes per minute. This will allow you to get a nice deep clean on your teeth. The timer is also a nice feature, as this will help to guide you towards the correct amount of time that you need to brush to get your teeth as clean as possible. If you’re looking for more  budget-friendly options, check out the best electric toothbrushes under $50 .

• High strokes per minute
• Different modes
• Includes brush heads
• UV sanitizer
• Dual voltage
• No warranty

Fairywill Sonic Electric Toothbrush

• Case: travel case
• Work time: up to 30 days on one charge
• Timer: 2 min timer
• Brushing modes: Whitening, Clean, Sensitive, Massage, Polish
• Strokes per minute: 40,000
• Warranty: 1-year

More features: comes with 8 DUPONT heads, takes 4 hours to charge

What we love about Fairywill 508 Sonic Whitening Electric Toothbrush is the fact that it comes with 8 DuPont Brush Heads, with 2 hard bristles and 6 soft bristles. Additionally, the “W” shape of the brush heads fit the teeth topography and the gums. We also love the fact that the package is provided with a customed hard shell BPA-free plastic travel case. It is useful to protect your brush heads and electric toothbrush handle.

But, that is not the best part of this brush. It can be used on many different speed and intensity settings. One of the settings, which the company has labeled as Massage, is just that for your teeth, a massage. This makes this the go-to choice for anyone that suffers from sensitive gums or tooth pain, and is also a great electric toothbrush for receding gums. This setting will still clean your teeth very well, but it will do it in the gentlest way possible, making this a fantastic electric toothbrush for kids.

• 5 cleaning modes
• Powerful Sonic Whitening Cleaning
• Remove plaque
• Bristles support teeth topography
• Does not come with an adapter to plug the USB cord
• Lacks pressure-sensor

Oclean One Smart Sonic Electric Toothbrush

• Case: travel case and magnet charging base included
• Work time: up to 60 days on one charge
• Timer: six time settings
• Brushing modes: Clean, White, and Massage
• Strokes per minute: 42,000

More features: four intensity settings, Bluetooth compatible

Now, if you are new to the world of electric toothbrushes and you are just looking for a simple, straightforward, and easy to use brush, this might be the right choice for you. It offers a gigantically long (60 days!) battery life, which makes it ideal for the forgetful traveler. It also will allow you to set a timer for six different lengths of time.

This brush also offers plenty of different cleaning modes and intensity settings, making it ideal for pretty much every type of mouth and will allow you to get pretty much any type of clean you desire. At its highest intensity setting, it offers about 42,000 strokes per minute.

The biggest downside to this otherwise wonderful brush is the travel case. While it is slim and easy to carry, it is relatively flimsy. If you select this brush, you will want to make sure that the case is nowhere near the exterior of your bags. If it is, the odds are that you will find a broken case once you reach your destination.

• Long battery life
• Timer with six different intervals
• Flimsy travel case

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean

• Case: charging glass and USB charging travel case
• Work time: up to three weeks (or 42 uses) on a single charge
• Timer: 2-minute Smartimer and Quadpacer beeping in 30-second intervals
• Brushing modes: Clean, White, Polish, GumCare, Sensitive
• Strokes per minute: 31,000
• Warranty: 2-year

More features: two brush heads included, illuminated display

Philips has long been among the number one brands when it comes to electronic toothbrushes, and for a good reason. Their brushes are easy to use, easy to clean, and provide you with a supremely clean mouth. Such is the case for the DiamondClean. This electric toothbrush was built with travel in mind. It comes with an easy to carry case, which carries everything that you need to keep your brush up and running.

The brush itself is easy to use and will allow you to use the brush in multiple modes, depending on the clean that you need. What really stands out about this brush, though, is its long battery life. On a single charge, this brush will last you a good three weeks! That is over 42 uses.

The only real downside to this brush is that it only has a strokes per minute, even on its highest setting, of around 30,000. While this might sound like a ton, in the electric toothbrush world, it is on the low side.

• Brush heads included
• Multiple brush modes
• Charging glass looks fancy
• Low strokes per minute

Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum

• Case: deluxe travel case, hygienic travel cap, and multi-voltage travel charger included
• Brushing modes: Clean, White, Deep Clean
• Intensity settings: Low, Medium, High

More features: 1 AdaptiveClean brush head included, intuitive pressure sensor

This is, without a doubt, one of the best sonic electric toothbrushes. While it does not have a high level of strokes per minute, it more than makes up for it in other ways. First off, it has ridiculously long battery life. On just one charge, this brush will last you about three weeks, making it perfect for an extended vacation.

Secondly, the Sonicare allows you to select from several different cleaning modes depending on the clean you are going for. You can customize your brushing experience even further by selecting one of three different intensity levels as well. They also added a simple, easy to use a timer, which makes brushing for the right amount of time simple.

Finally, the travel case is top notch. It can easily hold all of the necessary components securely, making it one less thing you have to worry about on your travels. The charger is also set up perfectly for travel, as it can be used with a wide variety of voltages. This is a great  electric toothbrush for braces , so make sure to make sure to check this model out if you have them.

• Multi-voltage charger
• Different intensity settings
• Pressure sensor
• Only one brush head included

Allegro Self-Sterilizing Sonic Electric Toothbrush

• Case: travel case with four functions: UV sterilization, drying, inductive charging, portability
• Timer: 2-minute timer
• Strokes per minute: 30,000

More features: micro-USB charging port, three brushing modes

This toothbrush is one of the easiest to maintain electric toothbrushes on the market. This is due to its advanced casing system. While all travel brushes come with some case, this is one of the only ones that is used for cleaning, disinfecting, and drying your brush. Basically, this case helps you to make sure that your brush is clean and ready to go every time that you use it automatically, which is a huge time saver.

Now, not everything about this case is all good either. While it does clean the brush for you, it isn’t very durably built. If you select this brush, you need to make sure that you stow it deep within your luggage. Otherwise, you will go to brush your teeth at your destination and find a broken case.

This brush is also a little underpowered, clocking in at a maximum of 30,000 strokes per minute. This should still be enough to get your teeth clean and will help with battery life as well. The brush will last up to 30 days on a single charge, which is great for traveling.

• High-tech travel case for disinfection and drying
• Travel case is somewhat flimsy
• Short warranty
• Things to Consider

As you would expect, there are several key features that you need to take into account when you are searching for the best travel electric toothbrush. In this section, we will cover everything that you need to know to assure yourself that you are getting the right brush for your traveling needs.

• Travel case

It only makes sense that the very first thing that you need to take into account for a portable electric toothbrush would be the case, right? When you are looking at all of your different options, this is one of the most crucial. If you get a low-quality case, before you know it, it’s going to break down and fail you. This will increase the likelihood you losing some important piece to your toothbrush, which is just not acceptable.

So, when you are looking at your options, look for a case that is built with high-quality materials and a large zipper. This will ensure that the case won’t break down and fall apart on you when you are on the road. You could also get another more substantial case in addition to the one that comes with your brush.

Charging options

Electric toothbrushes do not need to be plugged in all of the time, which is what makes them so ideal for traveling. They will, however, need to be charged from time to time. To do this, you have several different options.

There are two different types of charging cords you can use for a toothbrush, which are listed below.

USB  – A toothbrush that uses a USB cord to charge is quite convenient. Odds are, you already have the type of USB plug and wall charger handy from one of your other devices, making this an ideal way to charge your brush. Or you could just connect it to your laptop or inverter, depending on your needs.

Plug  – A brush that uses a standard plug cord to charge is convenient too, though it does have one glaring problem that a USB charger doesn’t. Since USB chargers are readily available, they are easy to replace. A plug charger for your model of electric toothbrush might not be so easy to change, and if you travel abroad, you might need to have an adapter with you.

• Dealing with different voltages

If you are going to be traveling to different countries, you will find that they do not use the same voltages or plugs that we do in the USA. You have two options to help prepare you for this eventuality.

Adapter  – A plug adapter and voltage converter can help you adapt to multiple different voltages, which makes it the perfect travel companion for someone who is a globetrotter.

Dual-voltage  – A dual voltage product is exactly what it sounds like. You can operate it on both 110V and 220V. In that case, you only need a plug adapter to switch between different plug types to ensure that you are using the correct one for wherever you might find yourself in your travels.

In the world of electric toothbrushes, there are two different brush styles to choose from. You can either select an oscillating brush, which rotates, or a sonic brush that vibrates back and forth. Both of these brush types will give your mouth a good cleaning, so it is really up to personal preference as to which brush type you choose to use.

• Long-lasting battery

Even though you want to make sure that you have a charger at the ready for when you need it, you also want to look for a toothbrush that has long battery life. That way, if you don’t have time to charge your brush because you are running late for your flight, you won’t need to worry about whether or not your brush will be ready to go once you reach your destination.

• Extra brush heads

Let’s face it, electric toothbrushes are more expensive than a regular toothbrush. They are also much more effective than a standard brush, but only if they have a high-quality brush head attached.

That is why you need to be sure that whatever model of brush you select comes with some extra brush heads. That way, you will always be able to get a high-quality brush, even when you are traveling.

These extra brush heads will be also very helpful if you’re traveling not alone and are sharing your brush with someone else. With some extra brush heads, you don’t have to buy these by yourself.

• Built-in timer

A built-in timer is by no means a must-have feature of an electric toothbrush. Instead, you should think of it as a wonderful perk that you really should consider investing in. One of the biggest causes of tooth decay and gum disease, aside from not brushing at all, is not brushing for long enough.

By getting a brush that offers you a timer, you will be able to make sure that you are brushing for the optimal amount of time. That way, you won’t need to spend a ton of money and lots of time at your dentist when you get back from your trip.

This high-tech cleaning option is a great way to guarantee that your brush head is as clean as possible. Basically, the way that it works is that after you rinse out your brush as you normally would, you insert the head into the UV toothbrush sanitizer . From there, ultraviolet light beams are used to kill and eliminate germs and bacteria from growing on your brush.

This will help the brush head to last a lot longer, which in turn will save you money. Plus, it will help to keep your mouth a lot cleaner and keep you from getting sick on your trip. Talk about a win-win situation!

• Waterproof capability

Obviously, it wouldn’t make any sense to get an electric toothbrush that isn’t also waterproof. That way, it will be safe to utilize your toothbrush in the shower, which is a big timesaver. This will also make it much easier to clean, since you can just run it right under the faucet to rinse it off after each use.

Even more important, however, is that this waterproofing will help to keep you, and your toothbrush, that much safer. Without any waterproofing, the odds are that the brush will either short out on you or shock you. Neither of these outcomes is ideal, so make sure the brush you choose is waterproof.

• Easy to Maintain

Now, this should be an absolute no-brainer. The easier a brush is to clean, the more likely you are to clean it. The more often you clean the brush, the longer it will last, which will then save you money, since you won’t need to buy a new brush anytime soon.

Also, since this is a toothbrush for travel after all, who wants to spend their whole vacation cleaning up their toothbrush? The less time you spend cleaning up the brush, the more time you will have to enjoy yourself on your trip.

Hopefully, after reading through this article, you now know everything that you need to to make sure that you can get your hands on the best travel electric toothbrush available. Be sure to pay close attention to the quality of the case, the brush action, and how to charge the brush. Believe us, once you have tried out an electric toothbrush, you will never want to use a standard one again, especially when you are traveling! Good luck!

What is the best electric toothbrush for traveling purposes?

It is difficult to select a single electric toothbrush as the best, because it all depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re after the best bang for your buck, the reasonably-priced Fairywill P11 is a great choice. When it comes to whitening, the best travel electric toothbrush is the Wagner Switzerland Whiten+ Edition, thanks to its 2 specialized whitening modes. For something a little more fashionable, but that still does a great job at cleaning your teeth, you might want to look at the beautifully-designed Atmoko Black Series.

Can I bring an electric toothbrush on the plane?

The simple answer is YES! In accordance with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you are allowed to take your electric toothbrush both in your carry-on and in your checked bags.

Can toothpaste go in hand luggage?

According to the TSA, along with your electric toothbrush, you can also take toothpaste in your hand luggage, as long as it’s less than 3.4 oz/100 ml.

What kind of toothbrush should I use?

Choosing the right kind of toothbrush all depends on your needs. If you are dealing with plaque, electric toothbrushes are much more effective at cleaning it. On the other hand, if you have sensitive gums, it is better to stick to soft bristles. One of the most important factors isn’t the kind of toothbrush you use, but the amount of time you spend brushing. Thankfully, nowadays, most electric toothbrushes come with a 2-minute timer to indicate that you’re done brushing.

How quick can I charge an electric toothbrush?

Of course, this all depends on the model you’re using, but generally, most electric toothbrushes these days take around 15 hours to charge, but after that, they last for around 3 weeks to a month. If you hate slow-charging devices, we highly recommend the Fairywill P11 that only needs a 2-hour charge to run for a whole month!

Do electric toothbrushes damage teeth?

It would be a lie to claim that there is zero risk of damaging your teeth with an electric toothbrush, but this is not due to the brush itself, but more due to the temptation to push a little too hard while using these devices. To deal with this issue, some electric toothbrushes, such as the Oral-B Genius Pro 8000, include a pressure sensor system that will let you know when you’re pushing too hard in order to protect your pearly whites.

So, these are 10 of the best travel electric toothbrushes on the market today. Thanks to their compact cases, these toothbrushes are easy to pack, and their long battery life will ensure you don’t need to charge them if you’re going on a short holiday. Many of these feature advanced technology, with one that even offers facial recognition linked to your iPhone to know exactly which areas you’ve brushed! Nowadays, toothbrushes are definitely not what they were in the past, and there is an abundance of options out there. So, we hope that our list has made your choice easier!

Something I have wondering about- Are rechargeable toothbrushes only allowed in carry-on bags? I ask because of the lithium battery.

Hi Cassie, thank you for your question. If the battery is lithium, you’ll have to carry at least the battery with you in a bag to comply with TSA requirements: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/lithium-batteries-more-100-watt-hours You may also find this article helpful: https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/packsafe/more_info/?hazmat=7 Hope this helps answer your question.
