There is nothing quite like soaking in a warm bath after a long day. If you’ve ever thought about knocking out your nighttime dental routine while you lounge in the bubbles, you’ve probably wondered: "Is it safe to submerge my electric toothbrush in the bathtub?"
As an oral care brand, we believe your routine should be as flexible as you are. The short answer is yes, but only if your toothbrush has the right technical specs to handle a deep soak.
Submersible vs. Water-Resistant: What’s the Difference?
When you’re in the bathtub, the risk of dropping your brush into the water is much higher than at the sink. This is where the IPX7 waterproof rating becomes your best friend.
-
Water-Resistant: These brushes can handle a splash, but a drop into the bathtub might kill the motor.
-
Submersible (IPX7): These devices are rigorously tested to be fully submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. If your brush slips out of your hand into the tub, an IPX7 rating ensures it stays perfectly functional.
Why KIWIBIRD K5 Electric Toothbrush is Your Perfect Bath Companion
We’ve engineered our signature sonic toothbrush to be the ultimate worry-free tool for your "me-time." Here is how our features make it safe and effective for bathtub use:
-
Fully Submersible Design: Our brush features a hermetically sealed handle with an IPX7 rating, making it completely safe for even the longest, deepest baths.
-
300 Days of Runtime: Bathrooms are humid. Because our brush lasts for 300 days on a single 6-hour charge, you can keep your charging base in a dry room all year long. This eliminates the danger of having charging cables near your bathtub.
-
Quiet Patented Sonic Motor: Don't let a loud buzzing ruin your zen. Our motor provides a quiet brushing experience while delivering high-frequency vibrations for deep plaque removal.
-
Smart Pressure Sensor: If you’re leaning back and lose track of how hard you’re brushing, our sensor automatically adjusts vibration intensity to protect your gums and prevent tooth sensitivity.
-
Dual-layer Bristles: Our soft, dual-layer bristles are gentle on gums, ensuring that even your relaxed bath-time brush is a thorough, professional-level clean.
Bath-Time Brushing Pro-Tips
To keep your brush (and your bath) in top shape, follow these simple steps:
-
Rinse After Bath Salts: If you use bath salts or oils, give your toothbrush handle a quick rinse under the tap afterward to prevent the seals from drying out or becoming slippery.
-
Vertical Storage: After your bath, store your brush upright in a dry area. This allows the water to drain away from the seal and helps the dual-layer bristles air-dry.
-
Check Your Seals: Occasionally check the bottom of your brush to ensure the charging port cover is tightly closed before getting into the water.
The Verdict
You don't have to choose between relaxation and a clean smile. With a fully waterproof, 300-day runtime sonic brush, you can soak as long as you want without worrying about your tech.
