I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question, but the apts I've rented always had some place to stick them! This one doesn't?

Where would I get something like that? Thanks.

How embarrasing.

Thanks for your help, everyone!

Sara, our house has 3 bathrooms & none had towel rods, toothrush holders or soap holders. We wnet to Home Depot & bought cheap ones in stainless steel that look very nice. But, u have to be handy. DH has a drill & the special piece to drill thru tiles.

Tile is trickey to drill through, a person cancrack the tiles G-d forbid.

I just want something to put near the sink or on the shelf next to it.

I suppose if I needed a lot of stuff it would have been a no-brainer; when I was shopping I would have noticed it.

I didn't need that much when we moved.......

ive actually read in a few places that is unsanitary to leave toothbrushes out in the open air of your bathroom uncovered. . .

WHEN TOOTHBRUSH IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE TOILET

Keep toothbrushes two to five feet from the toilet. And keep your toilet seat cover down. Toothbrushes have been found to be vulnerable to "airborne bacteria" such as the E-coli, which can be passed in tiny water droplets from a flushing toilet to a toothbrush in the same bathroom.

In smaller bathrooms, store your toothbrush in a medicine cabinet, or in a cap/storage container (with holes), and keep it as far away from the toilet as possible. It's important to remember if using a separate container/cap that it must have holes in it. Closed containers will make the brush stay moist, enaling bacteria to grow.

If you are renting I don't think you should drill trough the tiles as it is not your home, but if you use a glass/tile bit it is actually a very simple thing to do without damaging the tiles.

Might sound weird but we keep the toothbrushes and toothpaste in a cup near the kitchen sink, or in the medicane cabinet.

Brushing teeth in the kitchen sink is the grossest thing.

in our old apt that we were renting the toothbursh holder that was attached to the wall was way to small for out toothbrushes, I guess they made the brushes thinner back then. we just kept them in a cup inside the mesicine cabinet. I have also heard that they should be ke[t far away from the toilet because when you flush the toilet things to spurt up and its very unhealthy, so dont keep anything open around it not even qtips
