I have a tendency to get into bed and realize that I forgot to brush my teeth. Since, I am dealing with 100, 80 to 50 feet of oxygen breathing tubes that go with me almost everywhere in the house, and I just got comfortable, have my book, my shawl on and have place all the Anchie Crystal pouches on the places that hurt, I don't run to the bathroom. Running is not an option anymore.So these are wonderful. You want to have them on hand if you end up in the hospital. For that unexpected trip and stay, you need a towel, wash cloth, soap, Toothettes and whatever else. Been there done that, but did not have Anything ready to go. He who shall remain nameless and is a friend would never be able to gather up what I needed.I actually like these much better than the toothbrush and toothpaste (tooth powder is better). Toothettes don't have a taste, are faster to use and do a better job. If you have dentures, they work on those as well.
