A flosser cartridge including a body having a peripheral wall with first and second ends, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. A cleaning tip extends longitudinally outwardly from the body's first end and a groove or a ridge is provided on an exterior surface of the peripheral wall. The groove or ridge is configured to engage a complementary ridge or groove on a cradle of a dental device into which the cartridge is loaded. A bore originates in an opening in the second end of the cartridge body and extends inwardly towards the first end thereof. A stack of identical flosser cartridges are loaded into the cradle one above the other. The first region and cleaning tip of a lower cartridge in the stack is received with the bore of an upper cartridge located immediately above the lower cartridge.

A toothbrush device includes a detachably attached toothbrush head. The device includes a handle having a compartment therein for storing replacement toothbrush heads. The handle has a first section and a second section detachably connected together to form the compartment. The replacement toothbrush heads are detachably secured to the second section of the handle. The user can detach the second section from the first section to access the replacement toothbrush heads such that the user can replace the toothbrush head in the toothbrush head holder with a replacement toothbrush head, when desired.

A plurality of mass-produced versatile toothbrush refills for a secure removable engagement with a plurality of mass-produced non-identical toothbrush handles including handles of electric toothbrushes and handles of manual toothbrushes. Each of the refills comprises: a proximal and distal ends opposite thereto and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end; a cleaning head with a plurality of cleaning elements adjacent to the distal end; and a neck extending from the cleaning head and terminating at the proximal end. The neck has a wall defining a cavity for receiving a handle engagement structure of any one of the toothbrush handles. The refill includes a refill engagement structure configured to form the secure removable engagement with the handle engagement structure.

An interdental brush realizing reuse of parts by a simple structure includes a shaft portion including an internal passage which extends in an axial direction and of which distal end and base end are opened; and a brush on which fibers are implanted over an entire area of a core that is longer than extension length of the internal passage. The shaft portion further includes a grip portion of which a state is changed between a gripping state for gripping the brush, which has been inserted into the internal passage from an opening on a base end side and of which a part protrudes from an opening on a distal end side, to restrict the brush from moving in the axial direction, and a releasing state for releasing gripping of the brush to allow the brush to move in the axial direction.

An interdental cleaning tool (2) includes a base portion (10) having a shaft portion (20) and a grip portion (30), and a cleaning portion (40). The cleaning portion (40) has a cleaning portion main body (42) and brush portions (44). Each of the brush portions (44) has a brush main body having a shape protruding outward from the cleaning portion main body in an axially intersecting direction, and a protrusion that has a shape protruding outward in a reference plane, which is a plane encompassing a center axis of the shaft portion (20) and a center axis of the brush main body, from an outer edge of the brush main body when the brush main body is cut along the reference plane, and is continuously connected along the outer edge of the brush main body.

An interdental cleaning tool (2) includes a base portion (10) having a shaft portion (20) and a grip portion (30), and a cleaning portion (40). The cleaning portion (40) has a cleaning portion main body (42) and a plurality of brush portions (44). Each of the brush portions (44) has a brush main body having a shape protruding outward from the cleaning portion main body in an axially intersecting direction, and a scraping step portion that protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the brush main body in a direction orthogonal to the axially intersecting direction, the brush main body extending from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion of the brush main body and being formed to be flat.

A dental device for cleaning oral interproximal spaces, a flosser cartridge for engagement in the dental device, and method of use thereof. The implement includes a housing which receives a cradle carrying a cartridge stack. The cradle and cartridge stack are rotated by manipulating a control knob at a rear end of the housing. Rotation of the cradle causes the flosser cartridge stack to be progressively moved forwardly along a helical track toward an opening in the housing's front end. The cleaning tip on a forwardmost cartridge extends outwardly through the opening and is covered by a cap prior to use. The cap is removed when the user wishes to clean their teeth. The forwardmost cartridge is snapped off the stack and disposed of after use. Rotation of the cradle moves a second cartridge in the stack into the forwardmost position where the second cartridge is then ready for use.

A Protective Makeup Brush Cleansing Kit, including elements of the user and/or soap and water is provided. The Protective Makeup Brush Cleansing Kit will clean makeup brush bristles and protect makeup brush bristles by keeping them covered and free from pollutants. The Protective Makeup Brush Cleansing Kit covers will also prevent the makeup brush bristles from being bent and warp which increases longevity.

[Problem] To provide a base part, an interdental cleaning tool, and a method for manufacturing the interdental cleaning tool, capable of preventing bending of a shaft part when a resin material is filled from an insertion end. [Solution] A base part includes a shaft part (20) and a grip part (30). The base part is used for forming an interdental cleaning tool by filling, inside a metal mold having a shape that forms a filling space around the shaft part (20), a resin material into the filling space with the shaft part (20) clamped by a holding pin. The shaft part (20) includes a first guide groove (24) formed on one side with respect to an axially parallel plane and a second guide groove (26) formed on the other side with respect to the axially parallel plane. The first guide groove (24) and the second guide groove (26) extend in the axial direction from an insertion end (22a) toward a base end and have a shape recessed toward the center of the shaft part (20) from the outer peripheral face of a region other than the first guide groove (24) and the second guide groove (26) in the shaft part (20).

A cleaning device includes a bristle bundle and a handle. The handle has a tubular structure and includes a straight part and a bent part, and the bent part is located at the end of the straight part. The bristle bundle is detachably placed in the tubular structure of the handle, and one end of the bristle bundle extends out of the bent part.
