The toothpaste dispenser Glenn is distinctive and innovative and provides a simple solution to a widespread problem. Children usually need help from a grown-up putting toothpaste on their toothbrush. Instead of a tube, the toothpaste is stored in a pump-action container. One push with the palm of your hand portions out the right amount of toothpaste for a child. The size of the head is ideal for children’s hands and provides a good surface for small children to push down on. The dispenser has been designed to stay standing on the sink. Although it was primarily designed for children, it is suitable for everyone, and especially people with reduced dexterity and strength, making it a popular product with many people.
