SAHARA
A toothbrush designed for extreme travelers, it facilitates water conservation through an internal canister and water pump while ensuring comfort and hygiene. The design takes inspiration from shapes found in nature
The Pain
Extreme travelers face a significant challenge in maintaining dental hygiene due to a limited water supply, concerns about water quality, and the necessity for portable products. This occurs while navigating diverse field conditions and environmental considerations, sometimes compelling them to forego brushing their teeth.
The Solution
After conducting in-depth research with the target audience and performing a range test with experimenters, I concluded that it is possible to complete a full brushing with less than 70 milliliters of water. This achievement is feasible by effectively controlling the amount of water entering the oral cavity during and after brushing. This insight prompted me to devise a solution involving the integration of a water tank and a manual water pump within the toothbrush.
