"There are two types of ultraviolet light," says co-founder Jonathan Dandeker. "One type can cause skin cancer, but the other has been proven to destroy 99% of all germs on contact." The PYRO uses the latter type of ultraviolet light and is designed to sit on top of your bathroom sink.

It's programmed to automatically turn on when you pull out your toothbrush, and then turn off once you put it back in its holder. It also has a motion sensor so it won't stay activated if someone else picks up your toothbrush. The toothbrush holder comes with a subscription service that includes new brush heads every three months, which are replaced every six months along with the UV bulb itself, which lasts for 60 days before needing to be replaced.

The subscription will cost $5 per month or $50 per year, depending on how often you need new brush heads.

You can find them from brands like Otterbox and Speck Products.
