Abstract
A toothbrush holding device for holding and covering toothbrushes. The toothbrush holding device includes a housing. The housing has a bottom wall. The bottom wall has a peripheral edge. A peripheral wall is integrally coupled to and extends upwardly from the peripheral edge. The peripheral wall has a top edge. A cover member covers the housing. The cover member has a plate having a peripheral edge. The plate has a plurality of bores therein. The peripheral edge has a lip thereon adapted for removably coupling to the top edge of the peripheral wall.
