Has anyone noticed how ugly denture cases are?  As a new denture wearer myself, and being in the baby boomer age group, I recently went looking for a designer denture case and came up dry. Same old plastic cases, different colors but same ugly shape that screams "false teeth" in here!  I wonder why this market been so ignored. There are approximately 65 million baby boomers and 41 million denture wearers. Many of us want pretty designer cases that complement our surroundings, not ugly plastic ones that need to be hid in a drawer.  As far as untapped markets go, I think products for denture wearers has been seriously overlooked.

I wish someone would come up with ideas for a product like this.  Or have I just not found the right website?  I've tried Etsy, Amazon, etc., but no luck.

Perhaps the universe is telling you something? Design one yourself & make $$$$$$$$.

Why does it matter?

It matters because I don't want ugly things in my home.

Just never mind.  Sorry I posted.

Don't be sorry you posted!

Sometimes snark is a way of life around here.

I also wear dentures and who wants those ugly containers sitting around on your pretty bathroom vanity among your nice things, while soaking to clean them?

I don't either.

Don't you have cabinets, drawers in your bathroom? Don't get it. Yes, soaking is only for a small amount of time in the 24 hours we are given each day.

I don't have dentures but I have had flippers while getting implants and I have mouth pieces and they are plastic containers.  They have holes in them for venting so the odor dissipates and no fungus, yeast or bacterial build-up in the container.  Personally, I prefer that.

I certainly have drawers (full with tooth brushes, tweezers, nail files, polishes, makeup, etc) and cabinets (full with lotions, shampoos, conditioners, towels, washcloths, etc.)

And I soak mine overnight in a whitening cleaner to assure no stains, as well as clean them after 3 meals a day.

That doesn't add up to "a small amount of time in 24 hours".
