    Abstract: An electric toothbrush stowage device for sanitary stowing and charging of an electric toothbrush includes a housing, which comprises a base that is positionable on a surface so that the housing extends upwardly from the surface. A charging plug is engaged to the housing proximate to an upper end of the housing. The charging plug is complementary to a charging port of an electric toothbrush and is insertable into the charging port to charge a battery of the electric toothbrush. A coupler, which is engaged to the housing, selectively engages a neck of the electric toothbrush so that a handle and a brush head of the electric toothbrush extend toward the upper end of the housing and the base, respectively.
