If Jony Ive Designed An Electric Toothbrush, It Would Look Like This

Travelers know the frustration: your bag is neatly packed with essentials, but then—there it is—a bulky, awkward toothbrush taking up precious space. Or worse, a so-called portable toothbrush that feels like a cheap toy. For Upplang, this frustration sparked a revolution. Co-founders Tingrui and Webber had one goal: to create a toothbrush that didn’t force you to choose between performance and portability. That’s how Upplang was born. A sleek, powerful travel companion for people who value both style and substance.

Forget plastic cases and flimsy chargers. Upplang’s electric toothbrush combines premium materials, like aluminum alloy and eco-friendly composites, for durability and elegance. It’s not bulky, either; its compact, elliptical design slides into your carry-on or backpack like it belongs there. Forget the plastic cases and awkward chargers. This toothbrush travels with you seamlessly, as if it was designed with jet-setting in mind. Oh wait, it was.

Upplang didn’t start in a lab or on a corporate whiteboard. It started in real-life moments—like TingRui’s travels to more than 30 countries. The realization hit hard: most travel toothbrushes just don’t cut it. Weak vibrations, flimsy construction, and no sense of care in their design made oral hygiene on the road feel like a compromise. Enter Webber, a designer with awards to spare, who brought an obsessive focus to blending function and form. Together, they reimagined what a toothbrush could look and feel like—and yes, how it could actually work.

The case is a gorgeous metallic number, slick enough to fit into any bag but robust enough to withstand being run over by a car. Inside lies the brush, along with a built-in prop-stand to keep it on your bathroom counter during your work trip, or suction to wall-mount it while at home. The brush itself is thoughtfully created – an elliptical cross-section on the handle that’s a pleasure to grip, bristles designed to work with all types of teeth, and textured rubber bristles on the backside to scrub the inside of your cheek, giving you all-round oral hygiene.

Powered by a 14mm motor delivering 42,000 RPM, Upplang rivals top-tier electric toothbrushes designed for home use. Gentle yet effective, it’s engineered for superior cleaning—fast. When you’re done, toss it back into your bag without a second thought. USB-C charging makes powering up simple—no proprietary chargers or ecosystem gimmicks. Just thoughtful, user-friendly design.

It’s one thing to make a good toothbrush. It’s another to earn nods from design elites. The Upplang toothbrush boasts an impressive roster of awards: the German Red Dot, Italian A’ Design Award, and the Good Design Award, among others. These accolades are more than shiny trophies; they’re proof that Upplang is paying attention to what matters—craftsmanship, usability, and a design that feels as good as it looks. You might not expect your toothbrush to win awards, but then again, you might not have met this one yet.

Upplang’s impact doesn’t stop at transforming travel-friendly oral care—it extends far beyond. Through its “One Smile, Four Impact” campaign, each toothbrush purchased helps deliver four eco-friendly brushes to underserved communities, advancing oral health where it’s needed most. Add to that a commitment to sustainable materials and a growing movement of users sharing their stories through #JoinUpplang, and you’ve got a brand that’s turning smiles into meaningful change—one thoughtful brush at a time.
