Have bought this and some other toothbrush holder. Since our daughter (3) absolute Hello Kitty fan, it was close to buy this. When he came home, as always very fast, I thought first, wow 8 cm are pretty big. But damn cute. Function is really great. Easy in and click out. Our daughter brushing teeth now even voluntarily. Hope holds :-) Now our daughter, my wife and I a has. If our son is old enough, he gets one too. We can recommend it without hesitation.
