(EN) This invention concerns a toothbrush holder (1) which serves to support toothbrushes and has both a point of support (6) and, at a distance thereof, a point of abuttment (7) for contact with the toothbrush handle on opposite sides. The point of support is provided on the back side in an area towards the brush head and the point of abuttment on the inside in an area away from the toothbrush handle. The plane connecting both points of contact is essentially almost horizontal and the separation between the two points of support (6, 7) is less than the separation between the center of gravity (S) of the tooth brush (5) and the rear end (15) of the toothbrush handle.
