Shaver socket

Annie1960

I'm moving house shortly.

Currently, I have a shaver socket in the bathroom where I charge my electric toothbrush. The new house does not have a shaver socket anywhere.

Is there an adaptor I can get to turn a normal socket into one with 2 pins suitable for an electric toothbrush?

Thanks for any advice on this.

The OP is after the socket that fits on the wall

The B&Q one says not suitable for bathrooms!

The OP is after an adaptor.

Here's the question again:

Exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. Thanks. No wiring required!

Is this one suitable for use in the UK? It says continental. I'm not very knowledgeable on these matters.

Thanks, these would be a long-term solution once I've moved in and can get an electrician to put a proper socket in. I'm looking for a temporary self-help solution in the meantime, so I can brush my teeth!

Yes, equally as suitable as the Tesco one... just over twice the price.
