Mains adaptor for electric toothbrush?

I went to the dentist recently having not been for some time due to my last dentist going private. My new dentist recommended that I brush with an electric toothbrush. I already have a Sonic type electric toothbrush that I never use.

When I got home I discovered that my new house (rented) doesn't have an electric socket in the bathroom - the type with two prongs for shavers etc.

Can I get an adaptor so that I can plug the toothbrush charger into a mains socket in my room then as the toothbrush is cordless just take it into the bathroom to use?

If such a thing does exist i'd be grateful for suggestions as to where to get one.

Thanks in advance.

    I am sure you can find similar in B&Q. Our local Bonkers usually sell pack of two for £1.

    Not a good advice, but you can plug your toothbrush into usual socket without adapter, but with help of some plastic stick by inserting this stick into upper (ground) hole so that two lower holes get openned to accept the plug.
  • A Shaver adaptor - should be obtainable virtually anywhere.
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice
