"The IKEA HUMLESJON timer almost looks like a light switch for a cartoon house, a big marshmallow, or even a kid toy. The pale turquoise exterior is chunky and pleasantly rounded, containing two circular holes. The inside is filled with a fine orange sand, and the sand steadily drains from the upper circle down to the lower one, like a flatter and more unique version of an hourglass."
"This kid-friendly creation measures a little less than 6 inches tall and about 4 inches wide, which is small enough to be unobtrusive but big enough that you won't forget about it when it's time to brush! Plus, the distinct color scheme will be hard to ignore. Curiously, IKEA's site says "it takes 70-90 seconds for the sand to flow through," so you may want to flip it twice to make sure your teeth are really getting a thorough brushing."
The IKEA HUMLESJON is a suction-cup sand timer designed for the bathroom with a pale turquoise, rounded exterior containing two circular chambers of fine orange sand. The compact dimensions, under 6 inches tall and about 4 inches wide, allow it to stick to glass, mirrors, or tile without using counter space. Sand flows from the upper chamber to the lower in about 70–90 seconds per flip, so two flips provide a more thorough two-minute brushing interval. The bright color and playful shape aim to make toothbrushing more engaging. Families report it makes brushing feel like a fun challenge rather than a daily battle.
