Stash & storage
The Stash Toilet Brush is a fully functional toilet brush with a secret hidden compartment built into the base, designed to store your herbs, valuables, or anything else you'd rather keep out of sight. It looks, feels, and works exactly like a regular plastic toilet brush — because it is one. The difference is a discreet storage cavity in the socket that nobody thinks to check. Not your flatmate, not unexpected visitors, not anyone.
The best hiding spot isn't the cleverest lock — it's the thing nobody would ever think to look inside. That's the whole idea behind stash containers, and this toilet brush nails it. We've sold stash cans shaped like deodorant, drinks tins, and household items for years. The toilet brush is the one that gets the biggest grin at the counter, and honestly, it's the one we'd pick ourselves. Nobody — and we mean nobody — voluntarily inspects a toilet brush.
Think about it: a lockbox says "something valuable is in here." A safe says "break me open." A toilet brush sitting next to your loo says absolutely nothing. It's boring. It's invisible. That's exactly the point. The compartment in the socket is large enough for a decent herb stash, a few rolled notes, or whatever small items you want tucked away. The brush itself is standard white plastic — the kind you'd find in any bathroom aisle — so it blends in without a second glance.
One honest limitation: because the compartment is in the base, the storage space isn't enormous. You're not fitting a full 50g bag in there. It's sized for personal amounts — a few grams of herbs, some cash, a USB stick. If you need larger capacity, a stash can or stash book might suit you better. But for sheer "nobody will ever find this" factor, the toilet brush is hard to beat.

Complete your stash setup: pair the Stash Toilet Brush with a Stash Can for the kitchen or living room. Two hiding spots in two rooms means you're never caught scrambling. A small smell-proof bag inside the compartment also keeps things airtight and discreet.
Ding-dong. Doorbell. Could be the landlord, could be your stepmother, could be anyone you'd rather not explain your herb collection to. We've heard this story hundreds of times from customers over 25-plus years in Amsterdam: "I had everything just sitting on the table." The fix isn't complicated — it's a container that doesn't look like a container.
Most people hide things in drawers, shoeboxes, or the back of a wardrobe. The problem? Those are the first 3 places anyone snoops. A stash container works because it exploits the mundane. Your brain filters out everyday objects — a toilet brush, a drinks can, a hairbrush. You see them without seeing them. That's the psychology behind every stash product we carry, and the toilet brush is the most committed version of that idea. It sits in the one room people spend the least time examining.
The weight feels right in your hand — light plastic, nothing rattling around to give it away. The base sits flat and stable. If you actually use it as a toilet brush (and you can — it's a real brush with real bristles), there's an added layer of "nobody is touching that" security. Psychological warfare, bathroom edition.
We've been selling stash containers since the early 2000s, and the number one mistake people make is overthinking it. They buy the cleverest, most elaborate hiding spot and then put it somewhere conspicuous — a fake Coca-Cola can in a room where nobody drinks Coke, for instance. The toilet brush works because it belongs exactly where you put it. Context is everything.
The second thing we've learned: smell is the giveaway, not sight. If you're storing aromatic herbs, wrap them in a smell-proof bag before stashing. The compartment itself isn't airtight, so without a bag, you might notice a faint whiff near the base. A 1-gram zip-lock solves this completely. We sell smell-proof bags separately — they're worth adding to your order.

Yes, 100%. It's a real plastic toilet brush with proper bristles. You can scrub your loo with it every day. The hidden compartment in the base doesn't affect the brush function at all.
The compartment holds small items — think a few grams of dried herbs, some rolled cash, a memory stick, or a small bag of valuables. It's not built for bulk storage. For larger amounts, a stash book or stash safe is a better option.
The compartment isn't airtight, so aromatic herbs can produce a faint odour near the base. Wrap your stash in a small smell-proof zip-lock bag before placing it inside — that eliminates the issue entirely.
The base feels like a normal toilet brush holder — no obvious seams, no rattling. Unless someone deliberately disassembles it, the compartment stays hidden. And realistically, nobody picks up someone else's toilet brush to inspect it.
That's actually the best place for it. A toilet brush in a shared bathroom is the most ignored object in the house. Just make sure your stash is in a sealed bag so there's no scent giveaway, and you're sorted.
The compartment is in the base socket, which sits below the brush. Water drips down the brush handle but doesn't pool into the storage area under normal use. Still, keeping your items in a small plastic bag adds an extra layer of protection against any moisture.
Three things: placement (put it where a toilet brush belongs), smell control (use a zip-lock bag), and behaviour (don't draw attention to it by checking it constantly when people are around). The less you interact with it, the more invisible it becomes.
