A toothbrush holder that includes, among other features and capabilities, a holder base plate mountable on a planar surface such as a wall or a mirror and that is formed with a plurality of toothbrush retaining troughs. The troughs project generally outwardly from the holder base plate and are each preferably formed with a distal retaining bulwark that is spaced apart from the holder base plate defining a receiver that is sized large enough to retain an over sized handle of a toothbrush. More specifically, the receiver can be sized to receive and releasably capture the over sized handle, which can have an average dimension in the range of at least about 20 to 50 millimeters or larger. In a variation of the instant invention, a table top version of the toothbrush holder incorporates a holder base that is formed with a plurality of spaced apart bristle receivers and a handle retainer that is superiorly supported from the holder base. The handle retainer is formed with a plurality of spaced apart apertures that are registered with a respective one of the plurality of spaced apart bristle receivers. The handle retainer and the bristle receivers cooperate to define a receiver sized to retain the toothbrush having the over sized handle. In yet another modification, the over sized handle of the toothbrush is releasably captured with a modified handle retainer that incorporates adjustable, eccentric cams fixed in the handle retainer proximate the apertures to adjust their size.
