Both toothbrushes and shavers can be run from a basic 2 pin plug in spanish hotels/houses/apartments.
I bought my toothbrush from the UK, it was fitted with a 2 pin plug and works great, our many visitors bring shavers etc., and they have no trouble at all.
You can also buy plugs here..............2 pin to 3, and vice versa, but you should'nt have any trouble.

maybe, depends on the hotel. Some have 120 volt outlets some don't . You may need an adapter to adjust both the plug and the voltage. If your toothbrush has a 120/220 switch, all you need is the plug adapter. If it doesn't, you may need a voltage adapter or transformer as well.

YEAH U NEED A 2 PIN PLUG CAN GET UM FROM MOST SHOPS LIKE DIXONS AND THAT ABOUT Â£5 BUT WORTH BUYING

European electricity is a different frequency (50 Hz; the U.S. has 60 Hz), as well as a different voltage. A transformer changes the voltage but not the frequency. I know a guy who says that his electric shaver does not work well on European electricity, even with a plug adapter. A cordless model with rotating head and internal batteries should be fine with the proper adapter and transformer. The frequency is only a probably for shavers that run the A.C. directly into the handheld buzzing gizmo.

yes you do, they're two pin plugs and are fairly cheap

So, where do you come from?

Some hotels will have universal shaver points able to fit two terminal round pins or flat pins. The standard there is CEE7 VII. Your gadgets will also need to be able to work at 220V or they will be wrecked.

si! stores like Sharper Image sell electric plug adaptors that can be used worldwide!
An adaptor where you can plug your appliances, toothbrush,electric shavers, etc... then you just plug in the adaptor in the wall socket in the country that you are in!

Gute Reisen! Bon Voyage!

Yes you can plug your two pin electric toothbrush into the plug sockets in Spain,if you are from U.K. Enjoy your holiday.

yes you will iv just come back and i didnt bother taking my adapter because i thought the point was the same as there plugs but its slightly different .so make sure you take it and it will just plug in to your british adapter which then fits into the spanish wall plug and also use spanish toothpaste when your over there with there water as your teeth end up feeling unclean x

You can actually use your 2 pin plug electric shaver anywhere in the world! Electric shavers are made with 2 pin plugs/all shaver sockets in hotels have 2 pins for that purpose.
Even in the UK, shaver sockets have 2 pins and I have recently discovered that you can use your Spanish telephone charger in them too!
Now the question is why don't they use 2 pin plugs for everything and 2 pin sockets for everything everywhere in the world so that we can all move around freely without having to buy adaptors!
