I have been given a new electric toothbrush. The problem is the the

charger is moulded.

Would a travel adapter (UK 3-pin in, europlug out) work?

I have a small switch (which I use for a couple of workstations, so is
handy and non-critical) which was supplied with a wall wart using a UK
adaptor which sticks out so much that the rather heavy PSU tends to
lever it out of the socket. It is still unstable even with copious
duct tape, so if I had bought it for a more remote, high-reliability use
(upstairs or in a cupboard) I would have probably thrown it away as not
reliable enough. So I don't think the adaptor as afterthought is
necessarily an adequate solution to make it of merchantable quality for
use in this country.
