Electric toothbrush

The outlets in the bathroom are separately fused for about 20-40 milliamps (0.02 - 0.04 amps) in order to limit any ground fault shock potential for an outlet in close proximity to water. In your home, code requires a GFCI outlet for the same reason. The fused "shaver only" outlet is a less expensive and more compact way of doing this. Your electric toothbrush may work on this outlet, you'd have to check the current draw printed on it.

 

One note, is that these outlets are frequently wired in series with the bathroom light, so when the light is off, the outlet is not powered, so that can affect your charging ability.

The flat nightlight goes into that outlet. Obviously it's always on.
