Default Bathroom electrical appliances

Hi, moved over to Australia recently and having problems finding an adapter for my electric toothbrush and electric beard trimmer which has those two pin connectors found commonly in Europe (and US I believe?). Seems very odd as no-one seems to know about anything to help - even asked in all the electrical retailers.

Any help or suggestions much welcome. My beard needs trimming and I hate toothbrushes!

Is it 2 round pins? A lot of our stuff from Asia has those (including my toothbrush) and we found some adaptors, I think in Bunnings. They are white and the brand "Jackson".

You need these adapters or these adapters You can get them on eBay, search for 'plug adapter australia', if you can't find them in a shop.

Hope this helps

UK and Aus use the same voltage - you can just put a new plug on your lecy toothbrush and beard trimmer. Easy peasy!
