What is 干せるブラシスタンド（３ｗａｙ）?
If you've ever laid a freshly washed makeup brush flat on a towel and wondered there has to be a better way — Daiso heard you. The 干せるブラシスタンド (3-Way Brush Drying Stand) is a compact, deceptively clever little tool priced at just ¥110 (about $0.75) that completely rethinks how you dry, stand, and store your brushes.
The body is made from polypropylene — lightweight yet sturdy — while the insertion port uses thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a grippy, flexible rubber-like material that holds brush handles snugly without scratching them. The stand measures 6.9 cm × 15 cm × 10.9 cm, small enough to sit on a bathroom shelf or hang over a laundry pole. The insertion port accommodates handles up to 8 mm in diameter on the insertion side, and the leg opening fits poles up to 20 mm in diameter — covering most standard laundry rods and towel bars.
As the name promises, this one item does three jobs: ① hang-dry (brush bristles facing up, stand hooked over a pole or hanger), ② stand upright (bristles facing down, placed on a flat surface for gravity-assisted drying), and ③ store (a tidy holder when your brush isn't in use). That three-in-one flexibility is rare at any price point, let alone triple digits in yen.

How to Use It — Hack Ideas
Primary Use — The Proper Brush Drying Routine
Wash your makeup brushes with warm water (cold water won't loosen pigment buildup well), work out the product with gentle circular motions, then rinse until water runs clear. Pat dry with a towel, shape the bristles, and slide the handle into the TPE port. Hang the stand on a laundry pole, a shower curtain rod, or even a coat hanger — bristles pointing up keeps water from seeping into the ferrule and loosening the glue that holds the bristles in place. Flip it to Mode ② (bristles down) on a countertop if you prefer. Most users report brushes are fully dry by the following evening with shade drying.
Hack #1 — Calligraphy & Painting Brush Dryer
The X (formerly Twitter) community quickly pointed this out: the 8 mm port fits many traditional calligraphy and watercolor brushes perfectly. After rinsing ink or paint, hang them bristle-up on the stand. No more leaving expensive sumi brushes lying on newspaper.
Hack #2 — Desk Cable Tamer / Stylus Holder
In storage mode (Mode ③), the firm TPE grip holds more than brushes. Slide in a stylus, a fine-tip marker, or even a thin screwdriver while you work. The weighted polypropylene base keeps it from tipping. Instant desk organizer — no extra purchase needed.

Reviews & Verdict
Reactions across Japanese social media and beauty apps have been overwhelmingly positive — phrases like 「考えた人、天才か……!?」 ("Did a genius design this?!") and 「一家に一台ほしい」 ("Every household needs one") have gone semi-viral. The LIPS cosmetics community has logged nearly two dozen firsthand reviews, with the consensus praising the TPE grip for holding brushes without wobbling and the compact footprint that doesn't crowd a bathroom shelf.
A few practical caveats worth noting: the stand is designed for one brush at a time, so heavy-brush-users doing a full weekly wash may want to grab two or three stands. The insertion depth is marked by a line on the leg — don't push the handle past it or retrieval gets awkward. Also, as with any air-drying method, shade drying is strongly recommended; direct sunlight can fade brush bristles and warp the polypropylene body over time.
Users who pair this with Daiso's own Makeup Brush Cleaner and dedicated brush shampoo (JAN: 4979909959725) report a complete at-home cleaning setup for under ¥330 total — a genuinely hard-to-beat value proposition. The one consistent wish? A multi-slot version for drying a full brush collection at once. Consider that a hint to the Daiso product team.

Value Score: 88/100
A versatile, well-engineered tool that solves a real beauty-routine problem most products ignore entirely — the drying step. It loses a few points only because single-slot capacity limits batch drying, and the design aesthetic is purely functional rather than vanity-shelf pretty. Great value, worth every yen.
