An apparatus for securing an item of footwear may stand alone or be integral with an item of luggage. The apparatus has a continuous large flap and two flap ends with a center portion located between the two flaps. The center portion is secured to the luggage, and two flap ends are arranged to partially encircle the body section of the footwear when the footwear is placed upon the center portion. One flap end partially overlaps the other. The flaps are attached to one another such that the flap ends secure the footwear to the luggage substantially at the body section of the footwear. A rear strap is secured to either of the base portion, the center portion or a flap end and encircles the heel, section of the footwear when the footwear is placed upon the base portion. The rear strap secures the footwear to the luggage and prevents the footwear from sliding in a direction toward the heel section of the footwear. Also, a third strap encircles the body section of the footwear and prevents the footwear from sliding in a direction toward the toe section of the footwear. The large flap is shaped to conform to the item of footwear being secured in order to provide a snug fit.

An elongated handle with an internal supply of fresh dental floss and a flossing head including a fork provides oral hygiene. A fresh section of floss is advanced by a one-touch arrangement which concurrently relegates spent floss to a separate take-up reel. The fresh floss spanning the tines of the fork is kept taut at all times as a result of various special expedients including a differential spool and drum and a rack and pinion floss locking arrangement. When the supply of fresh floss on the bobbin is exhausted, the device is discarded.
