Electric tooth brushes quip review2/27/2024 The American Dental Association says how you brush and how often are more important than whether you choose an electric toothbrush or a manual one. One of the biggest questions: Should you buy an electric toothbrush or a manual one? With so many different options available, shopping for the best toothbrush can be confusing. Not sure if a metal head would possibly hurt teeth though? Just thinking out loud.Written by David Kender and Rebecca Boniface I would have been more inclined to buy the metal brush if the head was metal as well, not plastic. I’ve always used a plastic brush, but I have heard that it’s not the best material to put in your mouth. One more thing is that the head is plastic. He wishes it was a little bit longer, but that is really just in comparison to his old toothbrush. Nick’s only con was regarding the head size. I would have preferred the green, but let Nick have it, so we didn’t get our brushes mixed up! I also wish the base level came in more colors, but it is in fact the base level. I don’t know if it is my pre-arthritic thumbs or what, but sometimes the button is hard to push / turn on. My only con is regarding the button that turns it on. Quip’s toothpaste is $5 every 3 months.īecause nothing is perfect ) These are not dealbreakers at all, just wanted to share our thoughts. Toothpaste - We use Tom’s of Maine Fluoride-Free Toothpaste and are really happy with it, plus it is cheaper. Obviously that is only the upfront container fee and it is refillable, but again, I didn’t think the metal version was worth $10 extra. It’s $5 every 3 months for a refill, but the metal floss container does cost more ($15), whereas the plastic version is only $5. It’s $5 every 3 months regardless of if you purchased plastic or the metal/plastic combo.įloss - Nick prefers flossers and I use activated charcoal floss. Head - This is the basic plan and what we did! Every 3 months Quip ships you a new brush head, which includes a new battery. I couldn’t find anywhere how much money is donated, but these are both reputable organizations! They also have a red/white one that benefits (product)red, and is $40. Right now one is all black, benefits the Global Dentist Relief Foundation, and costs $50. We just bought the toothbrush alone.Ĭharity - Quip has 2 charity editions. It comes with the brush, toothpaste, and floss. Set - You can buy a plastic set for $30 or a plastic/metal set for $55. Metal/Plastic - These are really pretty and I wish the plastic versions had prettier colors, but I didn’t really see the benefit in buying the metal version for $15 more. Kind of sad the kids version has more color options in plastic, but not a huge deal. Let’s get started! Read below and/or I made a YouTube video. It is important to note that he is a longstanding electric toothbrush user, whereas I have never had one. I’m going to give my opinion, but also pepper in where Nick and I had different opinions. Hah! Like I mentioned, we have been using them for almost 3 months now, so I feel good about telling you the ins and outs of this toothbrush! I’m going to review the Quip toothbrush on 3 areas: price, design, and usage. To be honest, he was actually really excited when they came in. I had had enough - after all… I kiss that mouth, so it’s actually part mine.Īnyway, I had been eyeing Quip on and off, but had heard about it once more on The Skimm and was like, “yeah, Nick and I are getting new toothbrushes.” HOW ADULT. He always put the cap on it, which was really gross looking, not to mention that one of our cats liked to chew on the head when Nick wasn’t looking. I thiiiink he has had the same electric toothbrush head since before we got married. Now before you go and give Nick all the dental hygiene credit, I just want to say that he is the reason I bought the Quip toothbrushes for us in the first place. Nick on the other hand is pretty much the king of flossing. Same with flossing! I mean I do it enough, but I don’t do it every day. I mean I always brushed my teeth twice a day, if not three times, but never had self-moving bristles and let’s be real…never for the magic 2 minutes that you are supposed to. I just used the toothbrushes that I was given at the dentist and called it a day. Nick had been using one for a while, but I had never experienced it. Until about 3 months ago, I had never used an electric toothbrush. Quip Toothbrush | Outdoor Voices Cloudknit Top (c/o) | Tom’s of Maine Fluoride-Free Toothpaste | Hello Activated Charcoal Floss
