I need a new one.I'm currently using an Ultreo: Bought it about a year ago based off some great online & magazine reviews. Cost me a little over $100.Unfortunately, the replacement brush heads (which are supposed to be replaced every 3 months) cost $50(!) now!!! That's $200 EVERY YEAR on replacement heads only! WTF?!?!?! They USED to be $25 each, which is still ridiculous. It's not THAT great.Well, it's time for a new brush head and I'm gonna chalk it up as a loss and buy a different brand.Soooo...whatchu brushin' with??

    I like to stick to just using pretty cheap ones and replacing them often.


    Not very green i suppose, but i also like disposable razors.

    I was wondering how long it'd take you to brag about that stupid thing.

    I'm all about the ORAL B TRIUMPH. It's got a timer device on it, showing you how long to spend on each quadrant. At the end of the two minutes, a digital smiley face forms as if to say "hey guy, you did it. see you later, champ". It's a real affirming way to begin your day.

    I rep an oral B 'lectric as well...but mine doesnt have super fanny timer screen thingy...after 2 minutes the rpm's slow down a couple times to let you know its been 2 minutes.

    Batmon...

    I'm willing to bet you have a fancy toofbrush too. You're just being contradictory (but we all know that).

    Is there some fancy machine that can wipe my azz for me?

    Some days I just can't be bothered.

    Maybe some kind of adapter for the electric toothbrush.

    "Rep your toothbrush" = "SoulStrut friends and family: Please suggest to me a decent toothbrush because I was duped into buying one that's too expensive to maintain. Thank you."

    The latter wouldn't fit in the subject line.

    I used to think the same thing, until my Dad bought us all electric toothbrushes for Christmas 6-7 years ago...now I love them.

    There was a study conducted recently that showed that an electric toothbrush will not clean your teeth any better than the cheapest ordinary toothbrush. Only the round oscillating electric toothbrushes offer a slight improvement, and they're often the cheapest ones you can buy. Plus that 'sonic' stuff is just a marketing gimmick.

    Hope that help Herm. (:

    I wouldn't doubt it - I've fallen victim to hype before and will probably continue to do so - but I'd like to read the article anyways if you have a link.

    Regardless, an electric toofbrush just makes my mouth feel better than a regular old one. I use those to clean my sneakers. Plus the timer keeps me on point.

    ok I'll play too, I use this Oral-B one with the water pik thingy. I love it and replacement heads are like $8. and it's a rotary head which is gooder than yours Herm.

    Get yourself a Bidet




    They make them now built in to the toilet seat so you don't need a separate device.

    I was lucky, the results came out just as I was looking into buying an electric brush, cause they go easy on the gums.


    Here's the best link I could find - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2679175.stm

    You could search for "The Cochrane Collaboration" the non-profit that conducted the test and read the actual report from their test, but it's a lot of science waffle.
