Hey all,
I don't believe in electric toothbrushes. I tink theyare a stupid invention for gadget-happy lazy-asses, and I don't believe they get the job done, generally speaking. BUT. I just bought a SONICARE. Back in the mid-90's some time, I had a family member, who is a bit of an elitist, tell me that the sonicare was the most AMAZING consumer product she had ever owned. According to her, every time she used it, she felt like her teeth had just been professionally cleaned. Of course, I was intrigued, but seeing as how the toothbrush was only available at sharper image at the time, and cost well over $100.00, there was no way I was gonna try it. Through the years, a few more people have told me the same thing. Well, last night, I got the itch. I started reading up on them, checked out all the reviews on epinions.com (96% approval rating from hundreds of reviewers), and finally bit the bullet and went out and bought one.
AMAZING. I have only used it twice, but I can HONESTLY say, my mouth hasn't felt this clean in years. (I don't have regular cleanings). I am a HELL of a brusher to begin with. I spend a lot more time than recommended, and make sure I get every nook and cranny as well as possible, but there is NO WAY a human being can replicate the effectiveness and feeling of this thing. I will say this: It feels BIZARRE, and if you don't like the feeling of having your teeth cleaned, you will not like this either. --But when you get done and rinse your mouth out, it's a pretty amazing feeling. It works on the same concept of the instrument your dentist uses to clean your teeth anyway. The only real difference is this has bristles like a regular toothbrush.
Anyone else have one? Anyone else tried one? They're still pretty expensive, but they have 30-day testers (60 2-minute brushes) available in some places so you can try it out. I can tell you this much... I was a little wary of spending the money I did on it, but if I had gotten one of the testers first, at the end of the test period, i WOULD HAVE bought it anyway without thinking twice.
What do you think?
