Want to share your toothbrush with multiple people?

The Bite:
Brush your teeth using state-of-the-art toothbrushes that once had a past life.  (And no – we're not talking about used bristles).  New brushes are made with high-end design and recycled materials, lasting longer and reducing waste.
The Benefits: 
  • Better brushing through design – Clinically tested and dentist approved brushes are designed to make brushing easier and more enjoyable so you take better care of your teeth.
  • Less waste – high-design recycled brushes last 2-3 times longer than normal.
  • Recycled and recyclable handles of the toothbrushes can eventually be recycled again into plastic lumber.  Plastic lumber is virtually maintenance free and lasts for 50 years. (You may have seen it used on decks.)
Personally Speaking: 
We’re actually waiting for Jen’s dentist brother, Peter, to give us the go-ahead that these are going to outperform our current brushes so that we maintain our Biting choppers. He however is taking care of patients, so bug him and comment on today’s blog entry.
Wanna Try: 
  • Radius – a variety of recycled and recyclable toothbrushes.  You can buy individual brushes or bulk packs of up to six.

Cocktail Fact

The first bristle brush was invented in the 15th century by the Chinese, using hair from the neck of a boar for its bristles.

Bang For The Bite

Recycled toothbrushes seem expensive – they average about $6 a brush while conventional manual brushes sell for about $3.  Dig deeper though: you will need to buy fewer brushes each a year.
