RADIUS Toothbrush Replaceable Accepted Designed Reviews Summary

Brush Design and Ergonomics

Pros:

• "The thumb grip is a surprisingly nice feature."
• "The flat, wide grip opens up your hand more."
• "Terrific ergonomic handle."
• "Easy to hold great grip n angle for a right hander."
• "The handle is ergonomically shaped to your hand ... you can choose left-handed or right-handed."
• "The design of the handle makes it very easy to hold and manipulate the bristles as I brush my teeth."
• "Great toothbrush for somebody who is disabled. The handle fits into a hand that is less than sure in its grip, and gives the user the ability to maneuver the toothbrush well to get the teeth clean."

Cons:

• "I found the handle awkward as well."
• "The handle is a little too short for me (and my hands are not particularly large), so I get cramps in my hand by the end of brushing my teeth."
• "The handle is made to fit your hand in one particular position which makes it difficult to brush."
• "Made for specific hand, but when you need to clean other side of mouth you have to move the handle and it's very awkward and uncomfortable."
• "The handle/grip is comfortable in my fairly large hand."
• "Sometimes the handle cracks."
• "The handle is designed in the most uncomfortable ever."

Brush Head Size and Bristles

Pros:

• "These extra large headed toothbrushes allow you to reach the whole surface with one swoosh."
• "Due to its large size, I can brush my teeth effectively without having to brush too hard."
• "Covers a lot of area so cuts my brushing time down."
• "I love that it's wide bristles."
• "They cover your entire tongue and both bottom and top teeth at the same time all while being soft and flexible."
• "The heads on these are huge so they get every possible bit of your teeth and gums clean."
• "Love it, gives a nice massage to your gums every time you use it."

Cons:

• "But the brush head is so big that I find it extraordinarily difficult to brush adequately behind my front lower teeth."
• "The bristles don’t last as long as a regular toothbrush."
• "These new bristles aren't nearly as soft--don't feel like they're massaging your gums. The new bristles are also not as flexible and don't get between the teeth as well."
• "Brush head too big. Hard to use around teeth. Cumbersome."
• "The brush head's extraordinary largeness causes difficulty with cleaning behind teeth."
• "The head is so ridiculously large that it renders it ineffective."
• "The brush size is too large to effectively reach the interior side of the teeth and it's difficult to sweep the rear-most part of the tongue."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "They last longer than cheap toothbrushs. A lot longer!!!!!"
• "It is very sturdy and the bristles last longer than a normal bristles."
• "I feel like this brush will indeed last more than 3 months."
• "They do last a long time."
• "Each toothbrush lasts me about 6 months."
• "I have had the same toothbrush for five years and I can't detect any wear."
• "They last a longer than supermarket brushes and because they are wide they have kept my gums healthier and now they dont bleed anymore."

Cons:

• "I really loved this toothbrush but unfortunately after 2 months it broke while I was brushing my teeth."
• "However, in the past two weeks (with daily use) the bristles are coming out!!!"
• "These are horrible all 3 within 1 week to 2 months snapped off at the neck."
• "There's a massive design flaw in these new 2 piece brushes that makes them break after a few weeks with normal usage."
• "The new design with removable heads is made to break."
• "The ones with a replaceable head get mildewed in the socket where the head is inserted."
• "Sometimes the mated pieces wear enough that the head no longer stays in the handle and will come out while I'm brushing."

Environmental and Health Consciousness

Pros:

• "I love that it is Eco- friendly as well. That's a huge benefit."
• "I opted for this company because they are plastic conscious. The toothbrush, except for the heads, are recyclable and made of reused materials."
• "Plus--this is a Green US company, too, which is an added extra."
• "Bristles made from 100% vegetable oil making for a 100% PETROLEUM FREE, BPA Free, Latex Free, Lead Free, Gluten Free, and Phthalates Free toothbrush!"
• "We bought them because they are made from sustainable plant-based material, rather than plastic like traditional toothbrushes."
• "If you're worried about the landfill, Radius even has one where you just replace the bristle portion, and re-use the handle."
• "They say they’ve gone green with 'plant based' design and components. They have also ruined a great product!"
