Softness

Pros:

• "This is the softest toothbrush I have ever used."
• "These Nimbus bristles are exceptionally soft and a pleasure to use."
• "The bristles are so soft they can reach below the gum line to clean better."
• "These are the softest toothbrushes I've found. They are easy on the gums and clean well."
• "The bristles are incredibly soft, unlike any toothbrush I've ever used before."
• "These really get between the teeth and remove food well."
• "These toothbrushes are so soft and very gentle on the gums."

Cons:

• "But they just don't have nearly the same ultra softness."
• "These are falsely advertised as being soft on the gums and they feel basically like a regular toothbrush."
• "Not as soft as I expected. Actually feels like brushing with very tiny needles."
• "They were way too soft for me."
• "It is too soft for me and I feel like it doesn’t clean my teeth at all."
• "They never did give me that super clean feeling either. Cannot recommend."
• "Comparing to GUM compact Ultra soft -I found these to be denser therefore less flexible bristles."

Durability

Pros:

• "They hold up very well."
• "These are great brushes that don't break down as quickly as others."
• "One I've used for months is still good as new."
• "The Nimbus is unbelievably durable."
• "They clean my teeth very well."
• "Been using these for years and have even turned my Dentist on to them."
• "These brushes promote frequent brushing because they feel so good."

Cons:

• "These stop being as effective after about 3 months."
• "These toothbrushes are great for about two months at most."
• "Very very expensive and the toothbrushes do not last longer than a month or two would never buy again."
• "The brush lasted only 2 weeks before the bristles bent and I had to replace it."
• "They wear out really fast."
• "I just wish they lasted longer. Within a few days, the bristles start to deform."
• "A month into using one of these, the bristles are already bending back some."

Design

Pros:

• "Compact to easily reach back teeth and an easy to grip handle."
• "I like the grippy, thick handle on these toothbrushes."
• "The handle is substantial, and very easy to grip."
• "The compact size really lets you reach those back teeth."
• "It has better design than other toothbrushes which allows you to apply more force when brushing your teeth."
• "The different lengths and diameter of each bristle make it easy to get between my teeth."
• "Very comfortable to hold."

Cons:

• "Misleading calling this a compact toothbrush. It is narrower but the same length as a regular toothbrush."
• "It's misleading. This toothbrush is not compact size."
• "The handle is also a bit straight so it doesn't give you a good angle to brush."
• "I found the large thick handle hard to grip and awkward to use."
• "Handle is set a bit awkwardly, not really comfortable to hold."
• "Only complaint is that the handle looks like it would be a squishy plastic that makes it easy to hold. In fact it’s just a clear, hard plastic that makes it difficult to hold when wet."
• "When I brush my teeth (with all toothbrushes) the handle typically gets wet, and with these handles there needs to be a stronger non-slip surface as my hand slides around."

Price

Pros:

• "They are a good price too!"
• "These seem to be the softest bristles I have found so far, and one of the cheaper (price not quality) options as well."
• "Very good price and super fast shipping."
• "Price is great too. About $15 for 5 individually wrapped brushes... pretty good for a specialty dental hygiene product."
• "Great price for this product!"
• "Great value as well."
• "I haven't found a better brand yet that is as soft and the price is fair."

Cons:

• "A bit pricey though so might need to continue searching."
• "Very very expensive and the toothbrushes do not last longer than a month or two would never buy again."
• "Great toothbrush for sensitive and receding gums. Love the product. However, in 2013 I purchased five brushes for $14.00. Today they are $34.99 with an additional shipping charge."
• "Be careful ordering- this seller charged me $30 shipping fee on $14 purchase."
• "I have bought these a few times and I love them, but the price keeps going up."
• "Also more expensive than purchasing from website."
• "They cost a bit more, but the features well compensate for the price."

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "These toothbrushes help me clean hard-to-reach areas around crowns."
• "The bristles are soft but not so soft they don't clean and are tapered so they get between teeth really well."
• "Cleans well without irritating gums."
• "The microfine bristles get my teeth really clean and never hurt my gums."
• "The bristles are flexible and clean the crevices between my teeth very well."
• "The bristles are perfect to penetrate interproximal and im gum to clean out. So comfortable and result obviously makes me brush three times a day."
• "These toothbrushes are soft, but still do a good job of cleaning your teeth without irritating your gums."
