Design and Functionality

Pros:

  • "It's a nice full sized toothbrush that can fold down to half its size."
  • "The idea to make the handle part of the casing is genius."
  • "It folds out to full size and the case closes nicely over the toothbrush."
  • "Best travel toothbrush ever. Packs small and opens sturdy."
  • "This toothbrush worked great for a two week trip because it is compact."
  • "The handle locks around the brush and makes it very sturdy, and then folds into a vented case."
  • "The brush folds into the handle, which has ventilation slits on one side to allow it to dry properly while stowed away."

Cons:

  • "Water and things get trapped in a part of the design which can make it dirty faster."
  • "Kind of hard to open once you closed the toothbrush, wasn’t the softest brush."
  • "One of them were already broken inside packaging."
  • "The design concept is clever, but these feel like they will snap at the hinge."
  • "Looks great! But..... when you use it the brush arm pops out of the two socket holes of the handle piece."
  • "Work good as intended but over some time they no longer snap shut."
  • "The handle doesn’t stay together at the hinge."

Portability

Pros:

  • "These fold up to a great size for travel or your purse, work very well and are very similar to a standard toothbrush when unfolded."
  • "Great for purse! I take it with me everywhere to brush when I’m away from home."
  • "It folds up so compact. I keep one in my travel kit, and one in my bag for use while at work."
  • "Very convenient for travel, I like to have extra on hand. They are perfect size they fold and fits in your pocket, purse or backpack."
  • "These are perfect for travelling or backpacking!"
  • "The fold design saves space in travel bag."
  • "These are amazing for traveling as they take up little room and you don’t have to try and clean a long tube that you normally put your toothbrush in."

Cons:

  • "The head of this toothbrush is very narrow and very small, I felt as though I was using a child's toothbrush."
  • "These will not fit in a standard toothbrush holder due to the increased girth of the folded product."
  • "Really loose and unstable when open, folded shut while brushing and ripped a chunk out of my lip."
  • "Plastic handle is on the flimsy side and breaks easily."
  • "The only downside is you have to keep them in another container/bag because with all the little tiny holes dirt can easily get inside even when the toothbrush is closed within itself."
  • "Bought because I recently got Invisalign and need a toothbrush on the go. After using for a while, the bristles start to flare out and stick out of the plastic casing after it's folded up."
  • "I washed this in the dishwasher and it warped.... didnt even get to brush my teeth."

Bristle Quality

Pros:

  • "The bristles are soft enough for my gums but also good enough to get all the gunk out of my teeth."
  • "They don't seem to sacrifice quality of bristles either."
  • "These are comfortable to hold, fold up, and are soft on the gums."
  • "Nice travel toothbrush. Cleans well with soft bristles."
  • "Small enough to fit in your pocket and still has a full soft head of bristles."
  • "Love that the bristles are soft so you don’t wear down your enamel by brushing too much when you’re traveling."
  • "The bristles are soft and the head is not too small but it'd be good for getting behind those back teeth."

Cons:

  • "The bristles were a bit too soft as I didn't feel as they did much to 'scrub' anything off my teeth -- it didn't feel clean either."
  • "These bristles make my tongue bleed when I try to use them to brush."
  • "The tongue and cheek brush on the back of the head is a joke."
  • "I usually buy soft toothbrushes and these totally were disappointing. They are tooooooo soft."
  • "The bristles are definitely NOT SOFT. I have bought and used many different brands of soft bristle toothbrushes over the past decade and these are genuinely the least soft I've ever experienced."
  • "These are advertised as soft bristled, but are extremely hard bristled."
  • "The brushes are very poor quality. After only 2-3 uses the brushes are bent and look like they’re really old."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Two in the package at a great price comparing to other sellers."
  • "This is a great deal for the money."
  • "Great price for a 2 pack."
  • "As a added bonus you get two toothbrushes for five bucks or a little less which is a big bang for your buck."
  • "The price is great as well for a reputable brand."
  • "Great value for the price, the handles are comfy to hold, and they can fit into a pocket!"
  • "Great for the price."

Cons:

  • "One of them were already broken inside packaging."
  • "Won’t buy again."
  • "I won’t get these again."
  • "This product was supposed to come with two toothbrushes. I only received one. It isn't worth the money."
  • "What a cheap ass piece of plastic. Used maybe a dozen times and broke."
  • "This would have been a great travel toothbrush except that it tasted disgusting."
  • "Hard to complain for the price, but these are made with flimsy, brittle, cheap plastic."
