For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

I disagree on the toothbrush. The problem is all the e waste. Everything else being equal I would love it and my wife won't give it up but basically the manufacturers change and you can't get heads that will work and you end up having to buy a new brush every few years which is almost worse with rechargeables.

    But you could just go with Phillips? They have been using the same heads for a long time I believe. I buy mine from Costco in bulk.

    Im not sure who I started with but initially there was no rechargeables and then like the first rechargeable I got had to be replaced because we could not get heads. I gave up at that point. I just don't trust them to keep the things going. A few years is not enough for me its gotta last minimum a decade and preferably a few.

    I have been using Quip toothbrushes for quite a few years now and they seem to be going pretty strong. Every quarter they send me a new brush head and battery and your toothbrush is covered under wareanty as long as you have you subscription. I have rwally liked it and there doesn’t seem to be much risk of their support ending.
