Review: Aquafresh Extreme Clean Toothbrush

I'll admit it; when buying toothbrushes, I'm easily swayed by the glitz and glamour of packaging. If it sparkles, swishes, or requires batteries, my eyes are instantly drawn. Sometimes, I don't even realize I was in need of a new toothbrush until I happen by that colorful aisle and find my attention captured by the legions of 30% better banners sprawled colorfully across those small toothbrush packages. The Aquafresh Extreme Clean Toothbrush was packaged as glamorously as they come, but unlike so many, it fully delivered.

I can't remember the last time I bought a toothbrush that didn't completely re-invent the category. Longer reach, vibrating head, and fading inidcator bristles are just a few of the innovations that have jumped at me over the years. None of them have really done that much. The Aquafresh Extreme Clean Toothbursh has rubber V's integrated in with the bristles. Aquafresh is calling it their "New Bristling System with Wiper Technology." I think my Honda Element has a feature similar to this.

Regardless of how ridiculous it sounds, this new innovation actually makes a big differene. As I brushed this morning, I felt the rubber wipers squeegee-ing my teeth. It felt like I was flossing and brushing at the same time. Afterwards, my teeth felt much cleaner with a lot less work.

Of course, this wasn't the only innovation. The toothbrush features a flexible head. If you're like me, you need that to counteract your iron grip. There's a comfort grip too. And it was packaged two to a box. I wonder if you're supposed to brush with one in each hand for maximum efficiency.

All in all, it's a really good new toothbrush. They even packaged my brushes in the color scheme of my website. I enjoyed the unique wiper technology, and it left me feeling clean all morning. Next time you're looking at those glittery packages, try the Aquafresh Extreme Clean Toothbrush. It not only looks flashy but performs well too.

Not to pick a nit, but what does "sprawn" mean?

...legions of 30% better banners sprawn colorfully across those small toothbrush packages

Otherwise, thanks! People forget sometimes that keeping your teeth in working order is one of the seven keys to longer life.

"Not to pick a nit, but what does "sprawn" mean?"

Absoultely nothing. Actually, it was a type-o and has been corrected. Thanks for pointing it out. : )

Wow, nice to see I'm not the only one writing reviews of common household items.

Ha, yea, I try to review anything that I think is worth a review. Except movies. I try to review every movie I see in the theater.
