 Awesome ToothbrushesMar 08, 2007
By Nestor
I've been looking for a super soft toothbrush that's not abrasive on my gums and this is it! So many toothbrushes that are "soft" start that way, but the bristles quickly harden with use. These bristles stay soft and they don't scratch up my gums. The arch of the toothbrush also makes brushing easy, especially in the way back. The price was right and the colors are pretty too!

Best toothbrush ever made!Jun 05, 2008
By D. Parks
I've used every brand of toothbrush and this one is outstanding! It is difficult to find an ultra-soft toothbrush for adults, so I was delighted to discover this one. The curve of the handle is ergonomic, the bristles are comfortable but effective, and the fact that it is made from recycled materials (and that they encourage users to send old products back for further recycling) is even better! Forget all the others---buy these toothbrushes.

Great toothbrushes!Jan 07, 2008
By J. Weigel
These toothbrushes are great quality and ultrasoft for the person who has a tendancy to brush too hard. I like them better than any you find in the stores.

Finally ULTRA SOFTJan 02, 2009
By Reviewer
I tend to brush hard, but even light brushing with soft toothbrushes irritates my gums. Preserve ultra soft is exceptionally soft and doesn't feel like sandpaper like so many so-called "soft" brushes. This is the first TRULY SOFT brush that I have ever experienced. Instead of feeling pain, my mouth feels clean and massaged. It's also great that the eco-friendly brushes are latex-free!

Good for your teeth, good for the environment!Jan 17, 2009
By J. Nitzky
When I first saw these toothbrushes, I thought, What a great idea! Recycled plastic, teaming up with another Enviro-friendly company (Stoneybrook, to recycle their yogurt containers) and the best thing is that they provide packaging to send back the toothbrushes to be recycled when you are done! So I thought I'd try them. I need soft toothbrushes anyway, and I found these to be very soft, comfortable on my teeth and to hold the brush, and the bristles have held up great over 3months. Since it is recommended to throw away toothbrushes and use a new one every 4-6 months (because of germs and bristles start to fray), you can feel better about wasting toothbrushes since these can just be recycled!
Anything small we can do to treat the planet better is a great idea and this is a real winner. Plus, Amazon makes it even easier by saving some "green" in our wallets, offering lower prices for buying in bulk, and then an extra 15% if you use "Subscribe and Save"!
Update - still using over a year later and I am still happy with these brushes! I now use the Kids version for my kids and they love them!!
Update #2 1/16/2011: You can conveniently recycle your old Preserve toothbrushes in the "Gimme 5" bins at your local Whole Foods!
"Other options to recycle your Preserve Toothbrush(from the Preserve Website):
- When you buy your next toothbrush, simply use the package it comes in as the return mailer for the toothbrush you're ready to retire. The Mail Back Pack is available at Whole Foods, Target and increasingly in many other locations.
- Pop it in a Postage Paid Mailer available at Trader Joe's and many coops and natural food stores.
- Recycle it in our Preserve Gimme 5 bins (along with all other Preserve products). go to [...] for a list of locations.
