You may wonder why this toothbrush is made of silicone and not the usual plastic. Well, it’s a material that’s hypoallergenic and medically standardized, so this is a really hygienic device.
Foreo is best known for its silicone facial cleansers, which have revolutionized skin care. Therefore, it is a big step to bring this technology and its design into oral care.
The outer bristles of the brush are also made of silicone that surrounds the gums while removing plaque. Being hygienic, they are non-porous and dry quickly to prevent the accumulation of bacteria. Perfect for a device that comes so close to the gum line.
This means that each head lasts longer than the average. While you should normally replace a head or a toothbrush every three months, these heads can last a year without deterioration. The small storage bag keeps it clean when you’re on a weekend trip.
A choice of 16 speeds gives you tremendous control, and 11,000 high-intensity pulsations per minute effectively resolve plaque.
In addition, only one fee per year is charged. It certainly did not lose performance in our tests, and other critics have said that is indeed true.
There is a high price, but the fact that every head and a full load should last a year and stay clean is quite revolutionary. It’s not the easiest to use because you can not feel it, but you’ll adapt soon. It is completely waterproof, easy to keep, travel-friendly and costs no cost to the earth after purchase. We do not know why many other brands have not followed.
