Great toothbrush now the kids want to brush. They keep brushing until the lights go out. Which is longer than they used to. All of the kids think it's cool to shut the bathroom light off and let the toothbrushes light up the room when they brush!!!! The only drawback it is hard to turn them on. :)

I know the timer is supposed to be a "minimum" time for brushing teeth, but for my twin 3-year-olds (who would drag toothbrushing out forever if they could), it is a great product to get them to STOP brushing their teeth. Now, to make sure the job actually gets done, I get "Mommy's turn" to brush their teeth first (for one cycle of flashing), and then they get to do it themselves (for another cycle). I LOVE this product for making bedtime routine go a little smoother than it would otherwise. I found the Firefly toothbrushes at my local grocery store, but sadly, they stopped carrying it, so now I have to buy it on-line (and pay shipping). :-(

My kids use to rush when brushing their teeth. When I seen this toothbrush at the store I figured I would buy a couple and let the kids try them out, after all there were only $1 each.

That night my kids were really excited about brushing their teeth. They know they have to keep brushing till the light stops. This toothbrush is perfect for teaching kids that they need to spend more than a few seconds brushing. I seen they also make some toothbrushes with music too. If I see one at a store I go try i'll probably pick some up and try those too. But until then, we'll be sticking with the light up ones.

Great idea - my kids were so excited to turn them on and brush the whole time. They are a bit hard to turn on for my 3 and 5 year old so I have to do it for them (no big deal). They are at Target for $1 - stock up (why they are $6 on amazon is a mystery to me - what a rip off).

Since my oldest son is the one who reviewed this product, I asked him what he thought of his new toothbrush. Here is what he had to say:

**I can't believe how long I have to brush my teeth. I used to only brush for like 5 minutes but now it takes forever (Mom's note: I love his concept of time..haha!) because I have to press the button, brush my top teeth, press the button again, then do my bottom teeth. I like how it flashes though, that's cool. And it's Spiderman too!**

So he thinks he's brushing longer, but he's really not. I do like that it's teaching him how long he should be brushing. He's went from chewing on toothpaste, to brushing for 10 seconds, to hanging out in the bathroom for 30 minutes (what the heck he does in there, I have no idea). Overall I give this product an A... Mommy approves!

The product I ordered did not work. The company would not help me get a new one, simply told me to contact the manufacture directly.

Slow and costly shipping. Manual toothbrushes. Timer only 1 minute. Suggested brushing time is 2 minutes.
