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!

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.

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.

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!

I never thought I'd be writing a review for a toothbrush. But here I go anyway. So this really is the best brush I've ever used. I personally tend to look at brushing my teeth as a bit of a chore. It's quite tedious and repetitive. It's still repetitive, but what this toothbrush does to make it so nice is how soft and gentle it is, yet you still feel like you're getting everything clean. You know your gums don't get beaten, but still get strengthened by the action of brushing. The extreme bend on the actual brush also makes it easy to get behind and reach.

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!!

These toothbrushes are terrible. Everytime I brush, at least 1 or 2 bristles come loose. Really a gross feeling.

They don't last long either.

Substantial enough to clean (I use Peroxicare with them) but gentle on the gums.
The only brush I know of that fits this bill.
Glad to get the pack of six and save money.

I love the soft bristles on these brushes. I'm doing Invisalign & so brush my teeth often each day. I also love that these are recyclable. I would definitely buy them again.

Started subscribing to these toothbrushes for guests at my houses. The eco-friendly aspect helps my guest and I feel better about the single to week long use these bushes often receive. Quality high enough that I've started using as my travel brush. The long and steady curve on the brush help enhance the brushing experience. Great at keeping those peril whites nice and clean.
