Since I got this toothbrush just over three weeks ago, I have been kind of evaluating it as I use it, and well, I don't think I would get it again unless there are some simple changes made to their design.
While the ergonomic handle curve probably actually serves some function, I don't like it. It isn't comfortable in my hand for brushing at all. I can't generalise because I'm sure some people probably like it.
The second point is, the rubberised grip is on the wrong side for me. The back of the toothbrush is ribbed with a rubbery material but it really needs it at the front as well because it is just smooth and slippery plastic, especially when it is wet. The thumb gel grip loses pretty much all traction ability when wet also.
The bristles though seem to be working fine, though after three weeks, the colouring on the side bristles has faded quite a lot, and if you follow their advice about changing the brush when the colour goes, it means that I should be changing the brush pretty soon. However, by examination, the brush head seems perfectly fine and there is no evidence of wear besides the colour coming off, so perhaps it may have some truth, or it might just be a way to generate greater sales?
In any case, the next time I go and get a new toothbrush, I'll take a look at the other ones available.

I can't believe you make toothbrushes interesting.
I used a simple Oral B for a long time. Standard handle (maybe it had a little rubber ridging on it) but I always chose the ones that decolor after a while. Once it's pretty much all white, usually took about 2 months, I actually remembered to change my toothbrush.
I had a simple white and doubled sided grip Oral B also for a while, but it didn't have a colour fade indicator though.
I'm sure someone must find toothbrushes interesting without having someone make it sound interesting. I on the other hand would wish I could make myself sound interesting enough for companies to hire me lol
