Product Description

The Preserve Toothbrush was developed by dentists and engineers to be a high performance brush - and from the start, it and its packaging are designed to have minimal impact on our Earth's resources. Through our innovative recycling partnership with Stonyfield Farm«, we source at least 25% of our handle plastic from recycled yogurt cups. The Preserve's packaging is not only a reusable carrying case, but the materials are wood-based plastics from renewable forests. When you are finished with your Preserve toothbrush, use our postage-paid mailer to recycle your used Preserve and case into plastic lumber products, like park benches.

Customer Reviews

awkward shape, glad its good for environment
The design of this toothbrush was a little awkward to me. I guess its subjective but never feels exactly right. The angle is wrong for the way I am used to brushing my teeth. The case is nice and doubles as a travel case so don't throw it away. The bristles are fine. The toothbrushes come with a mailer so you can mail them in when you're finished with them. Thus completing the recycle process.

Better than "Regular" Brushes
Preserve Toothbrush, Soft / B000MUDJBU

I bought these toothbrushes because they were made of recycled plastic, adn I feel enough guilt over the state of the planet as is, without having to stress over toothbrush purchases. What I did not expect, however, is that I would end up liking these brushes better than the ones I was using.

I was concerned when I saw the curved shape of the toothbrush, but within seconds of using the brush for the first time, I felt that the brush was easier to hold and use than the straight brushes I've used all my life. I was amazed at how quickly my fingers adapted to the new shape! The bristles are also wonderfully soft, perfect for my sensitive gums. Brushing is now less painful and more efficient, and it is easier to reach my back teeth with the curved handle.

All that and I feel slightly less guilty about my toothbrush. And I don't have to drive all the way to the store to pick these up! I couldn't be happier with these brushes.

Great Brush!
I thought the curved handle was just a marketing gimmick, but it really makes it easier to hold on to the brush. The bristles are very soft. I'm surprised to find that I really like this brush! I'm going to give the ultrasoft one a try next time. Highly recommened! You can also send this back to Preserve using a pre-maid postage label that you can print from their website to recycle the Preserve the toothbrush. Highly recommended!
