If you, too, have been curious - or if you saw the photos above and thought, Hell yes, I could get down with a pretty toothbrush! - read on for my thoughts on what the Quip is like IRL. Later, I interviewed founders Simon Enever and Bill May (who are SO nice, but look like they were sent directly from Central Casting to portray hipster bro startup founders) at Quip’s office in Dumbo.
So a few weeks after I bought the new Sonicare, Quip sent me two toothbrushes to try and review. It's fine (I’d owned two Sonicares before this one and both were fine), but the Quip caught my eye because it’s so beautiful, and because I was seeing the ads everywhere. In July, I told my dentist that I was planning to get a Sonicare she approved, and told me to make sure that I got one with a “DiamondClean brush head.” This seemed reasonable enough.except then I discovered that the DiamondClean one costs $190, to which I said “lol NOPE BYE,” and bought this one instead, which cost $25 at the time. Interested in reading more reviews? Check out our list of the best toothbrushes.My journey to the Quip began when I decided to re-commit to flossing and start using an electric toothbrush again. Fairywill boasts a quiet toothbrush with five different brush modes. It has a relatively slim design but not quite as slim as the Quip. Like the Philips model, it’s powered by a charger, and it has a pressure sensor that will stop movement if you brush too hard.įairywill Electric Toothbrush: The ADA-certified Fairywill Electric Toothbrush costs about $30 ( view on Amazon).

Oral-B Pro 1000 Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush: Selling for about $50, the Pro 1000 Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush has a round, rotating brush head ( view on Amazon). Similar to the Quip, it runs for two minutes, but instead of a replaceable battery, this one plugs into the wall and recharges. Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush: The ProtectiveClean 5100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush from Sonicare is priced at around $80 ( view on Amazon). With a subscription, they’re $5 each for a three-month supply, which is relatively pricey compared to most toothpaste and floss products on the market.Ĭompetition: Lots of options but no exact matches
Quip pink metal toothbrush plus#
Starter kits-which come with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a refillable flosser tool-range from $45 to $80, plus $10 for shipping.įor refills, the toothpaste and dental floss end up being pretty expensive. You can buy an individual toothbrush or get a starter kit. The less expensive models are made from plastic, and the more expensive ones are made of metal. Essentially, it’s a reusable dental floss dispenser with a retractable top that clicks open and closed with the press of a thumb.Įach Quip item is also available for a one-time purchase without a refill plan. The flossing tool is also sleek with a compact design. However, the cap can be placed upside down on a flat surface for upright countertop storage. It has an adhesive strip that’s supposed to stick to a wall or mirror for at-home storage, but mine kept falling off. The Quip toothbrush comes with a long plastic cap, which acts as both a brush head protector and a holder. As with most toothbrushes, Quip brush heads are supposed to be replaced every three months, and that’s about how long the battery lasts, too.
Inside the toothbrush is an included AAA battery. The replaceable brush head comes off by pulling it while applying a little bit of pressure on the seam.
While this isn’t typically at the top of the list of toothbrush traits, I have to admit it’s a plus for me. With an almost Instagrammable appearance, the product definitely has a cool factor. This toothbrush is about 7.5 inches long and nearly half an inch in diameter.
