I normally use a soft brush so thats what I brought. These are more like medium to hard which means they flatten quicker. These are no frills toothbrushes and get the job done. They do a good job of scraping away the sugar off of my teeth from my morning coffee(I fall into the category of brush after I drink my first cup - Some people do it the other way around -but to me, thats totally pointless because the coffee is going to make your breath stink again anyway PLUS coffee tastes AWFUL right after you brush).
The handles are rounded and arent the easiest to hold onto but for the price, I can totally deal with it. I change out my toothbrush once a week because I am not a fan of brushing with bacteria and germs. Anything that you put in your mouth daily to brush away bacteria is going to have some left behind on the bristles after youre done(not to mention spray from the toilet possibly floating onto the bristles). The bacteria from your mouth then throws a party on the end of your toothbrush and then we all know what happens once the lights go out. This is how other little germs and bacteria are born(bet ya didnt know that huh?)
Okay maybe not, maybe this is just my imagination - yes I imagine bacteria multiplying on my toothbrush - so therefor I change them out on the regular.
ALLLL that being said, would I order these again? Maybe, maybe not - depends on if I can remember them the next time I go to the store. If I buy everything except for the brushes that I actually went for then yes, I would buy these again.
