Tom's of Maine Natural Antiplaque Baking Soda Toothpaste Toothpastes Review

Tom's of Maine Natural Antiplaque Baking Soda Toothpaste Toothpastes

This is a great natural, cruely-free toothpaste (no animal ingredients or experimentation). Best of all, it actually tastes good. Among all the other flavors of ToM toothpastes out there--ranging from strawberry to cinnamint to wintermint--this is one of my favorites. I'd definitely recommend it if you want a natural plaque-fighting toothpaste without all the other stuff included: animal by/products, saccharin, or preservatives and dyes.
Ingredients: Calcium carbonate (chalk), glycerin, water, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), carrageenan (seaweed), peppermint oil, sodium lauryl sulfate (from coconut oil), myrrh and propolis.

Colgate Wisp Peppermint, 16-Count (Pack of 2) Review

Colgate Wisp Peppermint, 16-Count (Pack of 2)

The idea of keeping a toothbrush around for between meals sounds like a great idea. But using a typical toothbrush and keeping toothpaste around isn't. So when I heard about the Wisps, I was anxious to try it out.
The primary use, which is to quickly brush your teeth, works as expected. I wasn't sure how well the small toothbrush and bristles were going to work. The handle is small, but very sturdy. It showed no signs of bending or breaking. The bristles are very soft. So this should appeal to everyone, but may not be 'powerful' enough for those that like hard bristles. I prefer medium, but the soft ones worked really well. I actually tested this right after I ate dinner. I won't get into the details, but my teeth and mouth feel very refreshed.
The peppermint flavor comes from a small gel-like sphere in the middle of the bristles. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a liquid or hard. When using, I wasn't able to use all of it, but I assume that may be by design. I actually brushed for quite a while.
The built-in toothpick is a nice feature, but it wasn't as effective as I had hoped. Again, I don't want to go into details, but wasn't able to work very well. Also, a word of caution, the point is very sharp. Much sharper then a wooden toothpick. It could cause sensitive gums to bleed, if not used with care.
In my opinion, the packaging could be made a little more travel friendly. For instance, the package comes with two brushes. So if you just use one, you still have to carry around the whole thing. Also, the protective foil didn't come off smoothly. So it was somewhat difficult to take out the toothbrush. These are really just minor details, but I thought I'd share my experience with you.
Pros
====
- Toothbrush actually works quite well, but it tickles
- Peppermint taste is nice and more powerful then I anticipated, but in a good way
- Toothbrush is very sturdy
Cons
====
- Packaging is a little more bulky then it should be
- Metal wrap didn't open cleanly, so brush was stuck
- Toothpick is sharp, but maybe a little too soft to be effective
- A little pricey at ~$1/brush
In the end, I would recommend this product for those that are perhaps obsessed with clean fresh mouth. They work as advertised, but could use a few minor enhancements.

Colgate Wisp portable peppermint flavor mini-brush with freshening bead - 4 ea Review

Basically a mini toothbrush with a blue alien fish egg in the middle filled with minty freshness. The opposite end has a flexible point that serves like a toothpick while overall it's about as long as my middle finger
Here are the problems:
1) I Could not open the package until I spotted the pull tab. They should really make this more obvious. Even then, you have to fish the thing out, a two handed job. Could the packaging be bigger and waste more plastic please? They're packaged two in one blister so with this much space I could actually store a travel toothbrush and a travel toothpaste!
2) They say that you don't need a sink or water, but my experience was that after I was done using it, you have enough saliva from the minty capsule that you really want some place to spit and rinse. You also have to be careful about how you hold it when using it, otherwise you end up with saliva on your hands. Now you show up to your meeting with fresh breath....and sticky hands...
3) Brush is way too small (smaller than my pinky nail) so it takes a while to get good coverage - oh yeah, also those bristles are STIFF.
4) Iffy ergonomics - it's small, remember? Oh, now it's covered with your spit, so kind of slippery too. There's a groove to help prevent it rotating in your fingers but it does take some coordination and attention to use properly. Forget about using it while driving. If you try to use this after a late night at the bar - you'll probably drop it on the floor, and that puddle isn't beer.
5) This product wastes a reasonable amount of plastic with each use. Of course this might be a positive if you are an environazi hatin' SUV driver and want to freshen up after eating your BK double cheeseburger with beef from clear cut rainforest...;)
After using this four times I decided the only advantage this has is that it's smaller (not by much) than the smallest travel toothbrushes and you don't have to carry around any toothpaste - you can also use those without a sink if you have a kleenex to spit into.
Instead, I recommend the Oral B Brush-Ups.
Oral B Brush-ups, Textured Teeth Wipes, 12 wipes
These are textured sleeves which fit over your finger, impregnated with minty freshness. They are so small you can keep them in your wallet next to other foil covered things you might need if your breath is fresh enough.
They are much easier to open (one handed, while driving, speaking from experience) and easier to use (slip it over your finger and then rub your teeth, gums, etc) Use it while driving, jogging, bungee-jumping, or playing tennis.
