"Love the brushes but not the bubble wrap envelop. Won’t buy again for this reason."

"I comfortably claim that the majority of people buying this are buying it to get away from plastic. The brush itself works well and is wood, the package the individual brushes are in are recyclable cardboard... But the package all the toothbrushes came in was a Colgate branded plastic bubble wrap. Come on! Every step of the way should be plastic free. It's better yes, but there could be so much more that's done to stop using single use plastic."

"The toothbrush itself is a nice design and utility.

Bristles seem soft enough and once you get used to the feel of the bamboo (offers a bit more texture than plastic one) - it easily works as well as any average toothbrush.

A large factor in my ordering this product was to help reduce plastic waste. Unfortunately these come packed in a large plastic padded envelope from Colgate and with a desiccant package in each brush box. Then that goes into yet another plastic shipping bag.

This is likely still a bit better than using a typical plastic brush and helps ensure the bamboo doesn't grow mildew or mold, but makes one wonder about the true "green" benefit of the product..."
