I don't think I've ever been perfectly satisfied with a toothbrush. I examine the package and description of each toothbrush at a drugstore and choose what seems to be good quality. But it's always a gamble if the one I choose might actually meet or exceed my expectations.
In relative terms, I feel the Gum series is the best. They have a new product called Procare, which was about a dollar more expensive than normal ones. The brush's distal ends are extremely fine so that they enter the gap between the teeth and the gums, and thereby removes tartar, the package says. I decided to try this one and bought two different types as well for comparison.
Procare was not too bad and I felt particularly good after brushing my teeth. Interestingly, the feeling has been growing better day by day around my gums. That is a unique development I come to really like. Meanwhile, I don't think this new toothbrush is particularly effective to brush off stains on the surface of teeth because its fine distal ends would not be hard enough. As such, Procare has its own strength, but it is not perfect because of that ironically.
A long time ago, another unique toothbrush immediately caught my attention at CVS in the U.S. -- a Barbie doll constitutes its handle. I got it simply because it was funny.
But somehow I am too scared to use it. Why? Hard to explain, but I cannot come up with a more accurate adjective than scary to describe this toothbrush. Maybe because Japanese companies would never design a toothbrush looking like this and therefore it appears a bit too foreign to me.
Indeed, that might be the very reason why I'm scared about this toothbrush, because this feeling makes me wonder I might be slightly xenophobic somewhere deep inside. As such, this funny toothbrush makes me amused and uneasy at the same time and evokes an inner conflict. That would probably be the source of scariness.
On a totally separate note, she looks like the typical type that Donald Trump would like.
