RADIUS Toothbrush Review & Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to review a toothbrush from RADIUS. I love a company that is environmentally friendly and I couldn’t wait for my new toothbrush to arrive! I received the Original in teal…

My thoughts:

  • The handle is amazingly comfortable and I love that there is the option of a right or left handed toothbrush. I’m right handed, but Colby a lefty so I greatly appreciate finding a product that offers a left handed option.
  • The head is quite large and I have a nasty gag reflex but after the first use I had already adjusted and prefer the large head of the RADIUS to my other toothbrush.
  • The bristles are so soft and comfortable in my mouth. I have sensitive gums and even with a baby soft toothbrush they bleed, but with the RADIUS they didn’t. Perhaps this goes back to the larger head so I wasn’t pushing as hard or something, I don’t know which.
  • The only thing I wish was different was the option of a left handed kids toothbrush, Wyatt prefers his left hand and since I’m actually going to order from RADIUS as soon as the kids are due for new toothbrushes, so it would be nice to have that option.

From the RADIUS website…

RADIUS was founded on the Caribbean island of Tortola. James O’Halloran and Kevin Foley were architects who were fascinated by the idea of a functional and enjoyable toothbrush. They were appalled at the small head, hard toothbrushes of the day. Research indicates that the major problem in oral hygiene is that of compliance – people don’t use toothbrushes for long enough and tend to keep their toothbrush for too long. Dentists believe that with diligence – teeth and gums could be perfectly maintained for a lifetime. The average brushing time is from 31 to 65 seconds, depending on age or sex. The average toothbrush is thrown away after 10 months. RADIUS aimed to make the toothbrush comfortable, enjoyable and effective. With a mass of very soft bristles, a large head area for low pressure brushing and a comfortable handle, this toothbrush would let you brush lightly and accurately.

RADIUS was also wonderful enough to allow me to do a giveaway!
