You know when you're in the mood for a little 'self-love' - AND F**K, the batteries are dead. It's a feeling of great disappointment (especially when you realize you don't have extra batteries!). That's the feeling I got the first time I used the QUIP toothbrush. The creators of QUIP claim this is an electric toothbrush and IT'S NOT! It barely vibrates. I think the handle slightly vibrates, but the brush itself isn't moving. I was on vacation, stuck with this toothbrush and highly disappointed.

The QUIP concept is fantastic. You can purchase a variety of packages (toothbrush or toothbrush and QUIP toothpaste), along with a 'year prepay' subscription for toothbrush heads and toothpaste. Essentially, you won't have to put much thought into your dental care products going forward. You can purchase a set of two toothbrushes or even a family package that includes four toothbrushes. These days unboxing (subscriptions) are super-trendy - I practically have everything delivered to my home on a set schedule -  DIY meal delivery plans, healthy snack boxes, smoothies, cosmetics, wine..

The toothbrush design is sleek, lightweight comes a variety of metallic colors and the brush-head is a good size. I was most excited about the size and light-weight design. The toothbrush comes in a plastic test-tube - perfect storage. It also comes with a travel cover/wall mount. It's a sleeve that mounts on your wall or mirror for easy access. Everything about the QUIP toothbrush is perfect, EXCEPT that it doesn't feel like you're using an electric toothbrush at all. It's a regular toothbrush with a sexy design and a battery inside. 

I use the Phillips Sonicare Diamond Clean Toothbrush. It's much bigger, comes with an at-home charger (glass cup on a stand), and a travel/charging case.

Along with the case, it's huge and annoying to travel with. BUT it vibrates! 

Everyone is raving about the QUIP - it's getting amazing reviews. I agree the toothbrush has a lot of good qualities, but if the vibration is high on your must-have list, this tool falls short. I want to love the QUIP, but the lack of movement just won't satisfy my dental needs.
