In their review of the best electric toothbrushes, Wirecutter says Quip’s toothbrush vibrations are as weak as disposable toothbrushes from Oral-B. Like so many direct-to-consumer brands before it, Quip’s products sell customers on convenience, and the belief that a sleek, minimalist design translates to a better product - but falters it comes down to actual quality. If they’re on a refill plan, subscribers can get a $5 replacement brush sent to them every three months. The company’s electric toothbrushes (which start at $25 as part of a starter kit) run on a AAA battery, which enables the timer to shut off at the 2-minute mark. Most people know Quip from its staunch dedication to sponsoring podcasts, or its ubiquitous ads in the New York City subway. But at about the size of a tube of lipstick, Floss is slightly bigger and weightier, not to mention more expensive than a regular pack of floss you can get at the drugstore.
“Quip has applied its obsessive design ethos to create a completely new floss experience to inspire better habits and help to build routines,” the press material reads. The amount of floss is tiny in comparison to the applicator (which comes in iPhone-esque colors of rose gold, black, silver, and gold), and looks kind of like a tampon. All the weighty applicator does is house the refillable tube of floss, which emerges when you click the tube like a ballpoint pen. The floss is pre-marked in green every 18 inches, the “dentist recommended amount to give each tooth its own section”.Īt first glance of the photos, I thought the tube was meant to go into your mouth, like one of those floss picks that come in packs of 100. The metallic dispenser will sell for $20 and refillable floss canisters, which are automatically delivered every three months, will sell for $5 each. And the result? Simple, beautifully designed electric toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash for the whole family, catered to your lifestyle.Quip, the electric toothbrush subscription service, is launching its second product today: a floss dispenser called Floss. So we made it our mission to create honest, accessible, and simple oral care products that helped focus on the habits that really matter. We saw three main causes behind the problems: overly complex functionality, clunky products, and a total lack of services to cater to the modern lifestyle. Yet they have a far bigger impact on oral health than a "super ultra sonic" brush could ever have alone. Brushing too hard, not long enough or twice a day, not flossing or replacing your brush, and skipping the dentist are issues many of us ignore. Our journey began at a neighborhood dentist in New York, with a suggestion to use thecheapest electric brush available to fight the common, damaging brushing habits most people have. For a healthy clean, quip auto-delivers fresh brush heads every 3 months. And we've all lied to our dentist about how much we're flossing. Yet 75% of us don't change our bristles or visit the dentist on time. Regular upkeep: Regular product refresh and dental visits are a health need, not just a hygiene one. quip has the features teeth need, including timed sonic vibrations with guiding pulses. quip's sleek, lightweight design makes brushing simple and enjoyable, so you're more likely to do it twice every day.Ĭorrect technique: We've been led to believe that the more we spend and the more features we brush with, the better the clean, but it's not about what you use, it's the way you use it! And the same goes for floss. It's less about which products you use, more about how well you use them.Ĭonsistent routine: Consistently brushing and flossing is the key to preventing major oral health problems, yet 5% of us don't brush twice a day (and even fewer floss). What matters when it comes to oral health? The key to oral health is good habits, not gimmicks. What you get: Reusable pick, easy-grip handle. Pair with quip Anticavity Toothpaste + quip Electric Toothbrush.One refill pod replaces 18 single-use plastic picks.Preloaded, refillable dispensing case with mirror.
