Colgate Optic White Wisp Mini Toothbrush, Coolmint - 24 Count

These are great! I will start with the packaging..I first thought I was going to have to get a little bag or something to put them after I opened them, not the case! I love the fact that each wisp is in its on little sealed section and I don't disturb the others when getting one out, it keeps them fresh! I love that it easily fits into my purse and doesn't take up much room at all. The taste is great, it leaves my teeth and mouth feeling fresh. They are so easy to use and it only takes a couple minutes. I highly recommend these, especially for work and when you are out on the go all the time!!

what an fabulous idea! putting a bead of toothpaste on an teeny tiny brush, making it disposable, and it even comes with a gentle pick for the crevices between your teeth! these are great to have on the go when a toothbrush is not available and you want to freshen your mouth quickly. i actually feel like these cleaned my teeth better than my usual toothbrush and toothpaste because of the smaller size! i felt like i could reach places that i couldn't with a toothbrush. i wish they had been around when my son had his braces! they would have been perfect for him to use at school. it is amazing that no water or rinsing is needed at all and that the bristles are soooo soft! i was not expecting that. i love that they come in a bag that can be resealed after each use. i just wish that each little brush was individually wrapped,too. the bag is small though so it's not an inconvience to carry it in my purse with me wherever i go.

I have been called a toothbrush collector by my family and friends. Every time there are some on sale, I get them. Changing every 3 months or more often is a must and I need to have some on hand. Or when overnight guests come by and claim to have forgotten theirs(yeah right, who does that?!). Well anyway, these Colgate Wisp travel brushes are perfect for between meals and snacks. Especially eating on the go. It is impossible to floss and drive, but having just one hand free for "touch ups" with this handy brush pick is all you need when you have to eat and run. My only qualm is that they are not individually wrapped, for taking a few with you instead of the entire bag. However, I have no problem tossing a couple in a zippered sandwich bag for quick clean storage. The gel is pleasant tasting and just the right amount to do a gentle clean and not swell your mouth. This is the perfect travel companion.

Did you ever come back to work after lunch, with your breath smelling of onions and garlic? The Colgate Mini-Brushes will take care of those odors. Mouthwash really won't do the job, because it can't clean out the food particles which contribute to bad breath. These little brushes have a tapered handle, which is very good for cleaning between teeth and under gums. There is a little spot of toothpaste in the brush, which lasts long enough for a good cleaning. You don't need water, and these are very portable. I have tiny zippered bags that I put 3 or 4 brushes in for my pocket. I recommend these for students, travelers, or for anyone who wants to take care of their teeth and breath away from home.

This is such a great idea, I don't know why no one has come up with it before. There is no need for toothpaste or water or mouthwash. The end is slightly curved and comes to a point, so you can use it as a toothpick or if there is something you can't get with the brush; the brush is small, round, and has a mint breath refresher in the center. It is only about 3" long, so it doesn't take up much room in your purse or pocket, and is made from a strong plastic so they are sturdy and don't bend or break. They are easy to use and work really well, so if you go out and want to make sure you don't have spinach stuck in your teeth, it's right there to help out! There are 24 in a pack, so you have enough to last a while; the only problem I found was that you really need something to put them in, a little plastic case or envelope or something. I don't want to just plop them in my purse to get dusty or collect lint or anything. Other than that, I found nothing wrong with them and I'll buy them once these are used up.

Perfect on the go! Great if you ever forget to brush your teeth!

These mini-brushes are not meant to take the place of your regular toothbrush. They are handy little tiny brushes to use between regular brushings or when it is inconvenient to carry a regular toothbrush. I think they would be convenient to have in your desk, locker, or toolkit to use at work or school after you eat lunch. It says “no rinsing necessary”, but I find having a sink available works best. It enables you to rinse out any food particles that you dislodge using the handy soft toothpick end of the mini-brush. However, if water is not available, these can still be used. Many a time I went back to work after lunch with a few meat morsels stuck between my teeth where having one of these mini-brushes would have solved the problem quickly. They also freshen your breath in case you just ate garlic or onions. This is done with the small bead of freshener that dissolves as you use the little brush. It takes a few uses to determine the best brushing action to use with the tiny brush, as it’s not the same as using a regular size toothbrush. I find that going horizontally across the teeth near the gum line works well. Also, with the top and bottom teeth together, you can get an up-and-down motion to be effective. I would like to see Colgate offer a travel container that holds 5 or 6 of these to carry in your purse or travel kit.

It is a tiny little brush. The circumference of the brush covers the surface of one tooth. The thin, narrow stem doesn't yield the best grip or comfort for holding between fingers. It is true that this requires no toothpaste or rinsing. The toothpaste comes from a round gel at the center of the brush, which is pretty cool. The toothpaste tastes very, very mild with a slightly bitter taste. It doesn't produce enough of a foam or taste to require rinsing, but I still prefer rinsing with water. The bristles are very bristle-y, so I only use it on my teeth and tongue, it's too rough to brush against my gums.The end of the brush is a sharp and narrow tip, which I use to scrape off the white tartar at the base of my teeth. I think this would be a very convenient tool to brush your teeth on airplanes or a quick freshening up on the go. But I wouldn't replace it with a good, thorough brushing with a regular size toothbrush, paste, and water.

My experiences and feelings with the Colgate Wisp Mini-Brushes are a bit mixed. I will agree that the packaging tells no lies, as they do provide a minty taste of freshness in the mouth (great after garlic and onions!) and the pick is handy for removing anything that may be trapped between teeth (I'm looking at you popcorn kernels!); however, I feel it falls short in a few areas. The brush is NOT individually packaged, so you either have to carry a whole 24 pack on your person or take one out and place it in your own sandwich bag or carry it plain and unprotected (which just seems gross). I do wish they were individually wrapped for sanitary reasons. Using the Wisp isn't too awkward, but all it really does is make me yearn to brush my teeth for real, with a FULLSIZE toothbrush, so it's a bit funny that way. The bristles could also stand to be a bit softer as well for those of us with sensitive teeth and gums. With a few tweaks this could be a regular use item, but for now I will just resign to using my fold down travel toothbrush when I need to brush on the go.
