As my girls get older, they want to brush their teeth by themselves. It’s hard for me to let go of that control, but they do need to learn to do it on their own. I monitor their brushing and take over when necessary, but I have often thought that maybe a battery-operated toothbrush might make brushing easier. So, when I was approached to try the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush My Way Electric Toothbrush
, which is geared for girls ages 3-12, I couldn’t have been happier.
A few highlights of the toothbrush from the press release:
- The first and only customizable battery toothbrush, which makes brushing fun!
- Packaged with over 140 stickers: pink and purple letters, princess-themed, lovable animals, and fun phrases
- Water-safe stickers may be applied to the thick part of the handle
- Unique “gem” on/off button
- Pink bristles and battery cap
Lily was very excited to personalize her toothbrush and quickly chose a random set of stickers (including her name, of course) to stake her claim to the brush. When brushing, I feel like she brushed longer with the Spinbrush then when she brushes with her regular manual brush. It is a little noisy, but it didn’t seem to bother her one bit. The stickers stayed put even once run under water.
At just $6.99, I feel that the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush My Way is a great way to get your child involved with their own dental hygiene. My daughter was much more excited to brush because she designed the instrument and made it “cool!”
