Advantages: Eco-friendly, as good as any other toothbrush for cleaning teeth.

Disadvantages: -

First off no it isn't made from other peoples scabby old toothbrushes.

Preserve* are a company I came across when shopping at Sainsburys. I was in need of a new toothbrush and scanning the shelves for one I came across the preserve toothbrush. The toothbrush comes in a see through travel packet (the kind you buy to put your toothbrush in when travelling abroad to keep it clean) which was a great idea for me as I am away from home a lot of the time and is available in a range of bright colours, there is also the choice of Medium, Soft or Ultrasoft bristles.

The toothbrush was designed by a group of dentists and eco-peeps to make sure the toothbrush was not only suitable and effective to clean teeth but also eco-friendly. The handle is curved 45 degrees which apparantly gives you the right angle to clean your teeth.

The brush handle is manufactured from recycled yogurt pots, the bristles are soft virgin nylon placed in tri-level with softer outer rows to protect gums and tooth enamel.

Just as good as any fancy toothbrush, really soft but hardwearing bristles.

The packet also works as advertisement with the company name on it so spreads the message when left on peoples sinks.

Summary: You even get a toothbrush case with it- makes economical use of the packaging.
