Does anyone else use Lavera toothbrushes? We've been using them for years, very handy you just unclip the old head when it needs replacing. Wonder how much plastic would be saved if everybody used them

They're available from

I have never seen those before, but looking at the site, has anyone ever used the eco balls for their washing.

Eco balls for washing have, in the main, had a very bad press that I have read, ranging from no difference to being a load of rubbish. I've never tried them myself, though.
The toothbrushes are available from Suma, as well: 10 adult brushes for 12.18 + VAT, children's 10 for 12.18 + VAT and the heads for pack of 40 at 18.92 + VAT. I've been meaning to order some for ages, so this may be the spur I need for the next order!

Are they a sort of rubbery plastic, as opposed to a rigid type?

are we still talking about his teeth?

The greenshop stock Suma stuff by the way if you only want small quantities of their stuff. We've recently visited the place and it is a fascinating place!

I have rigid type teeth, myself. Are there significant advantages to the flexible sort?

They're a rigid plastic (the brushes not my teeth)
