Though the proprietary Quip toothpaste tastes a little closer to “dentist’s office standard” than the “fiery cinna-mint” I prefer (I know, don’t ask), I’m thrilled to know I’ll have a steady supply on hand and not have to squeeze every micro-drop of paste out of my regular tube of Crest.Īll in all, you’re guaranteed not just a superfresh, clean-feeling mouth, but also a pretty handsome addition to your bathroom. Or-because what good is a toothbrush if you don’t have anything to put on it?-you can also opt to pay $5-$10 every three months and get two tubes of toothpaste (a 4.7-oz tube that should last three months, and a travel tube) in the kit. Though, of course, the Quip isn’t just a toothbrush-it’s a new subscription service (think: Dollar Shave Club or Birchbox) that starts you off with the essentials-a kit that includes a base, a disposable brush head designed to last for three months, a brush cover, and a toothbrush handle made of brushed aluminum (in silver, slate, copper, or gold, $45) or textured plastic (in blue or green, $30)-then every three months sends you a new brush head for just $5. The only drawback is that I’ve successfully annoyed everyone I know with my endless ravings about a toothbrush. (Frankly, I think I’ve shaved in less time.) But ever since I welcomed my new little bathroom disciplinarian into my routine, my mouth has felt remarkably cleaner and fresher.

Now, that may seem like a no-brainer, but as someone who routinely catches himself blazing through his morning teeth-cleaning session, I was amazed-and admittedly horrified-to discover how long a full two minutes of brushing feels. And when it vibrates as it brushes, it does so gently, without skull-rattling force.īut here’s the kicker: It not only pauses every 30 seconds to signal when it’s OK to switch to a different quadrant of your mouth, it vibrates for exactly two minutes-exactly the length of time dental experts recommend you brush-before it shuts off. Instead, the Quip is minimalist and slender.
The brainchild of NYC industrial designer Simon Enever and product designer Bill May, the Quip toothbrush is mercifully low-tech, with no whiz-bang gear mechanisms, no handles the size of track-and-field batons, no clunky (and, eventually, toothpaste-encrusted) bases.
