Recycled Toothbrushes? Yep!

I buy new toothbrushes all the time! I think dentists recommend replacing toothbrushes every 3 months, and I follow that schedule. I really don't like using a toothbrush when the bristles start to bend and fray, and my boys seem to mangle theirs even more quickly than I do. Did you know that in the U.S. about 1 billion toothbrushes are thrown away each year?

When Mom Central and Preserve asked if I would like to try out a new toothbrush, I jumped at the chance. I was even more excited when I learned that they were made of recycled Stonyfield yogurt cups AND when I was finished with them, I could send them back (free postage!) and they'd be recycled again into decking material. What a great idea!

I worried about the cost of such a brush, but was pleased to find out that they retail for $2.04 at Target! If you click here, you can print out a coupon for $1/off the purchase of 2.

The toothbrush is comfortable to hold, and does a nice job cleaning my teeth. The bristles aren't too soft, and aren't too hard. The toothbrush did the job it was made to do!
