New Toothbrush

Coming home Wednesday night (24 October) after a book event in Richmond Heights, I checked my mail and found the package I ordered the week before from Quip (https://www.getquip.com/). This is an electric toothbrush which came out two years ago. It is sold directly from Quip's website, but is now also available at Target (https://www.target.com/) stores.

I found out about quip late this summer, when my friend and former Enterprise (https://www.enterprise.com/en/home.html) colleague Melissa Needles got a job at Quip's headquarters in Brooklyn, New York as a customer experience associate. I checked out Quip and found it worth buying. Melissa recently gave me a discount code and I placed my order through Quip's website last week.

After receiving the package on Wednesday, I read the enclosed instructions and gave it a dry run in my mouth. The toothbrush's electric motor is timed for four 30-second brush vibrations--enough for the front and back of both sets of teeth to be adequately brushed. It is small, easy to hold in the hand, and easy to store and transport. Every three months, quip sends out a new brush head, so you have a good brush head every time. (They also offer toothpaste for purchase.)

I have brushed with my new Quip a few times and it has been going very well. I greatly appreciate the timed brush vibrator; I have been too hasty in brushing my teeth with my previous electric brush. I highly recommend Quip, and thank my friend Melissa for bringing this to my attention.

(On a somber note, I heard on Thursday from Melissa's mother Theresa that Melissa's aunt, Deborah Kuhlmann, had died this week. My condolences to Deborah's family and friends. I made a donation in her memory to St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness [https://www.sloca.org/].)

Later.
