I had bought mmeine first Curaprox at the pharmacy. Out of curiosity and because the color combination looked so great. The here then I have already ordered a real fan. The bristles are soft but super effective. Feels like after professional dental cleaning at the dentist. Have equal away a few for Christmas, so stuck as a gag on the gifts (there are cases to the bristle head). After initial Lacher the first brush were even tested on Christmas Eve and everyone loved it.
