Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Review & Giveaway

The great people at Arm & Hammer and Orajel sent me a few of their products to try out, ARM & HAMMER® Spinbrush® Sonic Brush, ARM & HAMMER Toothpaste, Baby Orajel, and Orajel Toddler Training Toothpaste.

I had a feeling that I would like the ARM & HAMMER® Spinbrush® Sonic Brush and I do! I love the clean you get from the sonic brushes but I have some sort of mental block against charging things so traditional sonic brushes just don't work for me. (Add to my mental block the fact that my teeny bathroom, you'll remember from last week, doesn't have a single countertop in it to stuff on.) So I am loving the Spinbrush. The ONLY downside is that I can NOT get away with brushing my teeth in peace because Bryan LOVES brushing his teeth and the Spinbrush, while not loud really lets him know immediately that I have the nerve to try to brush without him.



From the company:

New ARM & HAMMER® Spinbrush® Sonic BrushesDeliver Superior Clean At An Affordable Price Princeton, NJ (May 1, 2009) — ARM & HAMMERSpinbrush® battery-powered toothbrushes introduce sonic technology at an affordable price with their new Spinbrush® Pro Clean Sonic and Spinbrush® Pro Whitening Sonic toothbrushes.

I was skeptical about the ARM & HAMMER Toothpaste though. I've been trying lots of different toothpastes lately looking for a good that does it "all" but actually has a taste I like, with very little success. I like really minty toothpastes because they make me feel l have a clean mouth (you know no bad breath). And ARM & HAMMER Toothpaste really is minty and does a great job. I didn't think to take a photo before to test its whitening ability but I'think' my teeth are actually a little whiter already.The Orajel products are something that I have already tried and loved with the older boys. But as with everything with them I can never know if Bryan will take to things the same way. But he also loved the Orajel Toddler Training Toothpaste. Like I said, he loves to brush his teeth but up until now he's just used water and his brush. He does great with the toothpaste and loves anything that makes him more like the big boys. And I love that its from Orajel!

And then there's Baby Orajel, which no mother should be without. So I'm embarrassed to say I was. Well, technically I'm pretty darn sure there is some, SOMEWHERE in this house. However, it couldn't be found if my life depended on it. And while I don't think Bryan is working on any teeth right now...I know he will be again sometime soon. But today i came up with a different use for it...Timmy has his first wiggly tooth. He realized it was wiggly two weeks ago but it hasn't gotten much wigglier because, much to my suprise, he's barely touched it. But this morning he was messy around and caught something on it and yanked it forward. So we tried some Baby Orajel because he complained it really hurt. Well needless to say it worked. But since I let him put it on himself...it also worked on his tongue and lips. He was NOT happy with that result but when he calmed down we aked about the tooth. Oh, yeah no pain. So dad suggested it was a good time to work on it, so he sat and wiggled it for a bit while he watched TV!
