BrytonPick [Product Review]

So, my sample of the BrytonPick arrived today for trial! Sweet! Even more convenient was that we just finished a chicken in mushroom gravy dinner so I got my chance to really try it out.

So, here's the thing in use:

 And it's even safe for braces!

First, a few basics on the product from the pamphlet that was sent with the trial as well as what I've found from their site.

It retails for $4.99 for a 3-pack at Drugstore.com. And, considering they're reusable for up to around 30 days, sounds like a fair deal to me rather than spending close to the same amount for single-use flossers. It is, though, a different kind of flosser.

I have a neighbor that I recently noticed would tear apart an old landscape photograph into little pieces and use it to clean the food out from between her teeth. I thought it was weird at the time but I can see why she does it. Not only does it latch onto the food stuck in there, it pulls the entire piece out as there's more for the food to cling to.

From my letter insert that came with the product:

Did you know: ADA statistics show that only 12% of the population flosses regularly, mainly because floss is not convenient or easy to use. With today's busy lifestyle, there is rarely time or a proper place to floss after meals. Since not many products are reusable or comfortable to carry, people often use dangerous improvised tools like; a pen cap, paperclip, staple, fingernail, edge of paper, or worse!

[A/n: Now, of that list, how many have you ever used to clean between your teeth? Yup. Uhuh. That's what I thought. Me too.]

Solution: BrytonPick is stylish, convenient, and discreet, making it more socially acceptable than typical products. It is designed to be used daly, when on the go, to remove food debris and plaque from between teeth after meals and snacks.

BrytonPick is made in the USA [Woo-hoo!] from completely recyclable materials. [Another woo-hoo!] An additional environmental benefit is that BrytonPick is reusable (because of its germ-resistant stainless steel cleaning strips), thereby reducing the waste stream.

End company information & back to me. :]

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to think of this thing. I hate flossing. (Hate it. H A T E it. Seriously) And had to spend forever looking for our thing of floss yesterday because of a piece of chip stuck between my molars. In the end, I ended up using the flippy-out pointy thing on nail clippers to dig the chip out. Yeah. It was gross but the chip hurt more than the nail clippers (NOT TOES!!) was gross.

But this this is weird. It just feels weird between my teeth. I know it'll take a few uses for me to get used to but I don't really mind it. I've actually had it in my mouth this entire review just because.

It comes in little plastic pouches that you tear in half to open and the bottom of which you can actually use as a carry case to stick the pick back in. It's also super thin and about half the size of a credit card so that you can stick it in your wallet/purse and carry with you.

Plus, these things are shaped like little boomerangs so that's cool.

I did get a free product sample so I could review it. I did use it to pick chicken out from between my teeth. I do plan on using it some more. Overall, would I recommend this product? Yes. I really would.

I've seen lots of family/friends use photographs, fingernails, knives, etc. to pick their teeth. Dangerous and gross. But this thing has a lot of potential. Especially considering it's green and made in America. Everything America loves. <3



Also, this is supposed to be at the bottom:

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
