    Default Colgate Wisps on Woot.com for $0.21 per brush, today only

    For those of you who use wisps...

    http://woot.com/

    48 pack for $10 shipped puts these at 21 cents a brush. If you buy 3, the shipping stays the same so you're looking at $19.97 which comes to $0.14 per brush.

    These tend to come to $0.49 per brush in stores and $0.27 on other websites at times.

    ...and for those of you who do not use wisps: That's nice.

    You beat me to it. I was wondering what you guys thought of this deal. If its really worth it to buy these things instead of bringing a filed toothbrush. On a week trip, my wife and I would need at least 3 of these packs. The last time I used these things, I was able to get 2 uses out of 1 wisp..

    I bought 2 packs from Wal Mart once. Wasn't impressed at all. A regular toothbrush is better and probably lighter than a few of the wisp.

    I've tried them before as well, and they feel gritty and do not leave my teeth with that clean feeling a nice brushing will give them.

    Also for those of you who are prone to use the convenient things, if you floss with those disposable pick things, they put studies out that instead of always cleaning your mouth, some times they spread bacteria as well.

    these are a better, far lighter choice - and none of the crud that's in commercial toothpaste!

    Yeah I think they're good to get rid of bad breath, but I don't think they're designed to replace a regular toothbrush. Plus, they are not vegetarian.

    I carried them awhile before going out with the regular toothbrush. They actually got my teeth more clean than a toothbrush but only because I rigorously used the little pointy end around every tooth front and back in meticulous fashion.

    Waste of money and produce extra garbage, and they don't even clean as well as a regular brush. A regular toothbrush with half the handle cut off is plenty light.
