As someone with a toothbrush subscription: I now change my toothbrush every 3 months. Left to my own devices it was closer to every year.
I am assured by everyone that this is better. I don't really feel like it's something worth thinking about so I am happy it's being taken care of by not-me.
- lotsofpulp 9y agoA wholesale pack from Costco and a repeating calendar event on your phone accomplish the same thing, and I don’t see how shipping an individual toothbrush can be cheaper than that. And I would think many people already have spare toothbrushes lying around in case family or friends visit and don’t have theirs.
- ghaff 9y agoThat's my feeling anyway. Managing a bunch of subscriptions sure seems like a lot more mental effort than adding things to shopping lists when they're running low or doing as you say. (Unless it's really something you use substantial and predictable quantities of.)
- smackfu 9y agoI’d assume most people at least change it when they get a free one at their six month cleaning.
- vuln 9y agoLooks like you're also assuming most people can afford cleanings twice a year...
- ghaff 9y agoA dentist cleaning without dental insurance is $100 or less in the US. Yes, I realize there are people for whom that is a non-trivial expense. The overlap between that demographic and those getting some startup toothbrush service is, I would assume, nil.
- RightMillennial 9y agoIf you're a consumer of niche subscriptions, I don't think a dentist appointment every 6 months is going to be a financial burden.
