I got these for cleaning (not my teeth but around the house). The Toothbrush it about the best thing for cleaning my bike (the gears and chain) and for cleaning other items that need a bristle to clean (concrete, tough stains,...). However, toothbrushes in the stores are so expensive that you cannot really consider buying them for cleaning these types of items. I found these and gave these a chance! These are great! They are basic toothbrushes with standard bristles and a plastic handle. They are just a basic toothbrush for pennies. This is exactly what I wanted. When cleaning my bike I can scrub the gears and chain and just throw it away and not bother trying to clean and reuse a greasy brush again later. Each of the brushes are individually wrapped (not bad if you needed some throw-aways on a trip or to keep in the glove box for meetings). The package I received was a box filled with boxes filled with individually wrapped toothbrushes (so many toothbrushes!). I did not count them but 144 looks right. Plus since they are like 20 something in each small box you can put a box in the shed and have it for yard work and keep a box in the house for household cleaning. This is just convenient.If you want a basic brush for all sorts of use that are super cheap and can just be thrown away after use (whether cleaning your teeth or cleaning anything) than these are a great buy and work perfectly! I am very happy with these and when I am out (will probably be a while), I will definitely buy more!
