Review: FireFly Toothbrush

One of the many joys {feel the sarcasm} of motherhood is instilling some of the basics in our children. Enter the woes of potty training and teeth brushing.

When I was given the opportunity to review the FireFly Toothbrush, I was excited.

The FireFly Toothbrush has a built-in light up timer that lights up and flashes for 60 seconds {The dentist recommended time that children should spend, brushing each row of teeth}.

Anymore, I don't struggle with getting my kids to brush, as much as I struggle with the duration. They are convinced that if they can taste the paste and make a few good swipes, all is well. To which, a battle typically ensues.

Knowing that I had a FireFly toothbrush on its way, I made it a point to tell my boys that something special was coming for them to try {hoping it would add that extra nudge of excitement}. It did.

One problem, however....

My little guys jaws dropped when they saw this:

"It's for girls", my youngest whined.

"It's pink, my favorite color is green", added my oldest.

Uh-Oh. Quick thinking on my feet, I convinced my boys that it wasn't a girl toothbrush. It was a tooth-fairy toothbrush. {Odd story, don't judge.}

It had worked. Disaster averted.

More importantly, the timer method worked. Easy to start, my oldest got to brushing those chompers {and made it through the full 60 seconds}.

As a reward for being such a good little reviewer, I bought him one in a less "girlie" color (and one for his brother):

I was impressed how much difference a light-up timer could make. It made their teeth-brushing experience fun and took my "nagging" out of the equation. That's a win win, if you ask me.

AND, the product is inexpensive {which is nice, if your kids are like mine. I can't tell you how many toothbrushes have been dipped in the fish-tank, taken a swim in the toilet or calcified -sitting on the counter with day old toothpaste}, and easy to find. I bought the above picture two-pack at my local wally-world.

A HUGE Thanks to FireFly, for this review opportunity.

I received the above mentioned product in exchange for an honest review.

The above is my own personal opinion and should be regarded as such
