I am worried about the environment and wanted to change my habits, but a manual bamboo toothbrush is not for me, so I thought I’d give these a try. Only had it a short while, buts fits my Oral B brush well and is comfortable to use will see how easy it is to recycle when the time comes, watch this space
I saw a lot of negative reviews for similar products from other brands (not fitting, or damaging their lips or gums), so I was worried about trying these ones, but the reviews were good so I purchased a pack.
Compared to the official version; the heads are slightly smaller with firmer bristles (which I actually prefer), but they don’t have the fading replacement indicator. Otherwise they’re identical to the official ones.
Other reviewers are correct about official Oral-B heads; they can be dropped off at TerraCycle locations.
However there are few near me, and none of them has opening hours I could meet, and no confirmation they were still operating.
So the fact these can be sent off for less than a 1 doesn’t bother me, I’ll just save a few up before posting.
Finally older pictures seem to show plastic packaging, but mine were packaged in just recyclable cardboard.
is disintegrated and all the tiny brush it will be in your mouth
so I ordered them because its recycling charcoal whatever… but after first use brush was starting to dismantle disintegrating in my mouth … and wasn’t a nice feeling when I have all those tinny bits in my mouth… don’t buy this wasta of money
A step in the right direction, just needs a little improveme
After about three weeks of use on the very first one, the connection to my electric handle started to loosen. Another week after that it was loose enough to come off during use. I’m stingy enough to make sure I get 3 months use out of it though (I’m 2 months in as I type) and I’m hoping the second head in the pack fits a little tighter!
Can be recycled
I chose this item specifically for its recyclable properties. The head fits my toothbrush and I can’t tell the difference in firmness between this one and the ones I have used before. My toothbrush operates in exactly the same way and after a check up by my dentist it seems to be doing the same job of removing plaque. Cheaper heads are available but I hope that these are contributing in some way to reducing plastic in landfill.
Compatibile but not the best fit.
Bought these as they are hopefully more suitable than the original ones but they are a lot louder when you use them so I’m not sure if I’ll buy them again, might try a different brand.
Greta product, robust and does the job
Great product, robust and cleans well. The coloured rings don’t stay on well if you take the head off regularly to dry. But I just removed them. Haven’t returned them yet, so not sure how that process rates yet.
Having seen these brush heads elsewhere on FB etc, I did a little research and decided to try them out. On the Live Co-co website you need to spend about 25 (which is 6 heads!) to get free p&p; for a “try them out” purchase seems a little excessive. So, I was pleased to find them on Amazon, and being a Prime member, delivery was free! So all in all, I purchased two socially responsible Oral-B compatible toothbrush heads for a similar price to what I would pay in the supermarket for the genuine Oral-B heads that I would normally use.
The heads were delivered a day sooner than was promised by Amazon, which was a good start, and the initial appearance of the brush heads looks good too. The head is a couple of millimetres shorter than the original Oral-B head and the angle though which the head rotates is very marginally less than the original, neither of which cause any issues at all.
I have been using a new Live Coco brush head for a few days now, and it certainly seems to be just as good as the Oral-B heads I have used previously; we shall have to see how long they last.
In conclusion, I am very impressed with these Live Coco brush heads and, presuming that I have no issue with durability, it is extremely likely that I will purchase more, if only so I can be sure that when I have finished with the brush head, I can return it to Live Coco for them to deal with in a socially responsible manner!
Thumbs up
Great way to be more eco friendly while still using my electric toothbrush. It would be good if the details about how and where to return them for recycling were included in the box rather than having to go online, and maybe design the packaging to also act as the envelope. But I barely notice the difference with my normal oral b head so thumbs up.
Good product that is good for environme
Love the fact these can be recycled (note you have to send them back to company for recycling – other reviews seemed to miss this point). They are from a small company trying to do good.
Bonus they arrived minus all the usual added plastic wrapping Amazon are obsessed with including, even when it is not needed. Bought as trying to reduce plastic waste and so in that sense they tick all the boxes. They work just the same as regular toothbrush head, so no complaints there. Got a sweet email from company to check I had received the product which was nice touch. Will be ordering from them again and be recommending them, one of my friends has already said she will be using these to replace her regular brushes too.
Do what they should
Great to find an eco-friendly and fully recyclable toothbrush top for my electric toothbrush. The brush heads are compact and circular [as are most for electric toothbrushes] and I have no trouble fitting these. They can be returned to the manufacturer [need to pay for postage] to be fully recycled too. Only negative is that they aren’t aesthetically pleasing to look at and there is no way to distinguish between other family members brushes – something I think the company have/are addressing. Can get a discount if you subscribe and get a regular delivery schedule – though this can be every 6 months so you won’t need to have a huge pile of replacement heads.
Why didn't I know about this soone
I really like these brush heads, I’ve had them a couple of weeks now and my teeth have felt really squeeky clean with each use. I use them with my oral-B electric toothbrush base.
I especially like how the toothbrush head is slightly smaller than the standard oral-B ones, I can get to the back of my molars really easily.
I would definitely recommend to others and keep using them. Being recyclable is also such a good bonus and they’re value for money.
Fantastic produc
I’m not a review kind of person but felt I had to with these. Came in all cardboard packaging (no plastic), can be sent back to be recycled, cheaper than standard non recyclable toothbrush heads and after using for a week, my teeth feel so much cleaner! What more can a person want?
The bristles are firmer than standard toothbrush heads but for me that’s a win as I tend to press too hard with other heads to get that clean feel. With these, it’s a standard pressure brush (my pressure light hasn’t come on once on my toothbrush) and voila, lovely clean smooth feeling teeth 🙂 These are the first ones bought but will certainly be sticking with these. My wife is also extremely happy with hers.
Bought these as replacement heads for my Oral B toothbrush and they fit perfectly. Bristles are a good medium; not too hard but not too soft! Product seems very durable and came in plastic-free packaging. Can’t vouch for the effectiveness of the charcoal bristles yet though – no difference thus far.
What really irks me about this product is how this small company is running their brand on recyclable and eco-friendly products with great plastic-free packaging and everything, but after scouring the internet (including their website and blog) there is NO evidence anywhere that these toothbrushes actually get recycled!? If you’re starting a small business based in eco-friendly products, surely you’d fill your social media and website with images/ details of all the wonderful things that these recycled toothbrushes are being made into? I’ll still be sending mine back to ‘recycle’ anyway as hopefully its better than sending it to landfill, but I’m disappointed that there’s no public information on where these toothbrushes are going. Will look for another eco-friendly brand next time I need some instead.
So happy to find Recyclable brushes
Delivery of my parcel was prompt, no complaints. The brushes appear to fit my existing Oral B toothbrush but I haven’t used them yet so can’t comment but I don’t foresee any problem. I’m sure they will be fine. I was pleased to find recycling toothbrushes available. Will probably buy again.
Love having a recyclable toothbrush head.
The toothbrush head fits my oral B perfectly and it definitely does the job and seems to be lasting well. Initially, despite rinsing it before use as instructed it did have a hint of charcoal flavour about it, but that has now faded. I will definitely continue to use these. However, a black head on a blue and white brush handle isn’t particularly beautiful – but I consider the environmental issues far more important! Recycling is by post, so be aware that you can’t just do it through your local collections, but it’s still a win for me.
Good concep
The items arrived on time and they work on my Oral B brush fine. I like the idea of recyclable items, though have not yet tried to do that with this product. I’d also be interested to know a little more with the product when it arrived on what makes it so different. However, have no complaints and my teeth feel clean 🙂
Good little produc
Received the brush heads in good time with Amazon prime and they are presented well in a recyclable cardboard box which goes towards the environmental credibility.
The brushes are great, I like stiffer brush heads that don’t rip your gums apart and these fit the bill perfectly.
I haven’t had them long enough to rate the recyclability of the product yet but if they do what the description says then I’m a happy bunny.
I took the single purchase option to try them out, I’ll be looking to take out the subscription option next time, although I’d like to see a once every 2 months option if its 2 heads per pack.
A++ to CoCo Live for providing a green alternative to all these un-recyclable plastic products we have to endure these days.
This seems like a great product and the brushes are easily as good as the branded ones when it comes to cleaning and longevity. I’m also hoping when the my new replacements arrive the ‘closed loop recycling’ will be an easy process. This is my second purchase and I am extremely pleased to see that they have removed the plastic vacuum formed sleeve inside the cardboard box and put the heads in paper wrap now which is excellent – They’ve listened to their customers!
Great clean feeling!
These toothbrush heads arrived very quickly, they seem to be excellent to use in that the first time I brushed my teeth with them, I had that dentist clean feeling! I’ve not had that in a long time with my electric toothbrush. I just wish the little cardboard box they came in didn’t have plastic inside. And I really wish someone would make a biodegradable toothbrush head, not just recyclable!
