The brush doesn’t roll over
One of the most significant toothbrush difficulties when you're only using one hand comes with toothpaste application. If you don't find a brush that is flat enough to sit steadily on the countertop, it'll fall over when you go to apply the toothpaste to it. The Autobrush is closer in shape to a quadrilateral rather than the standard elongated toothbrush so it sits flat on any surface with zero chance of falling or rolling over when you go to apply the toothpaste.
I use the one-sided nylon brush head, so I don't need to worry about applying the toothpaste to two sides. It would likely fall off upon flipping over the brush to get to the other side. That means that instead of simultaneously brushing my top and bottom rows of teeth, I flip the brush mid-way through the brush cycle. I'm already brushing an entire row of teeth at once, so I can live with that adaptation. The little timer built into the brush will let you know when it's time to flip.
Whether you choose the kids' or the adult Vibrush, it’s coated with soft silicone, which is very comfortable to hold. The brush heads are all interchangeable, offering a variety of designs to match your personal style. Vibrush is designed to be accessible for anyone who experiences sensory issues, focusing on gentle massaging vibrations rather than intense buzzing. I found this to be exponentially more comfortable when using just one hand, without over-stimulating or tiring it out.
It comes with one-hand-accessible toothpaste
I was initially fascinated with the Vibrush for its unique design but never thought that I’d be equally as excited about the toothpaste that came with it. I’ll start by saying that you can use any toothpaste you like with this brush. But the Vibrush toothpaste is pretty cool and one-hand-accessible. Usually, unless you go for a brand that has a flip cap, you’ll be fumbling with a tiny cap you’ll need to unscrew every time you go to brush your teeth. After having undertaken one too many toothpaste cap rescue missions after their frequent escapes down the drain, I was thrilled to come across this particular toothpaste.
Vibrush toothpaste comes with a large plastic cap you can pop off with your thumb and index while holding the container with your bottom three fingers. This makes the entire process much simpler and truly accessible. Plus, this toothpaste doesn’t require rinsing, so that’s one less step in the process.
