I have been cutting down on doing product reviews towards the last quarter of year 2016 to prepare for our coming 4th kiddo who was born in early November 2016 and I am now slowly resuming doing product reviews but prioritizing those that can fit into our family dynamics (especially books on parenting or educational stuff, family products, something along those genre)
However, as busy as I am with 4 kiddos, home cooking, taking care of hubby's administration site of the business and swamped up with managing my FB page and blog, I just can't say no to reviewing products that either myself and/or my family can use, so of course I gotta give this product a try! I was told that this is the latest series from Flipper, once that uses built-in sand timer, how intriguing!
About the company/brand:
"Flipper is a nifty toothbrush cover with a unique patented design. Through a cleverly-designed mechanism, a Flipper stores your toothbrush in an enclosed compartment and yet opens / closes automatically and conveniently. Flipper keeps your toothbrush easily and hygienically. With a properly-enclosed storage, Flipper protects your toothbrush from contamination by airborne bacteria, dust and other foreign particles that may cause oral diseases. Besides, it's simple, adorable and fun to use!"
We received 3 packs of Flipper Owl series - Smarty, Hearty and Earthy. Brilliant bright engaging colors that catches the eye. Our older 3 kiddos quickly took turns choosing their own Flipper toothbrush cover.
Now you might think what is so special with this new Flipper series? It has built-in sand timer in it! Just gently rotate the owl's eyes and you can see the bright orange sand started trickling down and once it is done, you see the owl's orange beak materialising. So cute and creative!
Did you know most dentists agree that proper brushing should take at least 2 minutes? And hence Flipper OWL is designed with a 1-minute sand timer to make our brushing fantastically fun. What you need to do is rotate the owl's eyes twice for 2 minutes.
Design wise, like I mentioned earlier, the colors are bright and eye-catching. At the back of the high-quality BPA-free owl, you can see a dual suction cups that sticks firmly to your bathroom mirror or tiles. Sideway view, I believe the tiny little gap at the wings part is in such way so that it keeps your toothbrush properly ventilated as it air dries your toothbrush bristles.
Functionality wise? Our 3.5-year-old girl still needs a bit of a practise to rotate the owl's eyes (she's quite rough, and the OCD in me had to stop her from handling the owl roughly so I ended up rotating the eyes for her) but she pretty much can stick through 1-minute of brushing time. We are still trying to get her to brush for longer period.
Pictures below shows our 5.5-years-old girl during her turn to brush teeth. She finds is entertaining to watch as the sand trickles down and she said she likes seeing the owl's beak getting its' orange-y beak haha. Also the patented one-touch mechanism makes it easier for our kiddos to take out their toothbrush and store it back.
Pictures below shows our 8-years-old boy during his turn to brush teeth. He gently rotates the owl's eyes and dutifully waited for the timer to finish before rotating the owl's eyes for another time making it total 2 minutes of teeth brushing time. He said it is fun to look at the owl while he brushes his teeth.
A cute and fun way to instil good teeth brushing habits in our kiddos. Recommended!
