  3. My electric toothbrush just failed, i've pried it open and some water must have got in, some of the componants are rusted and it's no longer turning on/off reliably, so i'm not going to try to repair, just recycle the bits properly.

    So to a new electric toothbrush.
    #AskingFedi Is there a toothbrush out there where I can
    a) easily replace the battery
    AND
    b) buy biodegradeable replacement heads.
    I'm generally coming up with one but not the other.
    Am in the uk

        @AoifeGreenhamIllustrations €2 buys a pack of three toothbrushes and you get the bonus of finger exercise.

          @PatrickOBeirne Not everyone is able to use a manual toothbrush good enough not to get holes. An electrical tooth brush is incredibly cost effective for us that have to pay for the dentist ourselves...

              @AoifeGreenhamIllustrations
              That's a fair comment!

              Most of the things I try to fix are more complicated than that - I don't always succeed but I usually learn something along the way 🙂
