This tooth brush is great. I have braces and found it very effective in getting under my wires and is also gentle enough when my gums are sensitive. I would recommend it to my friends. Fresh clean smile. ????

I have been waiting to see how long the battery life was before I posted my last review. It was 19 days! That is incredible! I love when you charge your toothbrush you can pop it on the charger any way. My children with other leading electric toothbrush always put them on the wrong way forcing them down. I still love all the features of this toothbrush, my only fault is I would like the on button to be higher. I always go to turn it on and the button is not where my thumb is and I need to look where the button is. I highly recommend this toothbrush.

An exceptional electric toothbrush! I really feel like I have been to the dentist and have clean teeth, after every use. It's very easy to use and has a great design too. It's great value for money! I would gladly recommend it to my family and friends.

Just received this is the mail today and have to say that I am both impressed and intrigued by the design. This unit is much more streamline and lightweight than I recall my previous versions being (many years ago). So it appears better suited to the little people in the house who are able to grip the narrower handle and manoeuvre the unit more easily. It also seems to have less grooves on the back of the head and the handle for water/toothpaste to accumulate and cause build up, meaning it's easier to clean too. I am intrigued by the movement of the brush head. My previous experience with electric toothbrushes has been for the head to rotate. This unit does not do that. Instead, it pivots from side to side and up and down, causing a gentle vibration. Interested to see how well it does the job. But from an aesthetic point of view, I think it will suit our young children very well. Looking forward to the charging phase being over and the real test beginning :)

I had another electric toothbrush before receiving the Colgate ProClinical. It is fantastic. Light weight with a cover makes it easy to travel with and stays charged for over a week.
Would never go back to the other type of electric toothbrush.

Couldn't be happier with our Colgate ProClinical, no more yelling to get teeth cleaned as she loves it and her teeth are looking so much better. It seems to be helping a lot with the build up caused by her medication

To be chosen to review the Colgate Proclinical C250 ElectricToithbrush has given my the opportunity to take a task that I had to do each and every day to a whole new level of oral hygiene. I have enjoyed the new light weight feel of the toothbrush along with its soft feather like bristles that removed the remnants of the day to disappear without any stress or bleeding to my surrounding gums. It leaves your teeth and gums feeling refreshed, clean and smooth with little effort and is barely heard compared to other electric toothbrushes I have encountered. Which is great trying to brush your teeth early in the morning while trying not to wake my husband when getting ready for my nursing shifts. The toothbrush and my photos have entrigued my friends and family and I will to rave about its benefits to everyone and anyone whom asks or really needs to know how compact, convienent and clinically complete this piece of technology has provided. Colgate has continued to surprise and complete my daily oral hygiene rituals! Love it!

I applied for this review as my dentist had suggested I try an electric toothbrush. I was sceptical a brush is a brush right? Well I am happy to admit I was wrong. Whilst they first few times of using an electric brush felt completely strange the clean feeling my mouth had kept me wanting to re-use it. After brushing with the Colgate Pro Clinical my whole mouth feels fresh and clean. I've noticed that my fresh clean feeling lasts so much longer than when I use a manual brush. I am definately a convert and have already planned to get the whole family electric toothbrushes. Do your mouth a favour and give it a go!

Colgate ProClinical is my tooth brush collections best friend, as the others get to rest up while it does all the work. It was great to have my teeth feel really clean. I can feel and see the results. Pro clinical is easy to use and feels soft against the teeth, never hard.

I missed out on the trial so I spoke to my dental hygienist about its benefits and bought one. She takes measurements and records them. At my next consultation she informed me that my teeth had actually improved, something that many people don't achieve.

I bought this product being sceptical at first. After the first use I immediately noticed the difference. The brush has nice soft bristles which are perfect for sensitive teeth and gums. The product itself is lightweight and slim in design making it an ease to hold and control. I also thought the two minute timer was a cool feature to include.

I have probably purchased about 5 electric toothbrushes in the past two years. I have always struggled trying to make my teeth feel clean and I finally tried the pro clinical and it's a lot easier than any other electric toothbrush. My teeth feel a lot cleaner. The price wasn't the cheapest but I'm glad I purchased it.

This toothbrush is brilliant. It is such a little pocket-powered device. I just took it away on holidays with the kids over the holidays and I didn't need to use the charger once. Although I did take it just in case. I had to go get another one as the kids were fighting over it. It seems that this brush is a definite game changer for our household. Miss 5 and 9 love it. I have also seen my hubby eyeing it off and he has been a fan of a competitive brand for years.

The toothbrush was ok for a cheap to average priced electric toothbrush. When i compare it to other electiric toothbrushes i have used it was not the best. I just didnt get that 'just from the dentist clean' feeling. I felt that the bristles were too soft and would have prefered harder ones.

I opened this package and was a bit dubious that it would give me a complete clean. I charged it, took no time at all. Put my product on it and I was amazed. I observed the result after the clean - I was surprised by the reflection. Everyone had to wear sunglasses when I smiled. I trialed he good old fashioned way - manual. This literally blew it out the water. Highly recommended.

So its been a few weeks now and im still loving the my colgate electric toothbrush. The sonic wave element is fantastic!! I can feel that it is actually working and getting in all the tricky spots and using it in conjuction with colgates whitning toothpaste has bern working a treat. Ive even had people comment on how clean and white my teeth are which is no doubt the whitning toothpaste aswell. The body is extremely light and easy to handle, it sits well on the dock and doesnt lose any power whilst in use. I would have no problem recommending it to family and friends.

I just bought my new electric tooth brush from Coles and have to say I am not a huge fan of electric toothbrushes at all. However this one I have to say I feel is the best I have ever tried! It really does clean my teeth well and it's not too harsh on my gums either. Having sensitive teeth I don't like abrasive things on my teeth but was pleasantly surprised with this brush. I will probably recommend it to others or keep the delight of this brush to myself :)

Having used the electric tooth brush now for a couple of weeks now, I am getting used to the vibrations & not knocking my teeth on it nearly as much now. The battery stays charge for a long time, a week or so, which is fabulous! The clean mouth feeling that I am left with after I brush is truly amazing, it just feels so much cleaner than with a manual brush. I will never go back ! LOL
I am very happy with the toothbrush and would highly recommend it to family & friends alike. It is an amazing product that will leave your mouth feeling so much more cleaner after a brush. It's light, portable, with a long battery life so you only need charge it once a week or so, a fabulously powerful brush that leaves a fantastic smile behind!

I have used an electronic toothbrush before but not for a few years. They have improved so much and leave your teeth very clean and smooth. They work in between and i would highly recommend this Colgate ProClinical C250 Electric Toothbrush. It looks nice and neat on my bathroom cabinet and even has a handy cover for when you go away. Highly recommended, next is to teach my youngest son about an electronic toothbrush to help get his teeth clean twice a day.

Yesterday we went to the dentist for a checkup and she was impressed by how clean ny daugters teeth were. Some medication she is on causes an increase in build up and discolouration to her teeth but since she's been using the Colgate ProClinical there has been a huge visible improvement. I can't recommend this toothbrush enough.

whilst the design is slim and sleek, I felt the untrasonic vibrations too much for me and ended up using it like a normal tooth brush with out it switched on. the noise in my mouth was a bit too loud. maybe I am too sensitive to it. The charge was quick so was ready to use without too much of a wait.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

If your little (or not-so-little) one wants a lunch bag everyone will comment on, this is it. Available in a range of stunning designs, they come with a long and strong handle and easy-use zippers. But good looks aside, what’s winning heart about these is their capacity – they hold up to seven litres of food!
After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments. Even better, they are leak-proof, microwave-safe and fine to pop in the dishwasher.
Colourful and easy to carry, these bags are insulated, eco-friendly and secure. It features aluminium foil lining that keeps food fresh all day long, and it comes with top-level carry handles and a shoulder strap, which is brilliant for those days when kids have a lot to tote.

With their name on it, you won’t need to visit lost property!
With a leak-proof silicone seal, these colourful lunch companions keep sauces and dips right where they belong.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

Loving the clean mouth feeling after I brush
I am very happy with the toothbrush and would highly recommend it to family & friends alike. It is an amazing product that will leave your mouth feeling so much more cleaner after a brush. It's light, portable, with a long battery life so you only need charge it once a week or so, a fabulously powerful brush that leaves a fantastic smile behind!
