I do believe my husband and I are very lucky to own one of these toothbrushes, they are amazing and I don't think I would ever go back to a manual toothbrush after using one of these beauties. If and when I am going to get my children to have electric brush's and I think they clean better and are easier to use. I think they give our teeth that extra special sparkle.

With my trial period over and just having a dental appointment, my dentist was happy with the cleanliness of the base of my teeth and the health of my gums, given the poor standard they were the last time I was there. So thank you to Mouth of Mums and the sponsors very much, not only have I enjoyed this trial but you have saved me some 'REAL' money in my future dentistry.

So this is my final review of the Phillips Sonicare Flex+ and I have to say it has beena pleasure trialling this product. I will not go back to a "manual" toothbrush and have already gone and bought replacement heads for when needed. I am also very happy to report I have my toothbrush on charge - the second time since starting this review , the first time being when we received the product. That is incredible - and considering it has been used 4 times a day that is a terrific charging capability. I am in love with my Phillips Sonicare Flex+ and I and my mouth/teeth thankyou MoM for giving us the chance to be a part of this amazing trial .

I still love using the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ tooth brush. We went away for a couple of days and took the toothbrushes with us in the carrier. The battery lasted for the 2 nights and the carrier kept our toothbrushes clean and dry. The only thing so far I would improve, and it is merely my personal preference would be to offer toothbrush heads that offer different bristles. I always prefer strong stiff bristles while my wife prefers soft bristles. I did not notice the difference as first. But since using the toothbrush continuously for a few weeks, I find myself wanting harder bristles. However, I will not be going back to my manual toothbrush as I've noticed a cleaner feeling and look to my teeth with continued use.

I haven't liked using this electric toothbrush at all. I haven't ever used one before my Mrs. got this, and the vibration feeling in he head and ears freaks me out. I have kept trying it to keep her off my back, and yes, we are seeing a difference in the stains on my teeth.

My mouth seems to get cleaner and cleaner is that is possible!! To be honest though, I have not found all of the settings beneficial for my personal use. Have an appointment with my Dentist soon so it will be interesting to see what he thinks. My partner has had issues using an electric toothbrush, doesn't like the vibration feeling in his mouth and the noise it makes in his head. Found that interesting.

After four weeks of using the Philips Sonicare I'm hooked. There's absolutely no way I'll be returning to my old toothbrush. The only problem I foresee is if my wife ever needs to go away for a night or two and takes the brush with her - all I'll be left with is my little brush-head!
I see the UV Sanitiser as a bit of a novelty, however if there was some way to clearly prove to me the benefits of a UV 'cleaner' then I may have scored the rating higher. Apart from that, I have already been spruiking this product to friends and work colleagues and I know a long lasting relationship has now been created.

After a month of using my FlexCare+ I am here to profess my love! In my opinion, using an electric toothbrush takes some getting used to and on that basis I am so glad we had 4 weeks to build a relationship and to form an opinion. My vow to my Sonicare: I will never go back to the old manual way ever again.

When my wife first told me that we'd been chosen to review an electric toothbrush, I was curious. I already own an electric toothbrush which I am happy with, but agreed to give the review one a go.
After using it over the past weeks, I will admit that it does appear to do a good job of cleaning my teeth.
However it is overly complex, to the point of fault. There is no mode for just brushing your teeth - the designers have attempted to dictate the sequence that teeth should be brushed in the division of the brushing time into set periods, and I've been unable to conform to their proposed brushing sequence. Unfortunately, the way the periods are communicated (changes in the vibration pattern) mean that this is a constant irritation. I'd prefer a mode that just runs for however many minutes without any interruptions.
I doubt the purported benefits of the UV steriliser. The fact that the brush-heads are stored in a closed box will provide more net health benefit. I also disagree with the desire for total cleanliness - a bit of dirt is good for the immune system. I don't see the need for including the steriliser at all.
What has me most concerned though is the rate at which the brush head has worn. The marker bristles are nearly totally worn away, and we've only had the toothbrush a month. Genuine heads are priced at twice what I can get genuine heads for my toothbrush for, and appear to last less than a third as long. That means it will cost about six times as much to run just in replacement heads alone.

My final review! What can I say, except that I LOVE this toothbrush! I am SO happy that I was able to participate in this review, and there is NO way that I'm giving it up! It has made my mouth look and feel fantastic, and I must admit I've been enthusing about this brush to all my friends and family!
The FlexCare+ has made my mouth feel cleaner

It's a competent toothbrush, but it's overly complicated, expensive to buy, expensive to run, and it seems as though the heads are wearing out much quicker than I'd anticipated. I was initially concerned that the UV Sanitiser was making the heads wear faster, but that didn't turn out to be the case. The heads simply do not have a long lifetime. Saying that, the brush does do a good job and gives a good, clean feeling.

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.

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.

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.

I won't be going back.
I see the UV Sanitiser as a bit of a novelty, however if there was some way to clearly prove to me the benefits of a UV 'cleaner' then I may have scored the rating higher. Apart from that, I have already been spruiking this product to friends and work colleagues and I know a long lasting relationship has now been created.

My last thoughts...
After using it over the past weeks, I will admit that it does appear to do a good job of cleaning my teeth.
However it is overly complex, to the point of fault. There is no mode for just brushing your teeth - the designers have attempted to dictate the sequence that teeth should be brushed in the division of the brushing time into set periods, and I've been unable to conform to their proposed brushing sequence. Unfortunately, the way the periods are communicated (changes in the vibration pattern) mean that this is a constant irritation. I'd prefer a mode that just runs for however many minutes without any interruptions.
I doubt the purported benefits of the UV steriliser. The fact that the brush-heads are stored in a closed box will provide more net health benefit. I also disagree with the desire for total cleanliness - a bit of dirt is good for the immune system. I don't see the need for including the steriliser at all.
What has me most concerned though is the rate at which the brush head has worn. The marker bristles are nearly totally worn away, and we've only had the toothbrush a month. Genuine heads are priced at twice what I can get genuine heads for my toothbrush for, and appear to last less than a third as long. That means it will cost about six times as much to run just in replacement heads alone.
