I was skeptical of the Quip Toothbrush but my fiance was really interested in trying it. My biggest deterrent in reading the description was the soft bristles. I was a die-hard medium bristle user prior to switching. I tried Quip the day it arrived and immediately fell in love. Yes, it is a soft bristle toothbrush but it is also lined with soft rubber bristles to give a deep clean without being harsh on your gums. Every time I brush my teeth it feels like I have just left a dental cleaning. I'm in love.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
