I may be in line with you.They're supposed to be elite, but in my experiences the electric toothbrushes have always been really inefficient, boring to use instruments. I've heard good things about those flossers, but I find the brushes to be inferior to a solid set of paintbrushes used manually.
How about when used on sensitive areas like the nipples and crotch?I think it depends if it has a rotating head or just vibrates. I use a Sonicare that just vibrates and have gotten very good responses using it on feet and head to toe.
In my experience and those in-person I’ve observed use them, they are not comparable as they are used in very different ways and cause tickling sensations in very different ways. To be clear, I’m describing the differences in manual vs vibrating head electric toothbrushes (not the rotary kind). A manual toothbrush primarily works in a scrubbing kind of way, stimulating the nerves with strokes across the skin. Some people find that very irritating (too pokey or scratchy). You can get softer bristle ones that reduce that, as well as using oil, but that’s how it works and it’s effectiveness might not always be what you’d expect. The electric toothbrush is usually less effective because of the brush and more so because of the vibrations it transfers into the tissues. The bristles can definitely factor into it for some people and on certain spots, but I’ve honestly had more consistency and greater effect using the back of the brush heads than the bristle side. Some of the stems (with the head removed) come to a nice smooth (not sharp) end that works even better. But the major action there is that vibrating sensation. Vibrating the toes like that is maddening for many people. In the end, it really is going to depend upon the individual lee (and ler somewhat). Everyone is different and what tickles one might not do anything for another and vice versa.Which ones are better for tickling? Can manual toothbrushes be just as effective as an electric toothbrush if used with the right technique?
