I'm always on the search for goods that can keep up with my rigorous training and competition schedule because I'm an athlete. The toothbrushes from Xtech were not successful. Even if they work well for the typical person, I couldn't stand the constant use they would get. Plus, it didn't look like any thought had been put into their accessories for use by sportsmen. I wouldn't recommend this toothbrush if you lead a really active lifestyle. Xtech is fantastic for the normal person, but it's not designed for athletes.
