Happy Aloha Friday!
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays let’s take it easy on posting, too. Ask a simple question…nothing that requires a lengthy response. It’s a great way to make new blogging friends!

Princess Nagger inherited ‘soft’ teeth from me (lucky girl) which means she has to be extra diligent in brushing her teeth. Only she hasn’t been. Or at least she hadn’t been until Santa gave her a battery-operated Bakugan toothbrush as a stocking stuffer a couple of Christmases ago, and has been giving her a new cool one every year since. I had gotten her one of those early on, but she was afraid of it for some reason. Or it was a boring one, because it wasn’t cool like Bakugan. It took the fat man in a red suit to get her interested and not be afraid of the buzzing and vibrating those things do.
Ever since she started using a ‘fun’ toothbrush, she’s been much more diligent in brushing all her teeth thoroughly vs. the halfhearted attempt she used to do with a regular old toothbrush. Which means her subsequent dental checkups have been much more trauma-free, since she hasn’t been getting the bad news of new cavities. I myself use a rechargeable toothbrush, and after I started using one of those, I haven’t had a cavity in years. My question for this week is:
Do you use a manual or electric toothbrush?
Have a great weekend! Be sure to brush and floss!

I use an electric. Infact everyone in our family uses electric. I feel that it is easier to keep the kids teeth cleaner that way.
We have both. Husband just bought an electric one, but I’m still trying to figure out how it all works, so for now we’re manual. Why does everything have to be so dam complicated. LOL
I use a manual and floss regularly. No cavities!

Electric – we have a Sonicare, and I *love* it. 🙂
Electric- I don’t feel like the manual ones works as well.
Have a great weekend!
I use a manual, hubby and daughter electric.
Auntie E would like you to read ..Fridays Question- Favorite thing
manual all the way…there is something about an electric that just does not do it for me…
been using electric toothbrush since 10 years ago. I got hubby to start using electric toothbrushes too. and we have been using electric water floss. they are great dental products!
My father has soft teeth & has had a lot of trouble over the past 5 or 6 years (since turning 50). I am thankful that I didn’t inherit them from him.
Call me old fashion, but I brush my teeth manually.

Manual toothbrush for me although we had one of the first electric toothbrushes back in the 1960’s when I was a kid, it’s a wonder we didn’t get electrocuted in those days Lol!
Manual.
manual. I don’t know why, but to me electric is too complicated
Wow. Now this makes me want to get one!
I have a manual. Our whole family do.
I’ll have to talk with dh.
Love that Princess is taking great care of her jewels now. I teach my kids the importance of taking care of them too. So I’m steadfast in brushing twice a day!
Aloha!
Manual toothbrush for me.
I have an electric and I love it.
It doesn’t mean my teeth are any better when I visit the dentist though.
I never knew what the big deal was about electric toothbrushes until I got one to try out. I’ve never looked back and I even have a battery powered one to take on the road. A manual brush just doesn’t work as well.
I’m a manual girl. And I brush my teeth in the shower. Just the way I roll. Did you see the video of little o getting his teeth brushed? I’ve never seen anyone so excited to have their teeth brushed. Crazy, I tell you.
Manual but I do have an electric water pik
Hi Stacy.
I actually use a manual in the morning and electric at night.
Have a great day!
I use both, depends on my mood!
Congrats on 1000 followers!
I also have ‘soft teeth.’ It really sucks. I have an electric but generally use the manual!
We use manual ones.
Battery operated. We started use them about 5 years ago and will never go back.
Wow! 1000 followers! I was excited to get to 100.
We use manual here for the most part.
I actually have both : )
I use the electric one every now and then!
I also have both, but I really prefer manual because for some reason, I don’t feel the electric does a good job over me actually getting in there and knowing where I brushed. If that makes any sense at all. LOL
Happy Friday!
i use both…
i would love one of those fancy electric ones at some point…
both!
Hi there! Old follower here! I’m a manual toothbrush kind of girl although my dentist thinks I shouldn’t be……

I almost thought of something dirty to write but that would be wrong. Let’s go with electric, yeah thats it.
I wanted to say thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting… I am following and I look forward to reading more of your stuff.
All the best,
Kim
I had a sonicare for years but it broke so went back to doing it myself.
I use both. I have an electric one here at my house and a regular one at John’s.
I have very soft teeth so I use a manual soft brush. It is purple (and always has to be) because it is my favorite color and that makes it fun!
I do things better if they are fun too!
I use manual. I haven’t really gotten into the electric yet.
I have a manual toothbrush, but I’d like an electric. I always have so many cavities.
and the survey says – electric with a timer so I also make sure I brush long enough. Now flossing that’s something I need to improve on.
manual, i did try electric, but didnt like it
Manual but I hear those Sonics rock! I would like to have one.
we use electric…. and have been using electric for so long, I think I may have forgotten how to use a manual.
Check your mail girlfriend! You won the Spotlight Dance again!!! WOO HOO! I can’t believe this! Random.org must like that pretty smiling face of yours or maybe it’s the way you ROCK & ROLL! WOO HOO!
I use an electric toothbrush that I won online. Santa brings my kids a toothbrush every year too. I always tell them that Santa is a fan of good dental hygiene.
