The last ten minutes of the day don't have to be a fight.
Second brush works out to $50 — most parents with two kids take this one.
Bath's done. Pajamas are on. You've got maybe ten minutes before the whole thing tips over.
And then it's the toothbrush.
The negotiating. The "I already did it." The mouth clamped shut. The two minutes you're supposed to get, which turns into eleven seconds of chewing on the bristles while you count out loud like a hostage negotiator. Some nights you give up, because a tired kid at 8:40pm is not a fight worth having, and you tell yourself tomorrow will be better.
Here's the thing nobody says out loud: it's not your kid being difficult, and it's not you being soft.
A regular toothbrush asks a four-year-old to do something genuinely hard. Aim a small brush at one tooth at a time, on both sides, keep going for two full minutes, and stay interested the entire time. Adults find that boring. We're asking it of someone who can't reliably put shoes on the right feet.
Instead of aiming, they bite down. The U-shaped head sits snug around the whole row at once. One button starts it. Sixty seconds later it stops on its own, and they're finished — and they know they're finished, because the brush told them, not you.
That's the entire idea. Not a better brush. A brush they'll actually use, without being asked twice.
BrushBuddy isn't hands-free. For younger kids, stay nearby and help guide it for the first week or so until the motion becomes routine.
Pick a character per brush — Sibling and Family bundles can mix freely.
Otto the Otter · TealFor the kid who splashes through every routine at full speed
Poppy the Piglet · Blush PinkFor the kid who wants brushing to feel like playtime
Fern the Frog · Sage GreenFor the kid who likes doing it themselves, thank you very much
Sunny the Duckling · Butter YellowFor the kid who is up and ready before anyone else in the house
Cloud the Lamb · Soft WhiteFor the kid who needs the calm version of everythingHere's the honest risk with a $79 toothbrush: you buy it, and your kid still won't use it.
So we'll carry that risk instead of you.
Use BrushBuddy for fourteen nights. If your child isn't picking it up and brushing on their own by then — email us and we'll refund you in full. Keep the brush. Keep the cup. Keep the spare heads. We don't want them back.

We can make that offer because of what parents tell us happens in week one: the kid stops being asked.

We'd been fighting about this literally every night for a year. Night four he came and found me holding it. I'm not saying it's magic, I'm saying I stopped being the bad guy at bedtime.

The timer did it. She trusts the brush more than she trusted me counting, which is a little insulting but I'll take it.
[Name], parent of a 6-year-old
First couple of nights they just held it there without moving it. Once we showed them the side-to-side thing it clicked. Wish the instructions made that clearer up front.

Most kids' toothbrushes are adult toothbrushes made smaller. Same shape, same technique required, same two minutes of sustained concentration — just in miniature. That's why brushing turns into a negotiation most nights.
BrushBuddy™ starts from a different shape. The 360° U-shaped head is molded from soft food-grade silicone and sits snug around a full row of teeth, so instead of aiming at one tooth at a time, your child bites down and moves the brush gently side to side. Sonic vibration does the work. The built-in 60-second timer ends the cycle on its own.
There is one button. Press it, brush, done. Which means a four-year-old can run their own routine from start to finish, and a nine-year-old doesn't have anyone standing over them counting.
Between uses it lives in the included blue-light cup instead of open on the bathroom counter next to everyone else's. IPX7-rated, so it's fine at the sink, in the bath, or dropped in it.
Choose Little (ages 2–6) or Big (ages 7–15), pick a character, and it arrives ready to charge.
The 60-second timer is an outside authority. "The brush isn't done" lands very differently than "I said you're not done."
One button and a shape that doesn't require aim means a preschooler can run the whole routine and feel proud of it.
Soft food-grade silicone, no stiff bristles — which matters a lot if your child is sensitive about textures in their mouth.
Sibling and Family tiers bring the per-child cost down to $64.50 and $56.33.
14-Night Promise, Right-Fit Promise on sizing, free US shipping. If it doesn't work in your house, you're out at no cost.
Little fits ages 2–6, Big fits 7–15. If your child is at the edge of a range, message us with their age and we'll help you pick.
