I'm willing to try more as there are quite a lot of options out there. But the Fuchs Ekotec "soft" were perfect for me. With extensive searching I have found some replacement heads online but they are price gauging them at almost $40 for one pack of 4, So Ridiculous! I also found some stem packs which come with 2 heads for a more reasonable price. Feels wasteful, yet I am tempted to buy them. Ultimately it would be better than a single use brush.

I think I will contact the company and see if there is any way they will continue making them... or if there is a stash of unsold replacement heads somewhere. So sad. I have tried the bamboo ones and they just did not cut it for me. At least the brands I tried 😿B'annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113215606278357525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276531209730408101.post-58891500687892391302020-02-26T23:25:18.048-05:002020-02-26T23:25:18.048-05:00They are indeed discontinued. I wrote another post...They are indeed discontinued. I wrote another post recently about what I should do to replace them: https://ecofrugality.blogspot.com/2020/02/toothbrush-dilemma.html. I found the Snap toothbrush from Greener Step, which also has replaceable heads, but I'm still not sure if that's a greener option than a brush with a biodegradable bamboo handle. The real question is which uses more resources to manufacture, and I'm not sure how to figure that out.Amy Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362533758291353748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276531209730408101.post-28757735715325352952020-02-26T22:00:29.837-05:002020-02-26T22:00:29.837-05:00Hello, I also have been using Fuchs Ekotec Toothbr...Hello, I also have been using Fuchs Ekotec Toothbrush And Replacement Heads Soft Bristle for many years but I am now having trouble finding the replacement heads. Some of the sites say "discontinued". I am panicking. Do you have a place you buy or order them from? <br />Thanks, B'annaB'annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113215606278357525noreply@blogger.com
