I have had the chance to try the new Philips Sonicare PowerUp Toothbrush for a week now. I have been debating the upgrade from my manual toothbrush to an electric toothbrush, and when I read that the Sonicare PowerUp delivers a month’s worth of brush strokes in a day, I really wanted to see if it made a difference. Because, my friends, I might honestly be behind by that much by now.
Gross, right?
Well, you moms know exactly why I say this. I just had a baby 6 weeks ago. That tends to throw off your routine. You don’t even get to go to the bathroom when you want to, or finish a cup of coffee, or eat an actual meal sometimes… much less can you count on a good morning-and-night routine. What I’m getting at is… in the past 6 weeks, there are mornings I didn’t brush because I was hoping 3 am was NOT when I was starting my day. There are nights I didn’t brush because I probably couldn’t tell you my own name, I was too tired to remember anything except where my bed was. I’m getting back in the swing of things now, but seriously, I was starting to feel gross! And that is just something you just can’t seem to catch up on.
Except I think I got as close as possible, with the Sonicare PowerUp.
Really, my teeth feel as clean to me as when I finish up at the dentist. I feel so, SO much better about my whole mouth, now that I have used this toothbrush for a week. Not that I’m about to skip going to the dentist, but I think I can face mine a lot more confidently. He might not even be able to tell that I had a rough time there when Roman was just a few weeks old. ;)
And besides, it’s not just about taking care of my teeth – when you are a parent, the example you set for your kids is just as important.
“Mama, I brush too!”
The Sonicare PowerUp is just rolling out in stores now. It’s battery operated, and it’s available at Walmart for under $20. That made it affordable enough to entice me. I mean, toothbrushes keep evolving (in fact, here’s a cool video that shows how far we have come!), and I just keep sticking with my old tried-and-true. It was about time for a change!
You don’t have to just take my word for it, though. Sonicare wants you to see their new toothbrush for yourself – so they are giving one away today to a Happy Hour Projects reader!

This brush is looking great and flexible. For our sensible teeth this kind of brushes are very useful. I’m using oral B tooth brush and this time I’ll buy sonicare brush because it looks good for our teeth. Thanks for sharing this brush with us.
As we know that teeth is the first thing that everyone noticing first in our face. If I am talking about my tooth brush it becomes messy to use and whenever I buy a new one it get damaged after one month. The toothbrush that you are talking about looking good for our tooths. But i am not sure that I’ll get this one in my country or not…
Very cute! Love when the kids love brushing too! Thanks for participating in this campaign! #client
I’m like you….just been keeping to my old tried-and-true manual toothbrush. But the $20 price and something more high tech is definitely exciting!
I have manual one, this would be great to try and get my teeth cleaner.
I love the sonicare toothbrushes. It’s about time for a new one!
I just use a manual one :D And yeap I have never used a power up tooth brush…I think it would be fun :D

i use a boring manual brush, id love to win to make brushing easier and more fun
I use a spinbrush. I want to win because it would be cool to try another brand and compare.
I have always used a manual toothbrush. If it really does perform as it says it does, it makes perfect sense to make the switch.
My daughter has a cute little light up toothbrush she rec’d from the dentist. I would love to try this for her since she has overcrowding with other dental issues!
I use a cheap colgate toothbrush. I would love to win it for my kids so they can have healthy strong teeth
I use a sonicare toothbrush and love it and I would love to win this for my family so they can try it out too!
I use an Arm and Hammer Spin Brush, but don’t feel it’s cleaning as well as it should.
I use a manule brush, my husband likes the eletric ones but I haven’t been convinced yet. However I really like the look of this one! I would love to try it out as I get tired brushing all the other sets of teeth in this house.
Okay- I laughed out loud when you said, “You’re hoping that 3 am is not when you’re starting your day”. So true, Adrianne!
Those toothbrushes look super cool. We love electric toothbrushes round here! :)
I just use a manual toothbrush. I’d love to try this one because I think it would be gentler on my teeth than when I scrub.
I use just a generic toothbrush. I would love to try the Sonicare toothbrush!!
I would LOVE to get a months worth of cleaning done in 1 brushing! :D
Just a plain old brush.
I want to give this to my husband at Christmas.
I currently use manual brush. Love Sonicare
Am guessing it would make for happy dental visits!
I currently use a manual toothbrush and it’s usually one that’s on sale! I know I shouldn’t skimp but some of the electric toothbrushes out there are really pricey. I would love to win this so I can have an electric one like my kids!
I use a regular Oral B toothbrush. My kids have the electric ones and love them. I’d love to try the Sonicare one!
I use a boring toothbrush that probably doesn’t do a great job because i tend to get lazy. My dentist recommended an electric toothbrush for my kids, so I’d love to give it a try to see if my brains jiggle out. ;)
