At a quick glance I read Power Vibe Tool

and wondered, as a bloke, whether it was the sort of post I should be reading on a predominantly female forum!

Hi Tan

I have one and have found very useful.

I'm absolutely certain you could make one yourself for very little. It's just a hummingbird pick/flosser (less than a tenner) and some squished tubes.

Even more confused......what does hummingbird flosser thingy actually do?

LOL. A hummingbird flosser is a battery operated dental pick/flosser that vibrates (quite gently) when you hold its button. (I think I may be making things worse). It's designed to help remove any between-tooth debris without too much poking around (I'm definitely making it worse now).

The powder vibe tool is just one of these, with a series of brass tubes crimped at one end to sprinkle enamels for you.

Hi George, where can you get them at that price? it's mainly refills that I have seen, even on eBay they have 8,9 bids and are in the high £20s with 2 days to go.

I got my last couple from my dentist - who had a little stash of them after they were discontinued. Yet another Braun product that they stopped manufacturing for no apparent reason... I think they were £5.99.

Thank you George for the description......made me laugh though, should have read " for ladies only " .............!

They are now made by Oral B and are about £30/£35 . . . . .

They were always an Oral B brand Carole, but manufactured by Braun. I think the ones that are so expensive are from old stock with sellers taking advantage of the non-availability.

Wow, you were lucky George.
