I just checked the Ikea website and it looks like they don't carry it anymore. It was great though -- a good canvas in multiple colors and two sizes (the photo shows the larger-scale print). And so cheap! Maybe your Ikea will still have it in stock, TammyE -- totally worth checking.

I can't believe they're so pink and blue. It's retro in a bad way and just really disappointing and lame. I expected better.

hejiranyc -- you must be kidding! NY probably has the best, most interesting cheap shopping in the country (well, if you consider options other than enormous chains like JCrew and Walmart). And, actually, even if you don't (HM, Zara, etc.).

I've been using the Preserve for years, and actually just decided to stop. I like so much about it (everything mentioned above), but they have to be replaced far more often than other toothbrushes, which is not only expensive but also mitigates the eco-friendliness of it. I'll have to try Terradent though -- thanks for the hint, Daruma.

Has anyone else (beside Sarah in Boston) had any experience with those Soda Club devices? They seem perfect in that you can use ordinary tap water. (MrGreen the point isn't avoiding tap water but rather getting carbonation *into* tap water for those who like, say, Campari and soda or soda with lime.) All the packing materials and shipping from Israel mitigates the benefits somewhat, but it's certainly better than the two cases of San P. I go through each month. I'd love to hear about more experiences with it.

Pixie -- isn't that that you can't bring more than 3 oz of *liquid*? I've never had a problem bringing an empty nalgene through security and filling it at a fountain at the gate. Have you had a different experience?
