16-Pack Colgate Wisp Portable Mini-Brush Toothbrush

The Wisp is a new oral care aide made by Colgate. It promises to remove food and plaque from your teeth, giving you a just brushed clean feeling. When you brush, a liquid-filled bead will release a burst of freshness in your mouth and is used without the need for water or rinsing. The Wisp is designed to use on the go, available anytime you need breath freshening.

Considering the vast assortment of breath fresheners on the market, it is often disappointing when you spend your hard earned money on something that delivers empty promises. Does the Colgate Wisp live up to its claims?

The Wisp promises a "pocket sized" design, allowing you to discretely carry it with you at all times. Depending on how tight your jeans are, this could be attainable. A package of four Wisps is close to the size of a business-card holder -- compact and easy to carry. The ingredients are clearly listed on the back of the package, along with an expiration date and a blurb on how you should use the brushes.

The Colgate Wisp promises to be comparable to the size of a lip gloss or lipstick, in an effort to keep the overall packaging small enough for you to carry on the go, ready for your next breath emergency. The actual Wisp itself is in fact the same length of a lip gloss. The brush head of the Wisp contains tiny plastic bristles similar to those of a toothbrush. They are soft and flexible, a critical feature that is necessary to prevent abrasion. Located in the center of the brush head is the liquid-filled bead. The Wisp is available in four flavors: a blue bead is peppermint flavored; a green bead is spearmint flavored; a red bead is cinnamint flavored; and another in cool mint. Overall, the Colgate Wisp, does exactly what it promises; fresh breath and clean teeth on the go.
