Love the soft bristles
I had several of these brushes given to me by a dentist.  I love them.  I read the other reviewers comments and feel differently about this tooth brush.  Yes, it is shorter.  I measured it against a Colgate brush and the handle was about 1&#34; shorter.  This has no impact on the performance of the brush for me.  It has 4 rows of bristles tapering to 2 at the top. Measured about 1 1/8 inch in head size.  I like the smaller head size - and what I like the most and caused me to buy them is the bristles are soft.  I have a bad habit of brushing too hard, and other brushes I have gotten feel stiff even tho they say soft. They dry hard even when rinsed well in hot water. This one actually is soft and stays soft. No gum damage. That is why I bought them.
