This week I'm obsessed with... Foreo ISSA Hybrid!

Foreo ISSA Hybrid - $229 - in four colours: Black, Cobalt Blue, Lavender and Mint - with all the wonderfulness of the original ISSA's soft, gentle silicone bristles for the gum area - along with the added benefit of PBT polymer bristles on the inner segment of the brush head to cover the surface area of the teeth for a more vigorous brushing experience while still remaining gentle on the gums - making it great for those looking for extra whitening or dealing with plaque build-up.

Even if you regularly use an electric toothbrush, you will find this a very different experience that features sonic pulse technology - with bristles that channel 11,000 high-intensity pulsations per minute making for extremely effective cleaning; with a 3D flexible brush head that helps to reach every crevice in the mouth, plus silicone and PBT polymer bristles that harbour less bacteria thanks to their natural properties and have strong resistance making them durable so the brush head lasts up to 6 months - and it's 100% waterproof, with a sealed charging port so you can even use it in the shower for that all important multi-tasking!

It's easy to use with 8 intensities that you can increase or decrease for maximum comfort and it will remember your preferred setting when you turn it back on; has an integrated timer - pulsations with pause every 30 seconds to indicated when you should move to the next quadrant of the mouth and turn itself off after 3 minutes to prevent overuse and lasts up to 365 uses per full charge making it perfect for travel!

Available now at Murale stores across Canada and online at www.murale.ca.
