DH and I each have an Oral B electric toothbrush, different types.

Does anyone buy the cheaper replacement brush heads, i.e. Pro ones?

They seem a lot cheaper, and say ‘compatible with most Oral B toothbrushes’, but unsure. No use if after breaking into the plastic case you find they don’t fit.

compatible does not mean as good as the original

I have a packet of recyclable ones - not tried them yet.

I agree with all the above. False economy!

No, I've never bothered with them. I usually get the Oral B ones from Boots online on £10 Tuesday.

I try to use the recyclable ones. Perfectly compatable

I’ve been using recyclable ones for years now. I can’t tell the difference plus when I’ve used up all the pack I can send them back to the company to be recycled.

Calendergirl, I have a (rather ancient) Philips Sonicare rather than an Oral B, and purchased compatible heads by Pro from Superdrug the other week as they were on special offer, and they are fine, an so much cheaper than Philips which are very expensive. So I imagine their OralB heads should be good too.
