I had been wanting to switch to an electric toothbrush forever because hygiene TikTok told me I was gross if I didn't, but my fixation on living more sustainably — particularly being a freak about recycling and using less plastic — had me hanging onto my manual cornstarch toothbrushes for dear life.

Using an electric toothbrush meant I'd have to throw out the old cleaning head however often you're supposed to do that, contributing to the nauseating statistics about how much plastic we send to rot in landfills or in the ocean each year. Right? Sustainable brand Suri says otherwise. When I heard that an electric toothbrush with swappable, recyclable cleaning heads existed, I was so down. Now, it's on sale for less than $100 this October Prime Day, and I had to take this opportunity to recommend that everyone else consider it, too.

Rather than the rotating head of bristles that you see with many older electric toothbrushes, the Suri uses sonic vibrations to scrub your teeth (on the surface and in between them) more meticulously than what you can do with a traditional non-electric toothbrush in your hand. Suri's website claims that it removes three times more plaque than a manual toothbrush in just one use. All I can confirm is that my teeth definitely feel squeaky clean, and I particularly like that I don't feel the need to scrub painfully hard just to get a good clean.

I really dig all of the accessories that come with Suri, too. When I'm at home, the Suri lives on my mirror on the included mirror mount, and when I travel, my Suri travels with me in the included carrying case that keeps it bacteria free with a UV light inside. Even after using it twice a day, I don't have to charge my Suri more than once a week.

But your main question is probably about the recycling situation. No, you don't have to figure out whether or not your local recycling center accepts this plastic-feeling plant-based material, because Suri deals with it for you. All you have to do is toss the head you're replacing in a prepaid mailer, drop it off at the post office, and pop a replacement head back on. It's a slightly more involved and expensive process than some other electric toothbrushes on the market, but I think it's worth it to feel a little less bad about my contribution to our plastic problem. Living sustainably isn't always the cheapest or easiest option, and if you sit here and argue with me that you need both of those adjectives to apply to do something nice for the planet, I'm going to scream.
