I can call Reach Toothbrush people tomorrow. For now, just wondering if anyone else has bought these and gotten into them. I bought a set of four Reach toothbrushes. Two of the brushes have plastic caps over the bristles and I can in no way get them off. There is a note on the package that says "Free Brush Caps" but there is no message as to how to remove the caps. I have tried everything short of a knife and I fear that would be too clumsy, meaning dangerous. They are evidently permanently sealed. Has anyone else bought these and succeeded in removing the caps?

I use these GUM covers. Don't know if they fit all toothbrushes but mine is not a Reach toothbrush. This cover is easy on and off.

Thank you. I'm not wanting any covers on them at all. They just came this way. However, I suspect covers would be good if a person was traveling. I remember having toothbrush cases. Just put the whole toothbrush inside.


That said, GUM makes good products. I have used other things they make. Thanks.

OH I like the idea of a GUM cover, I never used them until a couple yrs ago...keeps brush cleaner for sure.

Probably true but would also slow it down from drying.

Whatever, never entered my mind. I just checked, there are 3 air holes on each side of the GUM cover. Not a concern here...to me seems better to keep the brush from more outside germs.

Hazel, have you figured out how to remove the caps?
