 Make Your Own For a Fraction of the Cost Aug 30, 2011
By BluegrassPicker
These undoubtedly work, but they are expensive, so I tried making my own, as follows. (1) Take a latex glove and cut off one of the fingers. (2) Cut off a very tiny section at the end of the detached fingertip (the resulting small hole will stretch temporarily in the next step). (3) Slip the glove finger down over the brush head, leaving the tip end above the top gasket of the brush head, and pulling the rest of the latex down to where the brush head joins the handle. Voila, no more slime build-up. (Keep the glove on hand in case you have to make more protectors later on.)
It's absurd that a special product should be needed to correct what's obviously a design flaw in the Sonicare Essence line. Sonicare should be providing the fix!

 smart idea, saves lots of yuck! Dec 29, 2009
By J. Romano
Great compliment to any Sonicare toothbrush. I am the only one using the handle on it, so changing heads only occurs when needed. Keeps water & saliva & toothpaste out of the head, yet doesn't change the effecitveness of the sonic action.
1) out of the package feels a little bit sticky (like most silicone) so I held the cover over a bottle of cornstarch powder and squeezed (let the little puff of power land on the inside of the cover but did not sprinkle any powder on it). Cover slipped down the neck just fine, no tearing, and was in place in less than 20 seconds.
2) needed a little bit of stretching to get the ring in place, but again, no problems and now snugly in place.
3) make sure your brush is completely dry both inside & out for the obvious reasons you don't want to trap gunk under the seal.
Suggestion to makers: offer a package of all clear. I'm not a fan of either the pink or the blue.

 They Work but Rip May 11, 2009
By Roxher
These things work. After getting gross black mold in my Sonicare for years, I finally found a solution. Incidentally, Philips Customer Care gave me the run-around and kept telling me that the mold was due to varying humidity in various homes. Does not make sense considering I live with my wife :) and hers does not have mold. They wanted me to take off and dry my brush head every day. What a hassle! Anyway, the Sonic Seal works but, like many of the reviews have said, it is very hard to get one and THEY WILL RIP IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL PUTTING THEM ON. For this price, ripping is a bad situation.

Seems Expensive, but Really, Really Worth The Money Dec 21, 2009
By Alec McNayr
At first glance, I thought this was priced a little too high... $14 for a 3-pack of plastic covers?
But after taking the plunge, I will never go back to putting mold an inch away from my mouth everyday. I've brushed with a Sonicare for years, and was always disgusted at the black goo that seeps out of the head.
As other commenters have mentioned, these covers will definitely be annoying to use if you share/swap heads daily, or even often. Took me about 5 minutes to get it on. But I bought a Sonicare two-pack at a certain Seattle-based big box mart, and now my wife and I can brush mold-free. LOVE IT.
If you're going to spend the extra money on the Sonicare, do yourself a favor and buy these as well.

Corn starch makes it easy to put on Mar 10, 2010
By Barb
The first time I took my toothbrush head off and saw the gunk inside it grossed me out, so I was so glad to discover the sonic seals on Amazon. I took another reviewers advice and sprinkled just a little corn starch inside the sonic seal and tapped out the excess. It slipped right on very easy. I only needed one of the seals so I gave one to my son to put on his Sonicare toothbrush and he likes it too. It makes keeping your toothbrush handle so much cleaner.
