Overview

Quip provides direct-to-consumer oral care products and services, including electric and smart toothbrushes, refillable floss, mouthwash, toothpaste, and gum delivered on a 3-month subscription, plus custom whitening trays and guards and a virtual dental care service. The toothbrush uses sonic vibrating bristles with a built-in 2-minute timer and can last up to 3 months per charge or use a replaceable battery. Subscriptions ensure regular refills and include a lifetime warranty. Distinguishing factors include consumer-focused design developed with dentists, a straightforward subscription model for regular refills, refillable packaging, and a tele-dentistry option that brings dental care to customers remotely. The goal is to make high-quality dental care more affordable and accessible by combining essential oral care products, personalized options, and remote dental services through a direct-to-consumer platform.

Quip Expands Oral Care Line With 'Ultra Lite' Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Quip expands oral care line with 'Ultra Lite' Sonic Electric Toothbrush. Personal care company Quip has launched the Ultra Lite Sonic Electric Toothbrush, a lighter, more accessible version of its premium sonic technology, aimed at reaching a broader consumer base. The Ultra Lite combines Quip's minimalist aesthetic with performance-driven technology. It features the brand's EasyClick Brush Pod system, a guided pressure sensor, three intensity modes, wireless charging and a gunk-resistant silicone neck. It comes in a nature-inspired palette - Meadow, Iris, Air and Ash (with Clay coming in Fall '26) - and is designed to feel soothing, intuitive and naturally at home in everyday life. "Ultra Lite represents the next evolution of Quip design," said Quip CEO Meredith Glansberg. "We wanted to create a brush that offers the best of Quip to help build better habits - smart features, great performance and beautiful simplicity, all at a price point that makes advanced oral care available to more users." Key features include: * Ultra Lite EasyClick Brush Pod Refills: A tri-lock design keeps heads secure and produces 70% less waste than the standard Quip refills * Seamless Silicone Handle: Soft, hygienic and resistant to buildup for a cleaner brushing experience. * Adjustable Power: Three intensities, a built-in pressure sensor and a two-minute guiding timer for simple brushing. * Long-Lasting Rechargeable Battery: Up to 30 days per charge (when used on gentle, two minutes, twice daily) with a magnetic USB charging cable. The new Quip Ultra Lite Sonic Electric Toothbrush debuts February 26 at GetQuip.com and will be available at major retailers soon with an MSRP of $60.
