Philips Sonicare HX6042 Kids Brush Head, Standard

Ordering these replacement brush heads was a bit confusing considering that there are two options offered- the Compact size or Standard size. I suppose I didn't look closely enough to register that there are two separate options for this brush head. The photos show below are for the standard kids' size, not the compact. As a result, I accidentally ordered the standard size to refill my kids' Sonicare HX6330 brushes. Overall, the standard size is actually comparable to the adult brush heads (see comparison between the standard size kid's brush head on left and my brush head on right-they are virtually the same). I think the kid's standard size is a bit big for the mouths of my seven years olds and think that the compact would be a better fit (literally). However, notwithstanding my sizing mistake, these brush heads fit our model of Sonicare very well and the quality is top notch.

The tooth brush heads with any kind of design on the back of the brush head which makes a break in the material allows moisture to get inside the brush head creating moisture build up and mold at the base of the bristles. I have tried different brands and my conclusion is that it is a poor design. The heads I have that are non porous on the back have no problems. Brush heads are not returnable so buyer beware. If you are looking for kids heads just purchase a soft/sensitive head made for adults. They also have smaller head size.

These get moldy at the base of the bristles despite me rinsing them extremely well after each use. I've taken to bleaching them every two weeks, because replacing that often would be too costly (we replace every 2-3 months). The kids brushes sit right next to the adult Sonicare brushes we use as well, and they do not get moldy with the same care in the same environment. Super gross for my kids. Will have to switch them to adult brush heads next time we buy new ones

Wow! Five minutes and a sharp pair of scissors (maybe some patience) might get the package opened!Love the product, but just can't get to it!Would be four stars if it came in some kind of hassle-free packaging instead of encased in the curviest, almost impenetrable hard thick plastic packaging that weighs more than the product!

I have the fancy Diamondcare handset, but bought my husband the less expensive kid's handset since he breaks his down quickly. He used the standard head that came with it, so I decided to try out the compact head. I prefer compact heads and I really enjoy the softer bristles -- better for your enamel. I'm going to keep supplying my husband with these, and myself with the compact heads.The other thing I like about them is the rubberized finish. Your teeth feel more protected because you don't have hard plastic vibrating against them at 30,000 rpms.**Edit 7/15/15: I receive these via Subscribe & Save. This month I was mistakenly sent the Diamondcare standard heads. I was briefly confused and came online to check if that's what I had ordered and I have not. Packing mistake?

In the past my husband and I have tried generic brush heads for our Sonicare and they are so noisy! So for my son I just wanted regular kids Sonicare heads. Fits perfectly and looks just like the original brush head. Glad I can buy them on Amazon. Love the Sonicare! Getting those teeth clean!

I wanted a smaller brush head since the adult size seems to big for my mouth and keeps scraping my gums. These are about the same length, but a little narrower so they really didn't help much. I may need to go back to OralB

Using the kids Philips Sonicare toothbrush has been a great choice for our family. My son is more interested in the having a toothbrush like his parents and it has made toothbrushing a cool and fun event. His teeth are getting cleaner as a result of the electronic brush reaching more than his little hands are maneuvering. In our last dentist appointment, the DDS confirmed his plaque buildup she saw a couple visits ago has improved greatly. I would recommend to anyone with kids that are old enough to not gag and handle the brush in their mouths.

Works well for kids. It fits on my 4300 ProtectiveClean HX6809/16 handle, if anyone is wondering. Philips really should clearly list what heads are compatible with what handles.

Es suave y tiene una funda de acrilico muy resistente, sin embargo es muy grande para que sea para niños.
