Families needed to test new Philips Sonicare for kids - you must have a child aged 4-10

We've been asked by Philips to find 20-25 families who can test their new Sonicare for Kids rechargeable toothbrushes.

Each family selected will get to keep the brushes, worth £70 each, and will be required to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet after using the brush for a couple of weeks. We'll start this thread once the brushes have been sent out.

Everyone who adds feedback will also be entered into a prize draw to win a pair of Sonicare FlexCare toothbrushes (for adults) - worth £160 each.

Philips say their new brush is designed for children aged 4 to 10 years, and is based on the same technology as Sonicare FlexCare for adults, but with power levels and features specially suited for smaller, younger mouths. Tough on plaque yet suitably gentle on young teeth and gums, Sonicare For Kids removes 75% more plaque than a manual toothbrush. 91% of US dental professionals who did a trial of the the brush with their own children said they preferred Sonicare for Kids over their child's previous brush.

To be in with a chance of testing this new product, please add your details. You must live in the UK and have a child aged 4-10.

We're able to send out two brushes to families who are selected who have more than one child aged 4-10.

Thanks and good luck!

Edam - we just use your MN name for internal purposes only - Philips will get your real name and address only for sending out the stuff (should you be selected). All emails to you will only come from MN.

Edam/Fishie/flashharriet - the brushes are for children aged 4-10 so when you fill in the form say how many children aged 4-10 you have and what we mean is that if you, as a family, are selected and you have 2 children aged 4-10 then you will be sent 2 brushes (they don't have to share one!!!) If you have 3 in the age bracket and are selected then we'll send 3. There is a max number of brushes available. Sorry for slight confusion.

lisad123 - Philips will be sending products out next week sometime....

ha edam, those were from a 'guess which is nappy rash' question we did ages ago....need to remove them really. I work for MN doing all kinds of research...have only been here nearly 2 years now

MN and Philips were overwhelmed with the positive response to this research project ? we actually had more than 300 of you signing up for the product test in less than 24 hours! We closed this off much earlier than imagined so as not to cause too much disappointment.

We have now selected the testers and the Sonicare brushes are being sent out today or tomorrow by Citylink ? all should have their brushes by the weekend.

I am pleased to announce the testers are: Flashharriet, brandonsflower, charleymouse, Comewhinewithme, CORNSILK, dingle, Dottydot, Flier, Forkhandles, hayes, hellymelly, heymammy, hunkermunker, IlanaK, Jux, mustrunmore, Paolosgirl, Psychobabble, Shinyshoes, SOLOisMeredithGrey, sweetkitty, tealady, thornrose and TitsalinaBumSquash.

If your name?s on the list please do look out for the delivery.

We will email you with the feedback thread link in a couple of weeks once you?ve had time to test the brushes with the kids. If you have any immediate comments, feel free to add them here!

Congratulations and thanks for being so keen ? sorry to any who were not selected. We?ve got other product tests coming up so keep your eyes peeled.....

sorry guys, it was v. hard selecting - everyone wrote such lovely 'please choose me' statements!

AnnMumsnet · 12/08/2009 16:29

I'm reliably informed you can buy them at boots

AnnMumsnet · 12/08/2009 23:11
