Quip hopes to improve upon stats that say that about 50% of people do not brush their teeth twice daily and only 25% of people replace the heads on their toothbrushes every three months. The [dental hygiene starter kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buildabrush-starter) from Quip includes oral care basics like a tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush and a protective storage case. For just $5, every three months Quip will deliver a new toothbrush to you. As far as the different tiers that are offered, the starter toothbrushes range in price from $5 to $40, depending on the level of care you're looking for. Quip also sells home and travel toothpaste tubes to make its service as easy to stick to as possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Toothbrush Subscription Services:** Quip's subscription service disrupts traditional toothbrush purchasing habits by offering convenient and regular delivery of dental hygiene supplies. - **Improved Oral Care Habits:** Quip aims to address the common issue of infrequent toothbrush replacement and irregular brushing habits by providing a subscription model that promotes oral care consistency. - **Convenience and Customization:** The different tiers and price ranges offered by Quip's toothbrush subscription service cater to various consumers' dental care needs and preferences, offering a personalized experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Oral Care:** The oral care industry could see disruption as toothbrush subscription services change the way consumers purchase and engage with dental hygiene products. - **Subscription Services:** The rise of toothbrush subscription services reflects the broader trend of subscription-based models disrupting traditional retail and e-commerce sectors. - **Direct-to-consumer (D2C):** Quip's direct-to-consumer approach and focus on convenience present an opportunity for innovation and competition in the D2C industry within the oral care market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Minimalist Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-lite-sonic-electric-toothbrush.md) - [Affordable Sonic Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-electric-toothbrush.md) - [Professional-Grade Sonic Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-next-generation-smart-sonic-toothbrush.md) - [Retractable Travel-Ready Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dentigo.md) - [4-in-1 Oral Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oral-care-system.md) - [Lasting AI-Powered E-Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-etoothbrush.md) - [Auto-Caring Toothbrush Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zera-sonic.md) - [Rotating Water Flossers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-water-flosser.md) - [Cost-Conscious Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caripro-electric-toothbrush.md)
