No little colored bands to stick on to tell apart the brush heads? Any ideas so I don't have to draw a circle on them with permanent marker??

Really, this is one of the best electronic toothbrushes out there. I don't suppose they thought of color-coding them. Therefore, permanent market is probably the answer. Better that solution than a lesser electronic toothbrush that has been color-coded.

There are no colored bands on the brush heads. Philips rather opted for geometric symbols on the base of the diamond brush heads. The brush heads I got with the unit had a circle and a triangle while the six pack replacement heads I bought for the unit were marked with small triangle and square symbols. So that gives me the possibility of sharing the unit with at least three people including myself. I don't know if philips uses more than the three symbols I mentioned.

My only solution to differentiate b/t brush heads other than permanent marker is to buy the other colored version of what you currently have.

Since I'm the only one who uses the brush, i don't have the problem. I guess the marker would be the way to go. Maybe colored rubberbands?

My dentist actually suggested a little dot of nail polish on the backside of the brush head at the bottom where it attaches to the brush. Either that or permanent marker would suffice if you have 2 of the same color brush heads. Philips does sell both black and white brush heads for the DiamondCare series.

They are markers...but I would not recommend this set. There were too many that were almost completely dried out. I am very disappointed in this purchase! I bought Tombow brushes before and LOVE them...my suggestion not to buy these particular ones was based on almost 1/3 of them were almost dried out upon arrival. Thank you to another of you who recommends wetting the tip on the ones that appear dried out.

The red ones seem to be the ones that don't work for me either. It must be something about how they detect it is dark. No suggestions, other than it would be nice if they sold sets of the same color!

If you use a permanent marker it wont come off. Or you could make a template of what you want it to say and spray paint it.

I can't be of much help...my daughter said that she just took the cap off with no problem and used it. She has since lost the marker, so I can't check it out for you. Maybe you got a bum marker? Sorry!

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tipstill got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead"associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, aboutone a month.

They write similar to the skinny Crayola markers. Maybe slightly wider than those. Not sure if that helps any... I tried to upload a picture and it wouldn't let me.

They have a variety of colors. If you buy individually it should say which color you'll get, but if you buy in packages of 3, 6, etc. then they randomly select the colors you'll receive. If you want to see the colors available, go to the manufacturer website: http://www.radiustoothbrush.com/

I just received my in retail packaging. There was only one brush floss-action brush head. I timer/clock is pretty neat. I do look at it when I use the tooth brush.

Some reviews mentioned them falling apart when washed, so you might want to avoid tie dying. We put cardboard inside and used colorful sharpie markers. Kids stenciled or drew their own thing. Then we gave them the choice to either leave them as they were or drip alcohol over the drawing. Markers then ran and gave an effect similar to tie dye. This is not the website I used but it looks even better. We only needed them for very light duty so it didn't matter that they were cheap. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=enISuVlmD6M

I had a hard time finding the brush as well. I have bought the small travel set just to get the brush! I believe you can find some on ebay under "pocket brush" or Cotman series 111. I hope this helps.

There's a small notch right below the brush head that you're supposed to push/hold down and pull off the brush head. Your tooth brush should have came with a small plastic piece for this that you lay against the tooth brush and press. If you don't have that piece you can use something to push that little notch down. Hope that helps.

You could use pen or sharpie. They are small though, so you will need a fine point.

Sadly I don't have a ruler with me, but they are smaller than a normal pen you would use so they are a bit smallish. If you use normal size brushes then switch to these it will feel a bit off because it feel so tiny but you get used to the size.

I couldn't figure it out either - cut the tips off and they drained immediately. I finally discarded them after writing a comment to Amazon about how useless the are, and then bought some more expensive clay ones which are very good. My advice is send them back for a refund, if you can.

The replacement brushes i have gotten for years have little plastic rings in different colors that you can put on the brush head. They were called Pro Results brush heads.

You can use normal ones. The best ones to use are the expo neon markers. They're pretty cheap on amazon.
