I used to get sore gums from my toothbrush, but Quip is gentle and effective. I love the old school aluminum of the handle (giving me 1st gen iPod mini in all the right ways). Simple to sign up for and I love that my replacement brush heads are getting sent to me and I never have to worry about buying them again. The design is near perfection - love the holder/cover. I never thought I would love a toothbrush this much!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
