Our lives are too complicated.
My electric toothbrush, a “Fairywill,” courtesy of a small Chinese manufacturer, has five brushing choices: White, Clean, Sensitive, Polish and Massage.
I try to keep it on Clean, the middle-of-the-road choice. Every once in a while, I mistakenly hold down the single button to turn it off too long and it changes the mode.
Aaaaugh!
It takes messing around with the toothbrush for several minutes until I can get it back into the Clean mode again.
Of course, I threw away the little slip of paper that told me what to do a long time ago.
Like most products purchased from small Chinese manufacturers, there may or may not be an online instructions manual. (I did find these instructions which may or may not be there in a few years.)
But why did they give me so many choices to start with?
What if I want my teeth to be white and polish and massage them at the same time? That’s not an option.
Simpler would be better.
When I was a teenager, I loved choices. Now that I’m older, I appreciate a product that just does it right out of the box.
