Oral B Electric Toothbrush

Anyone found a way of making the heads a bit of a tighter fit? The "fake" heads are so loose that they sometimes detatch mid-cleaning. The original ones seem to wobble more than they should as well.

I bought some non-Braun ones on eBay that were very loose. I tried a small self-tapping screw through the side into the flat of the shaft which worked well, but didn't appeal to the missus so we binned them.

Genuine Braun ones have always fitted OK - we stock up on the 8-packs at Costco when they are on special offer.

How do the heads detach? I'm about due a swap for a new one and can't find any release catch.

They just pull off.

bit of plastic film etc, or get a different 3rd party make of head

Due to the tendency for mould to build up they're best removed after each use. And bleached now & then.

I feel that the spiggot that they push on to is a bit worn on mine. With the "copy" brushes I tried removing the internal coloured collar with the intention of trying to crush it in a bit. Alas it was brittle plastic and it broke. Will try a bit of heat with the next one.

Take the head off after each use and thoroughly wash head and body, dry off, and put on the charger. No mould in sight.
