  You need to be careful with buying Oral-B replacement heads through eBay. A lot of the really cheap stuff are either generics or chinese knockoffs.

  I normally keep an eye on the Shavershop specials as they have really good deals on the replacement heads from time to time:

  Unfortunately no decent specials on at the moment :(

  Wow-12 brushes for $16 is pretty cheap. I did buy some "genuine" ones at a market and they fell apart after about 3-4-brushes. I love the electric toothbrush but hate having to pay outrageous $$$ for replacement heads.

  Some of the fakes are just as good as the real ones.

  In fact they might be even better! The bristles never lose shape.

    bought fake from ebay once without knowing it and i could tell the difference after couple uses - the brush head became wobbly and even wobblier after more use. OP, please make sure you get the original brush head, money well spent IMO.

      Well I said some.

      I tried one type of fake and it works fine for me.

  The Oral-B pro bright heads that I use are slightly cheaper than normal at Chemist warehouse.
  Currently $18.99 at Chemist warehouse, $26 at coles and $23.95 at Shavershop.

  Not the best deal but better than most other places at the moment.

  I ended up buying these and they arrived today. They look genuine and are marked "Made in Ireland" Some of the "brand" makeup I have bought recently is also marked as Irish made. So- arrived promptly from a Melbourne address. $1 per brush will keep me going for a while :)

    I'm fairly confident the ones you got from eBay are fake. I was fooled similarly too.

    Fake ones wobble, real ones are sturdy.

  I ended up in buying these from Coles (on specials) …4 heads for $19.95. Working good :)
