Revolutionizing Oral Care: The Pure Electric Oral Care Kit

Yao Dai and Hengbo Zhang's Innovative 2-in-1 Design Wins Silver A' Design Award

Introducing Pure, an innovative electric oral care kit that integrates an electric toothbrush and a water flosser. This unique design by Yao Dai and Hengbo Zhang, which won the Silver A' Design Award in 2022, aims to simplify daily oral care routines while promoting sustainability and space efficiency.

Electric toothbrushes and water flossers have become staple oral care products in many households. Recognizing the potential to streamline these tools, Yao Dai and Hengbo Zhang conceived the idea of combining them into one compact, multifunctional device. The result is Pure, a 2-in-1 electric oral care kit that embodies a philosophy of sustainability and long-lasting durability.

Pure's unique properties set it apart from other products in the market. The toothbrush handle can switch between toothbrush and water flosser modes by recognizing module replacements, simplifying operation and saving space. A built-in airflow fan prevents moisture contamination of the brush head, eliminating any psychological discomfort associated with damp brushes.

The manufacturing process of Pure involves plastic injection and metal stamping technologies. The product is composed of various materials including silicone rubber, carbon steel, aluminum, magnets, stainless steel, chrome, titanium, ABS plastic, and LEDs. The product dimensions are Width 85 mm x Depth 140 mm x Height 315 mm.

Operation of the Pure is user-friendly. It features an on/off switch and a gear control. The user can switch to the toothbrush mode with a simple push, and continue pushing up to activate the airflow fan to dry the brush head. The water flosser head can be replaced by unlocking the switch on the handle, which automatically recognizes and switches to water flosser mode. The water flosser can be used by connecting the bottom of the handle to the base. After each use, the handle and accessories can be placed into the storage box attached to the base for charging and UV disinfection.

The design process of Pure, which started in May 2021 and finished in December 2021, involved extensive research. The team studied oral care statistical reports from China and the US, analyzing the popularity and market sales of electric toothbrushes and water flossers. They also applied principles of marketing advertising analysis combined with popular visual elements for rendering and layout. Overcoming creative and technical challenges, they developed a compact, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing product that meets daily oral care needs while saving space.

In conclusion, Pure is more than just an oral care product. It represents a refined and healthy lifestyle, encouraging more attention to oral health issues. Its innovative design and functionality have earned it the prestigious Silver A' Design Award, a testament to its outstanding expertise and innovation. With Pure, Yao Dai and Hengbo Zhang have truly revolutionized the world of oral care.
