The online store "Orinko" is praised for its products, particularly the gravity water filter and charcoal refills, which deliver clean and pleasant-tasting water that many find superior to tap water. Customers highlight the ease of installation and use, appreciating the aesthetic design of the carafe made from stainless steel. The promptness of delivery stands out, with many noting their orders arrived quickly and in good condition.
Sometimes it's hard to brush your teeth - especially when you're traveling. The Siwak stick is an excellent alternative to the toothbrush! Everyone can use the stick as they wish, by insisting on the gums or between the teeth. Between two uses, it is advised to keep it in a clean and dry place (e.g. a tissue, a toothbrush case).the result is surprising: with the passage of the tongue on the teeth, they are smooth. The stick does not change the breath but it leaves a slight taste of freshness on the teeth.one star less for the plastic packaging, which is a pity considering the eco-responsible commitment of the product.

The siwak plant is a discovery for me, I did not know at all... The batch includes 6 sticks... To use it, you have to remove one end of the stick, to remove the bark and reveal the fibers...It is probably effective and in any case it is a good ecological gesture, however the smell and the taste do not suit me, and it is thus difficult for me to clean my teeth with it... The more, it is not very easy to wash the teeth of the bottom, or the internal face of certain teeth... I like this healthy and ecological side, but unfortunately I will not renew the experiment very often.

Be careful not to leave them lying around, I find them very small, even dangerous for young children who might be tempted to taste them.I don't understand the principle of this Japanese-made ceramic and its effect on limescale or on what gives the taste to water.I prefer to use it to treat the water of the iron.

I'm always a little skeptical about this type of product, but it seems to me that it does work. I live in Paris, where the water quality is good, although quite hard. I put a dozen of these pearls in a bottle of tap water, and its taste seems to be purer, without me being able to determine if there is a placebo effect, or if it simply "works"!

Obviously, these ceramic beads reduce the formation of limestone.having a very strongly limestone water (the worst region of France...), it is not bad to be able to fight against this problem.but the tap water does not unfortunately contain only limestone... It is also invaded by antibiotics, hormones among other things which one rejects in the sewers and which are not cleaned in spite of the passage in purification plant...Morality, it doesn't change much to the water we drink, limestone is not bad for our health! On the other hand, it's not bad when used in the toilet flush, it seems to slow down the formation of limestone flows where small leaks were constantly drawing ugly streaks on the sides of the toilet bowl, streaks that I had to scrape regularly with a screwdriver to make them disappear... So, I appreciate the service!

The smell reminds me of a vegetable, the texture is very curious, to get the fibers, I cut the bark a little and I chewed the end of the root to separate the fibers.You get this mini brush, but it really has nothing to do with a toothpaste, it's fun to rub your teeth with, but that's all. It's neither bad nor good.I enjoyed this new experience, but for every day, I won't do it again, I like too much the fresh feeling of my usual toothpaste.I reserve this siwak for a camping trip, a total return to nature.Fans will like it, for sure.

Indeed these sticks make the teeth smooth as clean but it is difficult to reach the bottom teeth. There is no taste so I wonder if I don't have any results on breath compared to toothpaste.

I admit I was really skeptical. Especially since the pearls come in a mini plastic paper bag. Receiving an ebook by giving your email is not really my thing, we already receive too many ads. So I looked into the internet search. On their website, I didn't find the pearls for sale, but they talk about them on their blog.Before starting, I cleaned them as indicated on their page: one night in vinegar, and one day in the sun.It's crazy, it works. Once your beads are in your water, you have to wait 30 minutes and the water really tastes better. It's been a week that I leave water in a glass with a pearl and no limestone. It's great this thing and especially much more economical than these brand filters that are not so effective.CAUTION, they also indicate that the pearls, if they are well maintained, must be changed every 10 years, so "lifetime use" is a bit exaggerated.Note that you need 10 pearls for 1 liter of water.CAUTION, the price varies from day to day (at the time of writing the review, they were at 26 € and today at 19 €).In short, totally convinced and I recommend it to 100

I took these sticks to test because I did not know. After test, these sticks are very practical when we are outside and we can't necessarily brush our teeth after the meal. After, it is still not a toothbrush and it is difficult to remove everything well. I recommend for the cleaning of the teeth in outside...

Having spent some time in Africa, I am used to these wooden sticks that fray and are used as toothbrushes there.These sticks are not of the same wood as the one used in Mali.They are delivered in individual packaging.At the opening, we have a certain smell, which goes away quickly though.We have to remove the bark on about 1 cm, the wood inside frays, we can then brush our teeth with it (and not just bite it).It is efficient, teeth are smoother. On the other hand, we find ourselves with a lot of small residues of wood in the mouth, which is not the case with the traditional sticks that I was able to use before.On the principle, therefore, it is yes, but defects in these sticks.

My tap water has a strong chemical taste, I had to put two sticks for one liter of water instead of one to have a tasteless water, and I had well followed the instructions ... So the pack is going to last me less than expected. I'm thinking of trying the big binchotans, to be seen in time

They are sticks coming from the root of an African shrub, and they should be used as an alternative to toothbrush and toothpaste. I want to use them as an emergency solution when I can't brush my teeth after each meal, but it won't make me give up my toothbrush ritual. It's nice to chew, but I don't think it's very efficient. It's difficult to evaluate!

I am satisfied with the product after several months of use. The water has really lost its smell and its chlorinated taste after 3 to 4 hours in the bottle and the charcoal.on the other hand, one was completely in crumbs when we opened the box so as I absolutely wanted to try quickly, I said nothing. But it is necessary to pay attention to the packing even well packed it is fragile and if in crumbs it is unusable. So 1 lost. That said, I'll take some anyway.

I think that for the moment it is still a bit expensive but the idea is more than good and allows you to purify your water in the right way. The tap water may be drinkable, but it is not without bacteria and I find the idea nice. It is a batch of 10 sticks that can be used for about 1 month. Easy to use, just boil the first time then place the stick in the water and taste after only 1 hour but the best is to wait until 4 hours. Anyway everything is explained on the box. Reusable of course until the day it won't work anymore and you can use it as fertilizer :)

Water filter in the form of a charcoal stick.The stick is thin and fits easily into a gourd or a water carafe.For the water to be filtered, it must be left for several hours before consuming it.The sticks are rolled up in a kind of "paper" in polystyrene.It's a pity that. Everything is explained in French on the cardboard to maintain and use these sticks.it will be necessary to boil the stick 10 minutes in water before using it. You have to boil the stick for 10 minutes in water before using it, and you have to do it every 2 to 4 weeks.you have to leave the stick for a minimum of 1 hour before using it and the best is up to 4 hours.the water is filtered naturally.it's a good alternative to bottled water (personally I drink tap water everywhere I go, unless it's not recommended).I find these sticks practical for people who travel. It is a very good natural filter and the stick can be recycled (I would put it in my soil, it is a good natural fertilizer).

If I trust the description on the site, these 10 pieces of charcoal give 1 and a half years of filtration. Delivered in a round box, these ten charcoals are used as follows: boil 10 minutes before the first use, put in the carafe, or other container of one liter, then repeat the operation after 2 to 4 weeks. The charcoal can be used again for 2 to 4 weeks. Then the charcoal goes to the compost.the time is function of the volume of water filtered daily, knowing that it takes 4 hours for an optimum result, 1 hour to notice a notable progress.for a carafe of 2 liters, I put 2 charcoals, at least I proceeded so with my previous charcoals.this ecological system allowed me not to buy any more bottled water, but also to protect my kettle and my coffeemaker. I only give filtered water to my cats.the bamboo is an interesting one because it grows very fast, so this charcoal is eco-responsible.the downside: the plastic used to protect the charcoals.
