Customer reviews of Orinko

Personally I did not succeed in removing my plugs, I had to go to an ENT

They are very small compared to other brands but otherwise the principle is the same: basically, to retain heavy metals + certain aromatic molecules (to remove an unpleasant taste). You must already have purified your water from a bacteriological point of view (with different techniques, chemical or thermal or by gravity filters, unless the latter already contains activated carbon in its filter) Despite their size, each one can last several months.

First of all, you should know that I'm for zero waste and ecological ideas, now you should know that when I opened the package I thought: "look, these chew bones are funny! "Then I realized that there were 6 of them instead of the advertised 5, great! I tasted it, I found it ... In the end, it won't replace my toothbrush and my ecological toothpaste, but I use it as a supplement for lunch or when I nibble almonds between meals and I have a lot of teeth! I think it's not bad!

This product is sold as an alternative to toothbrushes. But in principle, this is not the case: once the end of a stick is free of its bark, chew the end a little to make it more flexible. Then pass the end over your teeth, from top to bottom. But be careful, given the shape, it is only possible to pass over the front of the teeth. Impossible to clean the back of your teeth and very difficult to clean the underneath.on the other hand, these very good for the dental plaque put attention to you gums, it is rather hard... You have 5 sticks and another in the support. I put 3 stars because of the difficulty filtration and the fact that declare them as a substitute of toothbrush is not true

I had seen a report on these roots which not only clean but disinfect and purify the mouth, of which avoids cavities! With a batch of 5 one has some for all the family and for some times of use.I expected rigid sticks and I find myself with some kinds of flexible pieces of beige color like nerves of ox!Certainly the comparison is bizarre for rather vegetable and natural products but they do not resemble wood.One prepares the stick by making notches with approximately 1 or 2 cm of an end, to peel a little with the knife to make like a brush.One soaks it in water so that it remains soft, from where the container like a large pen to preserve it flexible.It is necessary to chew the stick and it is not very good with the taste! I preferred the licorice sticks of my childhood.then as with a toothbrush we clean from top to bottom and we rinse the Siwak.Personally, I put a drop of essential oil of peppermint in the tube to impregnate a little and cover the taste not top! The teeth seem clean and I hope to have the courage to persevere for the beneficial disinfectant side.

lots of black clusters

Lot of 5 siwak sticks, as you can buy them elsewhere. The size and thickness of the sticks is quite uniform even if there are some differences (which shows the natural side too).each stick is vacuum packed separately. The box is practical even if I am rather disappointed. It is made of plastic. I would have liked something more refined. Less big, in stainless steel or silicone at the limit. The price is correct but would have been perfect with a better quality box.

A set of five Siwak sticks that will allow you to brush your teeth at any time of the day and anywhere, even without water.this device exists since "the dawn of time", it allows to whiten teeth and remove plaque.It is naturally antibacterial, healing, disinfectant and will provide you with all the natural elements you need on a daily basis such as fluorine and other minerals that the body needs.To use it, simply peel the first part of the bark of the stick and then chew lightly the uncovered part, which will give you silky and fine fibers.These last ones are then to be used on your teeth and gums during approximately 5 good minutes so that that is effective.a very good means to palliate all the traditional substitutes like the toothpaste e or the toothbrushes as well as the waste of water.For my part I am satisfied with it but I find the product too expensive for what it is, you can find the sticks in individual sale for about 1.5€ each.you will always have for less expensive than this set, even if here you are also offered the transport box which can be, let's be sincere, be useful.good product overall, I recommend.

Average product

Looks good to me

drinking water

nothing to say

Compared to Brita cartridges, there is a scale deposit that forms

1 month used, it improved the taste of my tap water

The 6 sticks were cheaper than the Black & Blum ones I usually order on the sansbpa site, but they are almost half the size. Quite disappointed with the small size which is only mentioned in grams so misleading. Lots of black residue before and after boiling it, rinse thoroughly! I have not yet tested its effectiveness. Delivery in 24h.

Good product that purifies tap water before drinking it

I AM SURPRISED TO RECEIVE ONLY 4 BINCHOTAN INSTEAD OF 5 AS INDICATED WHEN ORDERING

At home we have several water filtration systems to avoid buying bottles as much as possible. I have already been able to test these charcoal sticks and the use is really simple, you have to boil them in water between 10 and 20 minutes before using them.The water has no taste, it loses the smell of chlorine that it can have when it comes out of the tap as well as the taste a little chalky.par account in view of the size of the sticks that are still quite small compared to what I have already used I find the price a hair excessive even if it lasts several months to purchase it remains a cost.the sticks at the end of use they are compostable therefore recyclable.

Corresponds to the description

Not very pleasant...

First boil for 10 minutes, in order to clean the charcoal, sanitize it, and rid it of its powder residues. Then, we plunge in a carafe of water (up to 1,5l) and we let soak during 1 h minimum, 4h ideally.charcoal has adsorbent qualities - and not absorbent. Recall that absorption is related to volume, it is the process by which a material will retain inside another substance, usually fluid or gas. Adsorption is related to the surface: atoms and foreign bodies adhere only to the surface.the advantages are certain: it is economic (a coal lasts three months) and it improves the taste clearly in case of chlorinated waterBut beware of false information circulating on the net: it is useless to re-boil the coal to make its virtues start again. It's false: you have to heat it up to the extreme temperatures that allowed it to be made, and no, your oven can't do it. As for the filtering virtues, for the moment, no scientific study has proven the filtering capacities of coal. So it's a leap of faith. Finally, for the followers, we will appreciate the guaranteed origin of Japan, guarantee of seriousness in the manufacture.

Compliant, but it still hurts a little ^^

I used to use bamboo charcoal in my carafe, but this product, which is more reputable, differs only slightly:- smaller sticks, so easier to use even in a narrow container- comparable price- much more solid. It's interesting because it avoids having bits of charcoal lying around at the bottom of the carafe- as efficient, but not more so- the fact that it comes from the other side of the world takes away a lot of ecology, especially since there's no shortage of oak in France (but does it have the same properties?) In the end, it works, the water is much better, but ecologically it's not great and at 200€ per kilo, it's a good deal! (fortunately, charcoal for barbecue is cheaper [and maybe as efficient ? we should try ...] !)

Following the rave reviews and my research, I think this is the most ecological and economical solution to consume filtered and dynamized water. When it comes to the taste, I am not so sure because I feel a certain aftertaste. However I heated them 10 min in boiling water as indicated...

Very good for the water which does not taste bad anymore

These sticks are also worth recycling after their first use. And, what's more, a recycling that stays for you instead of going I don't know where since you can have it at leisure as a deodorizer or fertilizer or dehumidifier. Fashion effect? Still, the price is skyrocketing for what is after all only charcoal.

Good value for money

I weighed each stick: one weighs 23 grams, the others between 29 and 31 grams and the heaviest one is 36 grams.Therefore, I think the thinnest one (23 g) will last only 4 months, while the biggest one will last 7 months.In total, such a purchase is made to last 2.5 years (at the rate of two sticks per year).I boil the stick for 20 minutes before the first use, and I renew EVERY MONTH (I put an alarm in my phone).In addition to the treatment with the BICHOTAN charcoal, I also use the porcelain beads.I have a water tester, and indeed, letting it rest for 4 or 8 hours decreases the concentration of minerals (or metals) contained in the water.the water of my carafe loses its smell of chlorine, it's more pleasant.On the other hand, on the price side, taking into account the raw material, I find this product very expensive (29 euros), even if it's only 1 euro per month, it's only charcoal, it's not a precious product, so the price is exaggerated, it should be even more affordable.

Practical to remove the taste of water but must be maintained by boiling it and then the carbon breaks easily, which leaves a black deposit at the bottom of the bottle

Product not too bad, reduces well the deposit of limestone concerning me, well to follow the indications in the back of the packaging.

the product arrived on time, I don't have much experience in using it, but I'm still skeptical about the effectiveness of the product

Good product but fragile

Tested on very hard water, I was not convinced by the result, maybe because I did not let the water stand for 10 minutes before putting the kettle on? The test on cold water was not conclusive either: the water in my town has no taste.it's a pity: I like the idea, and the fact that these pearls are marketed by an ESAT (disabled people who choose to work rather than passively wait for social aid) makes me really want to encourage them.

Good but breaks quickly because a little too thin. 15cm high, 0,5cm thick and 1cm wide.

Perfect for what I wanted

Used to purify waterEasy to use but breaks easily

I found it too long and not rigid enough

For very practical daily, easy to use, to test on the length but should largely replace the cotton swabs.

Bought it, I almost never use it, spoils the taste buds

Received on time, packaging ok
