Customer reviews of Orinko

At first, I thought these ceramic beads were very pretty, but I had trouble knowing if they were really effective, and how much to put in the water. Then I discovered the details given by the other comments (and I thank the first three in particular who gave very interesting detailed details). Then I went on the Orinko website, and I invite you to do so because everything is well explained.At the beginning, I put 3 pearls in the carafe, 3 in the kettle, 3 in the water of the coffee maker! and I realized that it was far from being enough.Too bad that this innovative product is not directly accompanied by a small booklet explaining clearly how to use them.Key points :? Put about ten pearls for one liter of water? Wait half an hour before drinking the water? To keep the pearls active, always keep them in a bottom of water? To clean the pearls, let them soak overnight in vinegar, then dry them for a day, preferably in the sun? It is an ideal complement to activated carbon, because the latter is more effective against micropollutants, heavy metals and residues of the agricultural industry, but the ceramic pearls, they, filter effectively the limestone... They can also be used to water plants, and to avoid limescale in toilets and coffee machines, to wash clothes! Their life span is long: about 10 years if they are well maintained? In addition, they are compostable, unlike the filters of carafes which are very difficult to recycle (because they are made of plastic). In short, it is a great product, go and see the Orinko website to know how to use it well.

The product arrived quickly and was well packaged. It is very pleasant to use and comes with its own little fabric pouch. The result is good, even my tongue is red.

Nothing could be easier than using this oriculi. Thanks to Edouard for his simple and effective practical guide, which made me realize how important it is to act for the planet.

I bought these oriculi to replace the cotton swabs, they came in a small resealable bag. First of all, they are much more ecological since they can be reused after washing, they are made of bamboo and remain hygienic, there is no worry about that. Secondly, I find them much more efficient because cotton swabs push earwax to the bottom of the ear, which accumulates and eventually creates a plug. Here it is not the case because the small spoon-shaped tip removes everything. You just have to do it gently and be careful not to push it in too far. These are the second ones I've tested and I prefer them to the others because the tip is thinner and more precise. I recommend it, and the salesman sends advice on how to use it by email, which is great.

I found it strange at the beginning but finally, you get used to it. The only drawback is the end of the small stick, to clean it, it's a little hard and it's a little bit hard too, but overall, it's great.

Lot of 6 sticks of Siwak.it's a nice discovery and a good alternative to the toothbrush.you have to chew one end of the stick to remove the bark and make the fibers appear.you just have to brush your teeth with it, the teeth are very smooth and these sticks leave a feeling of freshness.I am delighted with this ecological and biodegradable discovery.correct price

I have a filtering carafe bought in an organic store (reusable charcoal filter) and I'm very happy with it.I wanted to test this product because a friend of mine has the wooden one and she is very happy with it. So why not test it in our water bottles? My assessment after a few weeks of use: I put a single stick for a glass bottle of one liter. The taste of chlorine disappears for the most part, or even totally if you leave it overnight.it's very easy to use: you just have to boil the stick for 10 minutes and you can use it.the quality/price ratio is, in my opinion, very good. The filtering carafes are faster, but also more expensive.I indicated mixed because we can not know if the capture of heavy metals and others, is really done. What I can see is that my carafe filters limescale (my kettle is always clean) but this carbon does not, but it is not sold for that...

The product is really super practical as well in the means of storage as the holding in hands moreover it is not so bad at the level of the tasteI recommend

I'm so happy to find these in a pack and at a low price! I've been using them for years and they are a great alternative to cotton swabs which are bad for the earThese are super cute and thanks!

Batch of 25 ceramic beads, it allows to filter the tap water by removing the taste of chlorine, limestone and pesticide residues.10 beads must be placed in 1 liter of water, after 30 minutes of pose, the water can be consumed.infinitely reusable.Good value for money.

Very easy and practical. No need for cotton swabs anymore.

I did not know at all and yet it's been 2 weeks since I dropped my ULTRASONIC toothbrush! It's super pleasant to use, you have a feedback between the hand and the tooth quite incredible. you feel well what you do, you feel the friction on the tooth, in short, the feeling of doing things well!Moreover, it is super effective, the plaque is well removed (I use with toothpaste), no dental problem since 2 weeks. Honestly, it takes a little more time than a classic toothbrush (4-5 minutes), because it is necessary to insist on the interstices, but the results are there! And without plastic!

Set of 6 sticks to brush your teeth in a different way.it's quite funny but doesn't seem to me as efficient as a good old toothpaste and a toothbrush.but in case of travel without water at hand, it's good enough.

My water is not particularly hard, does not have a bad taste... I have a filtered circuit dedicated to drinking water. Well, it is difficult to find a real advantage, the water is very close, not to say identical to the one that comes out of the "classic" tap, nothing to do with the filtered water which is much more neutral in taste ....

I ordered these ceramic beads because I am unable to drink tap water at home. Its taste is so unpleasant that I don't want to try it. So I test solutions, among them these ceramic beads. I put a handful in my carafe and filled it with water. I waited a dozen hours before tasting it and it was perfect: no unpleasant taste. For me it is as effective as bamboo charcoal and more discreet at the bottom of the carafe. A solution that fully suits me.

I put a few pearls in my kettle and since then no more lime deposit at the bottom.the result over several days is always positiveA product that does not take up space and avoids all kinds of cleaning due to limescale...

I was surprised by this natural toothbrush system. It comes in the form of 6 sticks individually wrapped in plastic. When you open the plastic, you get a "wet" stick. It is easy to remove the bark just by chewing on the end. At that point, there is a very strong, somewhat disturbing smell that comes out. The wood fibers actually act like toothbrush bristles, a little thicker though. It's fun to brush your teeth and gums with it, even if I find it not very practical. After brushing, the teeth are very smooth, so it works! Perfect for an extra wash, I won't use it for a daily wash.

Well it must be said that it tastes very strong turnip.it is necessary to cut the stick to eliminate the bark and crush the fibers with the teeth or better with a pliers.we tested in family these natural toothbrushes.and the report is the following.teeth whiter, immediately, smoother.fibers of detached and remain in the mouth.the taste of turnip not top Practical in certain circumstances.

Recent use so difficult to measure longevity but the product is as expected

Here is a set of 25 ceramic beads from the brand "Orinko "These ceramic beads seem to be an efficient and economical alternative to the carbon filters I usually use to filter tap water.we dip the ceramic beads in a carafe of tap water and they absorb chlorine, limestone and chemical residues contained in the tap water.Nevertheless, ceramic beads are complementary to carbon filters because they are effective with limestone, which is not really the case with carbon filters, which are more effective on pollutants from the agricultural industry (heavy metals, pesticides, etc.). A little more, if the water is very hard. When the beads are saturated, they can be cleaned by brushing them with clear water or by soaking them in white vinegar overnight and then drying them in the sun. The beads should always be covered with water, and although they are guaranteed for life, these drinking water filter beads should be replaced after six months at the latest.It should be noted that this is a French brand and that the pearls, made in Japan, are enriched with effective micro-organisms (EM) that provide enzymes, vitamins and antioxidants.it is still a small step for man but above all a big step for our planet! I recommend without any reservation, especially since the selling price seems reasonable.

In a logic of waste reduction, we bought these oriculi. We were a little apprehensive at first about the idea of pushing the oriculi too far in, given its rigidity. Finally, after a little time of adaptation, we are conquered and we completely stopped using disposable cotton swabs.

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.

It's perfect for filtering tap water. No more buying plastic bottles.

These 10 charcoal "logs" are to be left in a closed container filled with water in order to purify it. It is not easy to estimate its effectiveness, but the properties of charcoal are known. Note that it is necessary, beforehand, to leave the logs in the open air and especially in the sun for several hours.

I am very sensitive to the taste of water and the one in my town really tastes of foul chlorine! I was not sure if these pearls would work and well if !!!!On receives them in a small bag but there are no instructions, it is written to contact the seller to receive an e-book in download however I did not succeed in downloading it but the site on which I fell allowed me to have all the explanations to use these pearls.For one liter of water it is recommended to use at least 10 pearls to have a real efficiency, it is necessary to wait 30 minutes before consuming the water.it is very impressive more taste of chlorine I did not expect that.nevertheless I cannot still consume the water of my tap because this last one contains too high traces of pesticides but I could see that there were also filters carbon which could palliate this problem.if useful thank you for clicking...

A 100% natural stick for cleaning and whitening your teeth, perfect when you don't have a sink and a classic toothbrush at hand.

I have known siwak for more than 30 years, since I know Africa and India because it is the way to brush the teeth there. It is a very effective product because the Africans and Indians who use it have teeth bursting with whiteness. An American study conducted in 2003 concluded that the use of siwak is more effective than the use of a toothbrush. This solution of hygiene is ecological because the material is recyclable and especially, it is much healthier for the health than the chemical formulas harmful to the health that the industrial cosmetics offer us.

Item conforms to the description, arrived well protected, the 5 oriculis were all well in the packaging. Package arrived on the date planned. The seller sends an e-book by mail to explain how to use the oriculi and I find it topI would recommend without hesitation

Good quality products, I recommend it

These pearls are made of clay and micro-organisms that modify the structure of the limestone crystals and prevent them from redepositing.they are made in Japan and guaranteed for life.At home, the water is very hard, so I put some in my electric kettle but also in the carafes, and well indeed I find that the tap water tastes better since I put the pearls (I do not find this little taste of bleach)

Very pleasant. Soft and efficient.

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 taste of chlorine and limestone bothers me in my consumption of tap water, I was looking for a viable solution ecologically.and these clay beads fulfill their function perfectly in a natural way so no more plastic bottles.I coupled them with a carbon and the taste of the water has really changed.On the bag of pearls you have the email address of the Orinko contact to receive the Ebook, the response is fast.very good value for money.if the comment was helpful to you thank you for voting it useful it's nice to know that we helped.

If you like tap water in a glass bottle, these beads are the perfect friend.they help purify.they can also be used for the kettle and the steamer. I love them! 25 of them can be used almost anywhere.

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.

For a long time now, I have eliminated disposable plastic bottles from my daily life. In my region, the water is very hard, I used to use a carafe filter, but the design of the filters posed a problem: they are bulky, expensive, and above all... plastic + disposable! These ceramic beads allow a 100% ecological alternative to this practice. I received them in a small bag, without any explanation... How many to put in ? How to use them? I understand that customers receive explanations by email, which I did not get. So I did my personal research on the net, here is what I found: the pearls intervene directly on the structure of the water to make it purer. They are composed of a clay enriched with micro-organisms. The 80 strains they contain eliminate chlorine, limestone and most of the harmful residues contained in tap water. Then, they can be left permanently in a bottom of water by supplementing as one goes along. It is enough to wait 10 minutes before drinking the water.15 pearls should be placed in a carafe, in bulk or in a cotton bag.the ideal is to have two carafes, one being activated with the pearls while you consume the other.contrary to the charcoal filters of the carafes which store the residues, these pearls do not require any maintenance and their life expectancy is unlimited. These pearls thus make it possible to improve the taste and the quality of the tap water but in no case to make healthy a non-drinking water (of river for example).Compared to the solution of the carbon bamboos, I like the unlimited character in the time, thus more economic.The uses of the ceramic pearls are numerous:- to filter naturally your drinking water and your aquarium.- to descale the small household appliances: kettle, coffeepot, water-heater... To maintain daily and avoid the deposit of scale in your kettle, coffee pot or water heater, keep continuously 12 ceramic beads.preserve more durably the food as well as the bouquets of flowers.clean the toilets- reduce the cleaning products used in the washing machine and the dishwasher.Well, after all that, I am convinced, hyper convinced even.
