Unfortunately I bought a brand new Oral-B iO shortly before I started boycotting American products and now I'm kinda stuck with it. I don't want to waste it, but at the same time I'll have to keep buying their expensive brush heads.

I do at least use Sensodyne toothpaste.

No off brand heads you can use?

Apparently two brands make them, Cremodul and Trustnice; maybe a few others, but I'm not keen on using knock-offs because my teeth are quite fragile and apparently both of those brand knock-offs are much harder on the teeth. It also appears you can only really get them online from Amazon, which I'm definitely not keen on - out of the two, I'd rather throw extra money at Oral-B than a single ยฃ1 at Amazon.
