There’s an issue with my Goby, what do I do?
We’ve got your back -- email help@goby.co and we’ll help you out. We recommend you also double check the user guide to make sure you’re using Goby correctly.
How long should I charge my new Goby
Your goby has been traveling all over the world in preparation for this moment and may have lost its charge along away. For the first few days, we suggest letting your Goby sit on the charger between uses and recharge from its long trip.
How long should I charge my Goby after it runs out of batteries?
Once your goby runs out of batteries we suggest letting it charge for a full day.
How long does a full charge last?
Using the dentist's recommended 150g of pressure a full charge will last approximately two weeks, brushing twice a day. Brushing harder will decrease the battery life and may damage your gums.
What does the blue light mean?
Dentists recommend replacing your brush head at least every three months. To ensure you never forget, the power button also serves as a replacement head indicator. After three months of usage, the power button will illuminate blue to remind you to change your brush head. To reset the replacement head indicator light, hold down the power button for five seconds.
How do you brush your teeth properly with a Goby rechargeable electric toothbrush?
Wet the brush head and apply toothpaste. To avoid splashing, position the brush at your teeth before turning on.
In one quadrant of your mouth, guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth surface. Brush the fronts, then the backs, and finally the chewing surfaces.
A short vibration will alert you when it’s time to switch quadrants. Repeat Step 2 on all four quadrants.
When your two minutes are up, the toothbrush automatically turns off.
How often and how long should I brush my teeth with a Goby rechargeable electric toothbrush?
Dentists recommend brushing your teeth for two minutes, twice a day.

How often should I change my toothbrush head?

Can two people share their Goby?
We do not recommend that two people share a single brush head; however, two people can share a single brush handle and use their own, separate brush heads.
Is Goby water/shower proof?
While you should not submerge your Goby in any body of water, it is safe to use in the shower and in environments where it will get splashed with water.
