A packaged oral care implement () and method of opening the same. In one embodiment, the package () includes a tab () on a first panel () of the package that is strategically located so that the oral care implement itself () acts as a foundation or barrier adjacent to the tab that assists with shearing the first panel to release the tab.

A cosmetic applicator brush having a twisted wire core and an array of thermoplastic bristles with free tips extending radially outwardly from the core, wherein at least some of the bristles have shapes and/or surface textures modified at one or more localities between their free tips and the core by selective irradiation of the aforesaid locality or localities with laser energy. A method of making the brush includes the steps of assembling the core and bristles to form a brush, trimming the bristles to achieve a desired brush profile, and selectively irradiating at least some of the bristles with a laser beam at localities between the bristle tips and the core.

Cosmetic applicator brush and method of manufacture

A suction handle, a suction handle assembly, and an oral care system. The suction handle can include a first axis oriented along a longitudinal direction, a first conduit having a first bore oriented along the first axis, and a second conduit adapted to be coupled to the first conduit, which can have a second bore oriented along the first axis. The first conduit and the second conduit can be movable with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction between a first position in which there is no fluid communication between the first and second bores, and a second position in which there is fluid communication. An actuator can be coupled to at least one of the first conduit and the second conduit that which can pivot about a second axis oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to the first axis between a first and second actuator position.
