 Great design, but the small brush does not hold up October 19, 2008
The package comes with 2 brushes; a large bottle brush, and a small nipple cleaning brush.
The big bottle brush in the pack is absolutely flawless. It does it's job well, it's very reliable, and well designed.
The small brush is used to clean the valves and the silicon nipples. This is the one that I love and hate! It does a phenomenal job at cleaning, but the problem is that it's rather fragile. Within several washes, the sponge literally falls apart, if you're not especially gentle. Born Free does not sell the small brushes separately. Every time the small brush breaks, you'll end up having to replace both brushes, even though the big bottle brush is practically new. This gets very expensive over time.

I am buying my second set. Mine started to fall apart after over 6 months of use (which is probably too long to keep one of these things) and it's by far, the best brush I've used. And I've tried them all.
 interesting design, but doesn't hold up August 20, 2008
Pros:
+ Twist action is interesting
+ No bristles mean no scratching of bottles
Cons:
- Bottle brush is falling apart after just 4 mths for a nursing baby (e.g., not that many bottles!) and the foam section of bottle brush is so wide that it's practically unusable with other brands
- Expensive, especially when you consider how quickly they need to be replaced
- Nipple brush is poorly designed; when inserted into the nipple, the foam slides off to the side leaving just the plastic handle
Bottom line: Don't buy.
Instead: Head to your grocery store's dishwashing aisle and look for a handled scrubby designed for cleaning stemware. It'll be a little wide most likely, but for only $2 you can trim to fit your brand and it'll hold up a lot longer!
 Bottle brush falls apart almost instantly June 26, 2008
This is my second set of bottle/nipple brushes from Born Free. The first set lasted about 4 months and I was generally happy with it. I recently purchased a replacement set and was really bummed when the bottle brush fell apart after JUST ONE USE on my Born Free bottles! The foam is so stiff that, when you insert the brush into the bottle, it catches and tears on the sides of the bottle. Now, one week later, my brush is torn to pieces and is useless.
I love the nipple brush, which is the only reason Im giving this two stars instead of one. I've yet to find a good replacement for the bottle brush, but trust me, I'm looking.
 Don't scratch bottles! Great! May 18, 2008
I really like my bottle brushes made by Born Free. I tossed all my other ones, because they SCRATCH the bottles. Plastic bottles with scratches on the inside do not get clean. Bacteria can grow in the grooves so I don't use the wire brushes. I handwash 4 bottles a day (I breastfeed most of the time, but my daughter gets 4 bottles of breastmilk a day). These brushes have held up through 2 children so far, and they are starting to come apart after a year. I will be buying another set soon, but they really are great. They do get the bottle and nipple very clean.
