The rubber grip cushioning on my wife's Sonicare HX6730 toothbrush
handle has softened, gotten sticky and started to chunk off.

The Sonicare lives on its charging stand located on the edge of her
bathroom sink. So I'm thinking the damage is the result of several
years' exposure to over-spray from hairspray and other assorted
lady-grooming chemicals.

Youtube videos show how to replace the battery and do other mechanical
repairs- but I couldn't find anything about replacing the rubber grip
panels.

I guess I could just peel them off- but I don;t think she'd be happy
with a redneck fix. Any ideas for doing a proper repair?

A hobby shop may have something that's a little more girlie. Nothing
wrong with Redneck fixes as long as it work

Yeah, I think it's just a cosmetic issue. I'm going to pull it all off
and if I can't sell her on still using it, I'll trade her my handle and
take hers.

Real men don't need prissy looking vibration-absorbing material on their
toothbrush handle anyway.
