Description

We looked hard to find a plastic-free toothbrush you could just toss in your compost or throw in a campfire once it has served its purpose. The plastic toothbrush market is HUGE and a large majority of plastic toothbrushes end up in landfills or the oceans. Because toothbrushes need to be replaced three or four times a year. All that plastic really accumulates over a lifetime. We found the perfect toothbrush.

It's handle is made of Miso bamboo which grows quickly and is considered a renewable and sustainable resource. 

No need to cut out the head, this toothbrush is 100% compostable. No nylon bristles. Its bristles are all natural as they are made of boar hair that have been thoroughly disinfected. This hair is a byproduct of the meat industry in China. Rather than discarding the hairs, this supplier cleans and uses them to build brushes.  You might think "yuk, pig hair!", but worry not, the pig hair is completely cleaned before being used to make the brushes. With these natural bristles you can actually adjust the bristle hardness to your preference based on the moisture level. If you want them really soft, just soak the brush in warm water for a minute before brushing. It is completely normal to find some bristles that fall out from time to time.

*It is normal for a few bristles to fall out from time to time. 

Please note that orders of toothbrushes and/or floss ship separately from anything else you might order (though at no extra shipping charge - you are charged only one shipping charge for your full order).

Versatile product

Excellent product. It is nice to find a truly compostable bamboo toothbrush as most use nylon bristles. I like that is uses a "waste" product from the meat industry - boar hair is a fantastic product. Would be great to find a supplier / source in Canada IF the handles are also created in Canada. You do have to brush a bit more gently than you would expect from a plastic brush (will prevent losing bristles) but it is ultimately better for your gums to have a more gentle pressure. I've also given them to guests and they love them as well! My friend used them for her mouth guard and she was impressed too.

I'm so glad I bought a ten-pack of these

I was skeptical, I admit it, about the idea of boar bristles in a toothbrush, but I went ahead and jumped in and bought the 10-pack, and I'm so glad I did. These are great toothbrushes, and I love that they can go right in the compost. The first time or two I use one, I get a bristle or two that come loose, but that's it--after the first couple of days, that doesn't happen anymore. They clean my teeth better than any I've used before. Thanks so much for making these available!
