Real Customer Feedback
“I switched to this bamboo toothbrush six months ago and my gums stopped bleeding. The soft wool bristles feel much kinder than the hard plastic ones I used before. The only downside is the bristles wear out faster than nylon, but I change my brush every three months anyway.” – Sarah L., verified buyer

FAQ
How do I dispose of this toothbrush?
Snap off the bristles with pliers and compost the bamboo handle in your garden or municipal compost bin. The wool bristles can be recycled through TerraCycle or placed in household waste as they are natural fibers.
Are the bristles really soft enough to clean properly?
Yes. The soft wool bristles are designed to remove plaque effectively while being gentle on enamel and gums. Many users with sensitive teeth report better oral health after switching. If you prefer a firmer brush, you might find this too soft initially.
How long does one brush last?
We recommend replacing every three months, just like any toothbrush. The wool bristles may show wear slightly faster than nylon, but this is normal and ensures you always use effective bristles.
Is this brush suitable for children?
This unisex brush fits adult hands best. For children under 12, we recommend our smaller Bamboo Kid Brush. The soft wool bristles are safe for older children, but the handle size may be too large for small hands.
Is the bamboo handle treated with chemicals?
No. The handle is sanded smooth and lightly oiled with food-grade mineral oil. No varnishes, paints, or synthetic coatings are used. You can learn more about our sustainable sourcing on our Sustainability page.
