Gaia Guy Natural Bristle Bamboo Toothbrush with Boar Bristles - Totally Biodegradable and Compostable - No Nylon Toothbrushes

These are excellent. The head is a smaller size, which is perfection and very hard to find with a bristle length appropriate for adults. I had a plastic toothbrush years ago with similar size which was second to this only due to materials used. The natural bristle brushes are lovely, gentle, very good at cleaning without the feeling of excessive abrasion and pressure. The stains on my teeth are happily lifting off, even from nooks and crannies they usually nestle in until a dental hygienist scapes them off. I was using BASS brushes for years from Orowellness. Theirs are still lovely, but I think for now I'll be using these. Some bristles do dislodge at first. I don't mind. I store with brisles upside down, resting on my toothpaste pot, and this probably helps bristles dry properly and hold bristles better. The wood handle is smooth, sanded and likely waxed. Very nice product. No obvious plastic that I can see/find anywhere. Read more

Great tooth brush at a good price the tapered handle is easier on the hand than the dowel shaped handle. Read more

I looked at these toothbrushes for months before pulling the trigger. I was so excited when I got them and they looked great. Unfortunately, I only lasted a few days. By the 3rd day I paid extra to have plastic toothbrushes overnighted to me because I couldn't STAND the feeling of the dry bamboo rubbing against my skin. Ugh I'm grossed out just thinking back on it. I normally close my lips around the plastic toothbrush and walk around while brushing my teeth. With the bamboo one I had to open my mouth wide while standing over the sink trying to avoid the unpleasant feeling of the wood touching my lips, but I still felt it. The bristles weren't that bad, though they get smashed up really quickly. They are softer than I'm used to but that could have worked for me. But now I'm stuck with 11 of these toothbrushes because I can never again have the feeling of that dry raw bamboo rubbing against my wet mouth. YUUUUUCK!!!! I'm sad to say I've returned to scraping plastic across my teeth. :( Read more

What's in the glue tho? Perfect bristle hardness, I absolutely love these. Why rub plastic into your gums when you could use these?? They only last a few weeks each. But gosh dang are they awesome while they last and they're not really expensive. I think they're absolutely worth the money. And if you need to, you can stretch how long they last. 6/5 imo Read more

In my search of a non-plastic toothbrush I landed on these. I was worried by some other reviews that the hairs maycome apart on this brush and that has definitely not been the case. These are GREAT. They are a 'softer' brush (especially in comparison to store-bought hard plastic brands), but I have found they really (like really) get your teeth super clean! I have had zero issues with this toothbrush (no hairs coming out the brush, etc). I will definitely be re-ordering these as they are a new staple in our house. I highly recommend if you are looking for a more non-tox toothbrush. Read more

These bamboo toothbrushes shed bristles. Not worth the money. Snow makes a better one. Read more

Remember to rinse the bristles for about a minute or so. Soaking helps them soften. They go from stiff to a pretty nice softness. A brush lasts somewhere between 30 and 60 days in my experience. Twice daily usage too it seems. Its a lot more bearable on some climate anxiety because of the lack of nylon, and it not being a charcoal brush means not worrying about research on its abrasive properties making me regret usage As a byproduct of an existing industry, idk maybe for you it matters a brush isnt vegan, but I'll take this over more plastic waste As a bamboo product it does splinter. None have been too terrible or anything. I dont think Ive gotten any from it, just noticed how the wood degrades over time. Read more

I wanted to like this non-plastic option, but unfortunately the bristles get too weak after about a week. They just smoosh up against my teeth and miss all the nooks and crannies. I guess I could use a new one every month or so. But I feel it’d be more sustainable and better for my teeth to just use a quality, durable plastic brush. I do hate plastic though. Read more
