A Beautiful Set of Bamboo Toothbrushes

This bamboo toothbrush is sold in a set of four (different colours) to share as a family, or to last a year (changing every 3 months). At end of use, remove bristles with pliers, and compost the handle.

Billions of plastic toothbrushes end up on landfills, as dentists ask us to change brushes every 3 months. Most reusable toothbrushes have nylon bristles, so at end of use, just remove them with pliers and bin (then compost or recycle handles).

Read our dental care posts (widely used to sweeten toothpaste, floss and gum, never use xylitol brands near pets – licking leftovers from around your mouth or sink could be fatal). 

Bamboo is the world’s fastest-growing grass. It’s not local but grows so fast, that new grass grows back after harvesting (unlike trees that take decades to grow). Industrial bamboo is not the same as fresh shoots, eaten by wild pandas.

The only caveat is not to store it in a tumbler of water. Or else it will biodegrade away!

The child’s version has soft bristles, sold in blue or red. Parents can feel proud knowing their family uses a toothbrush that’s safe, fun and caring for the earth.
