About the brush
Natural bristles, no nylon.
A natural boar bristle toothbrush on a bamboo handle. No nylon bristles, just real boar hair set in a round, tapered bamboo handle that stands upright on the sink to dry. Prefer something softer? Choose horse hair instead.
Boar bristle or horse hair?
- Boar bristle (light bristles): a firmer, medium feel. A good pick if you're used to a medium nylon brush and want the closest match.
- Horse hair (dark bristles): softer and gentler on gums. A good pick if you normally use a soft brush.
Not sure? The 4-pack lets you try both. Read the full boar vs horse hair comparison.
Why people switch to a boar bristle toothbrush
- No nylon in the bristles. Most toothbrush bristles are nylon, a type of plastic. These are natural animal hair.
- Bamboo handle instead of a plastic one.
- Stands upright on its wide base, so it dries properly between brushes.

Good to know
- Not vegan. Boar bristle and horse hair are animal hair.
- Natural bristles feel different. They soften slightly once wet, so give it a few days to get used to.
Caring for your bamboo brush
Bamboo and natural bristles are natural materials, so they need to dry between uses.
- Rinse well after brushing and shake off excess water.
- Stand it upright on its base, or in a holder, somewhere with airflow.
- Don't leave it lying in water, in a closed cup, or in a sealed travel case while wet.
- Replace your brush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles splay. Dentists recommend this for any toothbrush.
- Some darkening of the bamboo over time is normal and doesn't affect how it works.

Questions
Boar bristle or horse hair: which should I choose?
Boar bristle is firmer, a medium feel close to a medium nylon brush. Horse hair is softer and suits sensitive gums. Not sure? A 4-pack lets you try both. Read the full comparison.
How long does delivery take?
We ship to anywhere in Australia, and orders usually arrive within 7 to 14 business days, with tracking by email. Shipping is free on orders over $50.
Will bamboo go mouldy?
Bamboo is a natural material, so like any wooden item it can grow mould if it stays wet. Letting it dry upright in open air between uses and replacing it every 3 months keeps it fresh.
Are the brushes vegan?
No. Boar and horse hair are animal fibres. We don't currently offer a vegan bristle.
Can I return a brush if I change my mind?
Toothbrushes are personal hygiene products, so we don't accept change-of-mind returns or exchanges. If your brush arrives faulty or damaged, you're covered under Australian Consumer Law. See our returns page.
