Bamboo Switch — 100% Compostable Bamboo Toothbrush

A toothbrush you can compost, handle and bristles both.

Most bamboo toothbrushes have a plant handle and nylon bristles, so you still have to snap the head off before composting. This one is different. The bristles are made from castor bean oil, a plant-based bioplastic, so the entire brush breaks down. The handle is sustainably sourced bamboo, naturally water resistant and smooth in the hand. Bristle feel is soft to medium, gentle on gums.

You will replace it every few months like any brush, so it matters that each one leaves nothing behind.

Who this is for

• You have already switched to natural toothpaste or tooth tablets and want the brush to match
• You are trying to get plastic out of the bathroom
• Sensitive gums that do not like stiff bristles
• You want something that looks good in a cup on the sink

How to use

• Pea-sized amount of paste or one tooth tablet, brush gently in circles
• Rinse well and stand upright to air dry
• Replace every 2 to 3 months or as your dentist recommends
• 7.5 inches long. Recycled paper box, no tape or glue
