Bamboo Switch — 100% Compostable Kids Toothbrush

A kid-sized toothbrush that composts, bristles and all.

Kids go through toothbrushes fast, so the plastic adds up. This one has a short bamboo handle sized for small hands and soft bristles made from castor bean oil, a plant-based material, so the whole brush can go in the compost when it is done. The small head fits a child's mouth and the soft bristles are easy on new teeth and gums.

The box is recycled paper folded together with no tape or glue.

Who this is for

• Kids roughly 3 to 10 who are brushing on their own
• Families cutting plastic out of the bathroom
• Parents using fluoride-free paste or tooth tablets and wanting a matching brush
• A stocking stuffer that is not candy

How to use

• Pea-sized amount of paste, gentle circles, twice a day
• Rinse and stand upright to air dry
• Replace every 2 to 3 months or as your dentist recommends
• 6 inches long. Bamboo handle, castor bean oil bristles
