Are Boar Bristles Right For Your Family?

If you’re looking to avoid plastics, boar bristles are one of the most natural toothbrush bristle options available.

Unlike nylon or “plant-based” nylon bristles, these contain no plastic.

Please note - they are NOT as soft as nylon bristles. If you have sensitive teeth or gums we recommend you try one before ordering in bulk. They offer a medium-FIRM brushing feel and leave teeth feeling wonderfully clean.

For sensitive teeth or gums, simply soak in warm water briefly before brushing to soften the bristles. You'll also find the bristles naturally soften over time with use.

Care Instructions

Because natural bristles are more absorbent than nylon, they perform best when cared for properly:

• Rinse thoroughly after use
• Shake off excess water
• Store upright in a dry, airy place
• Sunlight can help naturally freshen bristles
• Replace every 5–8 weeks or sooner if worn

End of Life

When finished, compost, bury, or reuse the handle as:

• Garden row marker
• Home cleaning brush
• Craft or upcycling project

• 100% plastic-free toothbrush

Honest Sourcing & Sterilisation

We believe customers deserve honesty about what they’re buying.

Our natural boar bristles are sourced from pigs already processed within the food industry. They are not harvested from live animals, nor are animals raised or harmed solely for their bristles. Instead, the bristles are collected as a secondary natural fibre that would otherwise go to waste.

This toothbrush won’t be the right choice for everyone, but many customers choose it as a plastic-free alternative to nylon bristles.

The bristles are thoroughly cleaned, sterilised, and straightened using high-temperature water processing, with no added chemical treatments.

Natural variation in colour is completely normal and reflects their untreated origin.
