★★★★☆
Great non-plastic alternative! Takes some getting used to though.
Eco-friendly people unite! These brushes are a perfect first step to cutting down on non-recyclable plastic. Even the box and the dyes in the box are biodegradable! The bristles are soft and seem to do a good job at getting all the plaque off of my teeth. Also these are super affordable for 4 of them!
Downsides are that the feeling of the bamboo takes some getting used to. It’s not the same smoothness you’re expecting with a plastic toothbrush. Another one is that the bamboo sometimes has ‘splinters’ where a little bit of the wood sticks up due to it swelling. This can be kind of uncomfortable but if you find the splitter and tear it off/sand it down with a nail file you should be fine.
