Gaia Guy Natural Bristle Bamboo Toothbrush (NO Nylon - Boar Hair ONLY) - Totally Compostable & Biodegradable Boar Bristle and Bamboo Toothbrushes - Zero Waste - 6-Pack

June 2020:Pro: The handle is very comfortable The bristles are not soft, more hard/medium. Bristles get softer with time. Teeth feel well brushed.Con: The bristles shed and spread out early. It seems that the bristles won't last long.This is my first time using a Boar Bristles, so I'm not sure if this is normal.April: 2021:I have used all of the brushes. The pack lasted me 10 months. I changed the brush about every 2 months, instead of the plastic 3 month because the bristles do wear down more than the plastic alternative. This should be expected: it is made of hair, not plastic.Each new brush does shed during the first use, but considering that the product is biodegradable and prevents yet another plastic brush entering the landfill, it's worth a couple hairs in my mouth. Honestly, some brushes shed one hair and others shed four. It's a minor nuisance. I purchased another pack and plan to use them moving forward because they are good quality. As far as I know, this is the only toothbrush that is completely compostable.Note: I went to the dentist last month and was praised for my oral health. Prior to the boar brushed, I used a cheap electric toothbrush. I've always taken care of my teeth, but this was one of the few times I was complemented by a dental professional. These brushes paired with eco friendly floss have helped me maintain my oral health just as well (if not better) than plastic products.

I like these toothbrushes, they are "cool" because they haven't fell apart and they have softened up a bit. I think I've been using them about a month now. Only a few bristles fell out. Not anything to really mention but for what it's worth it no biggie. By not using plastic. It's a win win. Im excited about it, and I would like to gift this to some folks, but who knows if they understand about microplastics. I understand, and there's my review. Good stuff.

Congratulations! If you come across this review - it must mean that you are making a conscious effort towards a healthier life and I'm so happy for you!There are some pros and cons with this toothbrush so I'll give you a little bit of the things I have noticed, but overall - I'm very happy with my purchase.On the initial use, you will have some hairs coming off. Which I think is expected since it's real hair and not synthetic. BUT after the first use I have not noticed any more falling off.Second thing, the brush part of it is a little tiny. Not extraordinary tiny but could use a one/two rows or columns or one row and one column of extra bristles to make it the PERFECT brush. Other than that it brushes impeccably great.I'm not sure what your toothbrush preferences are and how you like certain things, but for me what I've noticed is that I've fallen in love with this toothbrush. Not only can I brush my teeth with it, use it to scrape my tongue, but I also noticed how much more of a peaceful mind I have now that I'm using real natural things instead of the synthetic plastics that leech into our blood streams. Making the decision to buy this brush has been a great experience for me and I hope it will be for you too.Lets make Natural Brushes the normal standard for toothbrushes and toss out those petroleum-made, plastic-made, toothbrushes that are unhealthy for you.

I liked this brush very surprised after reading other reviews. No stray bristles falling off not nearly as hard and uncomfortable as my sonicare bristles. Some bristles may feel slightly sharp at first with the brand new brush but its effective. The wood handle is smooth I didn't experience any discomfort with the wood rubbing my cheek. The bristles only splay and spread out if you press way too hard. Don't brush angry!

Really like these toothbrushes. Went through a whole pack and the bristles only came off of a few of them, and even then it didn't bother me, and was mostly in the first couple of uses. It's hard to remember not to press too hard, otherwise they get worn out and splayed faster, but I really like them. My teeth and gums seems healthier since using them and I love the idea that fewer microplastics are entering my system. At first, my gums bled a little with use (but are very sensitive) but now hardly bleed from anything (like flossing-- although I have also been flossing more), meaning they've gotten more resilient through the use of these. I hope they're biodegradable because I've been composting them

I think they are ecologically ok and do a good job on the teeth but bristles keep falling out which annoys the crap out of me.

great toothbrushit needs a little thining out.it is on a med - hard size. exactly what i need. it took me a while to get used to it though. nothing is perfect but this is the best I've seen 👍

I like how they feel! Holding it is very comfortable - it’s lightweight and easy to handle. The bristles aren’t too hard, but aren’t too soft either, they feel good on the gums and teeth. They’re also a good size, and make it easy to get hard to reach spots in the back too. Your mouth feels clean/good after use! I took one star off because the first time you brush your teeth with them, you can expect at least a few loose bristles to come off into your mouth. Besides that first time though, they stay in and feel great to brush with! You get a good price for how many you get - and they last a while before you need to replace it - in which you have several backups/new ones to use per order which is amazing! Overall, very pleased with these toothbrushes and am glad to no longer have to use synthetic bristles.
