Brush with Bamboo
Every single plastic toothbrush, since production first began in the 1930’s, still exists in a landfill or ocean today (that’s over 4.7 billion brushes!) Shocked? So was the Kumar family, founders of Brush with Bamboo. They decided to take matters into their own hands and create a toothbrush that composts in nature, instead of polluting it!
Their signature toothbrush, made from sustainably grown 100% Certified Organic Wild Moso bamboo, features plant-based bio-bristles from Castor Bean oil and compostable packaging derived from vegetable cellophane. The brush handle is commercially compostable, as is their bamboo straws. Plus all their products are vegan, cruelty-free, BPA-free, and without toxins. How could it get better than that?
The days of your toothbrushes living longer than you do are in the past. With Brush with Bamboo, you are saying no to plastic pollution and yes to sustainable solutions! Together, we can keep our teeth clean and the environment even cleaner by switching over to eco-friendly alternatives like Brush with Bamboo.

This is such a great replacement for traditional plastic toothbrushes. The wood is super smooth, I’ve never had problems with splinters, and I love how they are constantly looking to improve their sustainability with the bristles. The only reason I gave this four stars is because when the toothbrush gets towards the end of its life the bristles will start to get unruly and tangle in each other, but it’s usually just a couple and nothing too concerning or annoying.

I’ve been using my toothbrush for…a little longer than experts suggest (but doesn’t everyone?😬) I haven’t noticed any wood taste, lost any bristles, or had any issues with the handle itself (splintering or breaking). It’s just as sturdy as any brush I’ve had before. Once it’s time to swap my brush out, I plan to use the old one as a plant marker in my garden! 🙂

Love this brush. I don’t worry about the bristles bending and needing to replace the brush sooner than what my dentists recommends. I don’t brush extremely agressively, but apply a good amount of pressure. Have had multiples of this over the years, and it’s never let me down.

This toothbrush is great! It’s my second one. It doesn’t wear out very quickly and does exactly as well as a plastic one. No complaints

This is my second bamboo brush from Earth Hero to replace the initial one I change often. I love the bristles which I feel are more sturdier than those of conventional brushes. I’ll use the old brush for my eyebrows (which are a semi monobrow at this point) and when done, happy to do my part by composting them.

This is my first time trying a bamboo toothbrush and I was thrilled. The first time I used it, the bristle was more on the stiff side, maybe it’s because it’s new or I use soft bristles previously. I didn’t get splinters and the bristles are holding up nicely still. When I use my charcoal toothpaste, it stains the bamboo grey. None the less, I will continue to use bamboo toothbrushes.

I was surprised how efficiently this toothbrush works. It does the job and I don’t have to be concerned with more horrible plastic. It is my new ‘go to’ toothbrush and I will probably buy some to use as stocking stuffers this Christmas for my co-workers.

I liked how it was a sustainable tooth brush option, yet didn’t cost more than a normal toothbrush. Works just as good as any other toothbrush, yet better for the environment!

I love bamboo toothbrushes, and this one is great! The bristles are a little more stiff than i would like and the brush part is a bit bigger than what I’d prefer but overall it’s not too bad! A great alternative to plastic toothbrushes!

I love this toothbrush and do not foresee myself going back to using plastic toothbrushes. There are a few frayed bristles, but I feel that it is to be expected over time and may differ from person to person.
I persuaded my grandmother to switch to this bamboo toothbrush, and she loves it as well! I have already purchased another for when my current toothbrush needs replacing. Using this toothbrush makes you feel like you are one step closer to being an EarthHero.

Perfect! My mouth is on the smaller side and this tooth brush is just a tad on the big side for me. Mainly I have a hard time reaching my wisdom teeth but it is possible. I still love it and will continue to use it! Maybe look into the children sizes next time.

This does a perfect job at keeping my teeth clean without the guilt of plastic toothbrushes. Was so excited to find bio based bristles too! Would much rather support Earth Hero and Brush with Bamboo than buy from some drop ship company on Amazon.

This is such an easy switch for anyone trying to reduce their plastic waste. No problems at all. Just a note that you can’t compost the bristles but I really love that the handle is compostable!

kschmidt27 (verified owner) –
For me it was just too large. The feel & taste of the wood made me gag when trying to brush my back teeth so if you are sensitive to that this isn’t the brush for you. A kids size may have worked better. Also on my package the bristles are made in Germany & the handle in China, so it was only designed in California not actually made here as advertised in the description.

Hi there! Thank you for your review- Brush With Bamboo just updated their bristles to being 100% biobased (woohoo!) and made in Germany- we are currently updating the description to reflect these changes 🙂

I don’t have the biggest of mouths, but it’s definitely not the smallest. As far as mouths go I’d like to think it’s an average size. My boyfriend seems to like it just fine. So maybe men’s mouths are more suitable for this brush. But the head of the brush is so bulky, I can’t seem to reach my back molars. Might try a kids brush next time.

This is my first bamboo toothbrush and it works great. No problems. The bristles are more firm than I’m used to. Next time I’ll look for softer bristles.

Dawn Mattice (verified owner) –
I really like my new bamboo toothbrush. The only complaint I have about it is that the bristles are softer than I am used to, so I worry that I need to brush longer or harder to obtain the same level of clean and get at plaque. I haven’t even noticed much of a wood taste. And I don’t think I’d mind it if I did.

Hi, Dawn! Thank you for your review! Often dentists will actually recommend soft bristles- keeping your teeth clean while avoiding over-brushing and gum damage! However, if you prefer slightly harder bristles, the bamboo toothbrushes we have from The Humble Co offer both a soft and a medium bristle strength 😀 I hope this helps!

How long does one toothbrush last if I brush twice a day?

Hi Nia!Great question. These toothbrushes should last about three months with regular twice-daily use (just as long as a plastic toothbrush, but with none of the plastic)! I love my bamboo toothbrush from Brush With Bamboo!

I love this brand and usually buy off of Amazon, but I love what earthhero does so I choose from now on to buy here. I just only wish there was a multipack! Bamboo toothbrushes are a little to get used to because they have a different taste to plastic, but the functionality is exactly the same! Everyone should Brush With Bamboo!

This was my first toothbrush when I was transitioning off of plastic ones. There is a very slight grab from the bamboo when brushing (similar to putting a popsicle stick in your mouth), but it’s something you can get used to. I normally need children’s toothbrushes because my mouth is small, but this brush works perfectly for me. Other than that, pretty standard for a toothbrush. I have always made sure to dry it after each use and it’s still in perfect condition.

Hi Alexis! Pliers are the best way to remove these part castor-bean oil, part nylon bristles.

The toothbrush itself is wonderful. Super lightweight, soft bristles, very sleek. But it came wrapped in plastic inside the cardboard box which partially defeats the purpose of shopping zero waste and buying a biodegradable toothbrush!

Hey Sarah – thanks for the review! No need to fret, the inner wrapper is made from 100% compostable, plant-based material, so it can be composted just like the cardboard box 🙂

Soft bristles and lightweight handle. The head is a little bigger than I’m used to, but I think it will actually encourage me to not brush too hard. I also love that all of the packaging is compostable. Happy to make another swap away from plastic in my life.
