If you don't use electric toothbrushes, or prefer something lightweight for travel, then these bamboo manual toothbrushes are a great plastic free oral hygiene companion. Each pack comes with individual bamboo toothbrushes packaged in cardboard boxes. The toothbrush itself is biodegradable with the exception of the charcoal nylon bristles which should be removed first. Note: we recommend wetting the head of the toothbrush first to create a more enjoyable brushing experience. Like many of our products, this item arrives with minimal pre-packaging (e.g., just the simple individual cardboard boxes with informative text in black ink) to reduce material waste for a more sustainable supply chain. We use paper and cardboard packaging and dunnage to ensure it is shipped safely. Not using plastic packaging and minimal usage of other biodegradable / recyclable packaging is a key part of our mission as a brand of sustainable personal care and home products.
