Now The Turtle Tribe goes one step further, pairing naturally soft horse hair bristles with a MOSO bamboo handle to get the plastic out of the whole toothbrush. And because going plastic-free shouldn't mean settling for an average toothbrush, years have gone into improving the design, from the smaller dentist-designed head to the smooth, double-polished bamboo handle.

The MOSO bamboo handle and natural horse hair bristles contain no plastic, and the packaging is plastic-free too.

We pair them with a MOSO bamboo handle, so there's no plastic in either the handle or the part doing the brushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do horse hair bristles feel like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural horse hair bristles have a medium-soft brushing feel, making them a great choice for people who prefer a gentler toothbrush. They also soften naturally with use. Prefer them a little softer? Simply soak the bristles briefly in warm water before brushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo natural horse hair bristles clean properly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. We've spent years improving our bamboo toothbrushes so choosing natural materials doesn't mean compromising on the brushing experience. The smaller head was developed with a holistic dentist to make it easier to move around your mouth and reach your back teeth, while the ergonomic grip and slightly angled head help you brush comfortably and thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are the bristles cleaned and sanitised?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur natural horse hair bristles undergo thorough cleaning and sanitisation using steam and hydrogen peroxide to remove impurities. Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in food processing and hygiene applications because it breaks down into water and oxygen. The bristles are then dried and prepared for use in our toothbrushes. They retain their natural colour, so slight variations in shade are completely normal and reflect their natural origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do the horse hair bristles come from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur horse hair bristles are collected from living horses during routine grooming and tail trimming. The hair naturally grows back, so no horses are killed for their bristles. This makes horse hair an appealing natural alternative for people who want to avoid plastic bristles without using hair sourced from slaughtered animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between horse hair and boar bristles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth are natural, plastic-free alternatives to nylon. Horse hair offers a softer, gentler brushing feel and is collected from living horses during grooming. Boar bristles are naturally firmer and are sourced as a by-product of the meat industry. Both are paired with our carefully designed bamboo handles for a great plastic-free brushing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre horse hair bristle toothbrushes vegan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Horse hair bristles are animal-derived. If you prefer a vegan option, we also make bamboo toothbrushes with plant-based nylon bristles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I replace my toothbrush?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend replacing your horse hair bristle bamboo toothbrush every 5–8 weeks, or sooner if the bristles look worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural bristles can occasionally shed or break during brushing due to variations in hair thickness. Minor shedding is normal, but excessive shedding isn't.
