A genuinely plastic-free toothbrush, right down to the bristles.

Most bamboo toothbrushes replace the plastic handle but still use nylon bristles. Now The Turtle Tribe goes one step further, pairing natural boar 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. It’s one simple swap that gets unnecessary plastic out of something you put in your mouth twice a day.

✓ 100% Plastic-Free: MOSO bamboo handle, natural boar bristles and plastic-free packaging.
✓ Natural Boar Bristles: No nylon or “plant-based” plastic hiding in the part that actually brushes your teeth.
✓ Dentist-Designed Smaller Head: Easier to move around your mouth and reach those harder-to-reach back teeth.
✓ Smooth Double-Polished Handle: Carefully finished bamboo for a smooth, comfortable feel in your hand and mouth.
✓ Designed for a Proper Clean: Ergonomic grip, slightly angled head and medium-firm natural bristles.
✓ No Glue: Bristles are secured with tiny metal staples rather than adhesives.
✓ Family-run Aussie brand you can trust: Founded in 2018 by an inspiring Aussie teen on a mission to save the oceans from plastic pollution.
✓ Profit with Purpose: As proud 1% for the Planet members, a portion of every sale funds beach cleans around Australia.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this toothbrush really 100% plastic-free, including the bristles?
Yes. The MOSO bamboo handle and natural boar bristles contain no plastic, and the packaging is plastic-free too. Unlike most bamboo toothbrushes, there are no nylon bristles hiding in the part that actually does the brushing.

What is a boar-bristle toothbrush?
A boar-bristle toothbrush uses natural animal-hair bristles instead of synthetic nylon. Turtle Tribe pairs them with a MOSO bamboo handle, so there’s no plastic in either the handle or the part doing the brushing.

What do boar bristles feel like?
Natural boar bristles have a medium-firm brushing feel and soften naturally somewhat with use. Prefer them a little softer? Simply soak the bristles briefly in warm water before brushing.

Do natural boar bristles clean properly?
Yes. Turtle Tribe spent years improving its 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.

Are the bristles cleaned and sterilised?
Yes. The natural boar bristles are thoroughly cleaned and sterilised before use. Natural variation in colour is completely normal and reflects their natural origin.

Where do the boar bristles come from?
The bristles are collected as a secondary natural fibre from pigs already processed within the food industry. Animals aren’t raised specifically for their bristles.

What if I prefer a softer toothbrush?
Turtle Tribe also makes a natural horse-hair bamboo toothbrush for customers who prefer a naturally softer brushing feel.

Are boar-bristle toothbrushes vegan?
No. Boar bristles are animal-derived. If you prefer a vegan option, Turtle Tribe also makes bamboo toothbrushes with nylon bristles.

How often should I replace my toothbrush?
We recommend replacing your boar-bristle toothbrush every 5–8 weeks, or sooner if the bristles look worn.

USAGE

To keep your natural-bristle toothbrush fresh and in great condition:

Rinse thoroughly after brushing
Shake off excess water
Store upright in a dry, airy place
Avoid leaving it standing in a wet cup
For a softer feel, briefly soak the bristles in warm water before brushing
Replace every 5–8 weeks, or sooner if the bristles look worn

If you’re storing unused brushes for longer periods, keep them away from heat and moisture in an airtight container.
