Biodegradable toothbrushes?

[Darth Indiana]

I found one of these in my dad's bathroom while helping him move, and i think it's a great idea. if you have to throw it away, at least make it out of something that won't take million years to disappear.
Now, where can i get these things? Preferably in bulk.

Just a quick google search came up with:
http://www.amazon.com/KAPPA-BIODEGRADABLE-TOOTHBRUSH-NATURAL-BRISTLES/dp/B002CSSX5M

good luck finding bulk

yeah, i found that too, but that seems pricey for a plain ole toothbrush, even if it is environmentally friendly. and i prefer to buy volume when ordering disposable products online.

I would write the manufacturer or the Amazon seller and ask their terms.

I reviewed two "green" toothbrushes on my site. One is made of recycled wood pulp and the other of recycled plastic.

You might have trouble finding bulk.

I've used the Recycline toothbrushes before and they work well. Apparently they're made from recycled yogurt containers.

are those boar bristles? i read a thread the other day about how they can harbor bacteria and need to be changed almost as often as a normal toothbrush. at that pricepoint, i would hope i don't need to buy a new one every few months.


can anyone verify this for me?

Soak in hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes after brushing. Problem solved.

I've been recommended by medical professionals to soak my normal toothbrushes in hydrogen peroxide every single day. Not once a week, every day. Yes, that's the nylon ones with the bristles that eventually degrade and become useless, unlike durable boar that just needs to be cleaned.

Come on, you sterilize your shaving brushes once in a while don't you?
