A Better Toothbrush Starts With What You Put in Your Mouth

Most toothbrushes are made with plastic.

Plastic handle.
Nylon bristles.
Replace it. Throw it away. Repeat.

We wanted something simpler.

Natural horsehair bristles. A bamboo handle. Nothing unnecessary.

Meet the Gaia Guy Horsehair Toothbrush

If you like a softer, gentler brushing feel, horsehair is worth trying.

Our horsehair bristles are naturally soft and flexible, making them noticeably gentler than our boar bristle brushes. They're naturally dark brown, unbleached and not dyed or color enhanced.

The handle is made from bamboo and shaped with a gentle wave that feels comfortable in your hand.

It's a toothbrush that feels familiar.

Just made differently.

Why horsehair?

Horsehair and boar bristles don't feel the same.

Horsehair is the softer option.

The bristles are naturally flexible and have a gentler feel against your teeth and gums. If conventional toothbrushes feel too stiff, or you simply prefer a softer brush, horsehair may be the better fit.

No Nylon. No Plastic Bristles.

Look closely at most toothbrushes and you'll find nylon bristles. Even the bamboo charcoal ones.

Ours are different.

Real horsehair instead of nylon.

We don't dye the bristles to make them look a certain way. Their natural dark brown color is part of the material itself.

A Handle You'll Actually Enjoy Holding

The super smooth bamboo handle has a comfortable wave shape designed to sit naturally in your hand.

No unnecessary gimmicks.

Just a straightforward, comfortable toothbrush made from a small number of thoughtfully chosen materials.

Six Brushes. One Simple Switch.

You get 6 individual horsehair bamboo toothbrushes in every pack.

Keep them at home as replacements, share them with your household, or simply buy once and have your next several toothbrushes ready to go.

One small change to your daily routine.

And a very different kind of toothbrush.
