Hey friend, went through this myself recently! Here's a place that has bamboo toothbrushes with castor oil bristles. It was my first time trying either material, and the strength of the bristles really surprised me! You can get pretty rough with them and they won't bend out of shape like nylon does (although they're very easy to dye if you brush too soon after eating! ๐ )
I think the handles are a great shape and very water resistant. Although to be honest, when time comes to replace mine, I'll be looking for one that has a better overall "bristle shape" (unsure what to call it) because it's really hard to completely brush my molars because of my gums shape back there. Will look for one that points outward at the end to reach back there properly. But these are a great start imo!
(edit: Sorry, realized after that this is for buyeuropean. I have no idea where these are manufactured currently, but I have no alternative suggestions atm)
One of the co-founders is German, but it seems the company itself is American.
Yeah, I didn't realize where this was posted, but edited my comment to reflect that. Thanks for digging into that!
Fuck large US American businesses sure, but why fuck the small independent ones?
Lmao because fuck paying a 20% tarrif?
Well, I didn't say fuck small independent businesses... It's just that we're in the Buy European comm, which is about European goods and services... And American is not European...
That being said, the goal of the Buy European movement, in general, isn't to screw over American businesses of any size, but to strengthen and support European businesses. If you're buying from the US, consider buying from Europe instead. That's how that goes.
Ah, I missed the sub name. Fair enough, carry on
It's not just "buy EU because fuck the American corpos" but also "buy EU to stimulate the local economy and end the reliance on US"
