Review

I’ve been making a conscious effort to reduce my plastic usage whenever possible, and one of the easiest swaps I’ve made is switching to a bamboo toothbrush. For quite some time now, Attitude’s bamboo toothbrush has been my go-to choice, and I’ve been really happy with its performance. Not only does it effectively clean my teeth, but it also feels great to use. The bamboo handle has a smooth, polished finish, making it comfortable to hold, and I appreciate that it’s naturally antibacterial. Plus, it comes in several colors, which is a fun touch and makes it easy to tell apart if multiple people in the household use them.

One of my favorite aspects of this toothbrush is the soft bristles. They’re gentle on my gums while still doing a great job at removing plaque and keeping my teeth feeling fresh and clean. However, I do wish there was a fully biodegradable alternative to the nylon bristles. While I understand that finding a plant-based option that is also durable and effective can be challenging, it would truly make this toothbrush 100% eco-friendly. Many bamboo toothbrushes on the market still rely on nylon for the bristles, but I’d love to see Attitude take the lead in offering a completely plastic-free option that remains Cruelty-Free and Vegan.

Since I strive to minimize waste, I make sure to dispose of my toothbrush in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Once it’s time to replace it, I simply toss the bamboo handle into a wood-burning stove rather than adding it to the trash. This way, I can ensure that no plastic ends up in landfills. If the bristles were compostable as well, it would be the perfect zero-waste solution.

Overall, I truly appreciate Attitude’s commitment to sustainability and the effort they’ve put into creating a more eco-conscious alternative to traditional plastic toothbrushes. I highly recommend this toothbrush to anyone looking to make small, meaningful changes toward a more sustainable lifestyle. I look forward to seeing what improvements Attitude makes in the future and hope to one day have a fully biodegradable, plant-based toothbrush.
