Humble Brush Toothbrush

Dental care is not often something we feature on the blog but we saw these and thought they were such a good idea and all for a great cause.
 The Humble brush is a bamboo toothbrush with various coloured nylon bristles. 
 With landfill sites in the UK at maximum capacity and the standard plastic toothbrushes contributing to this increasing problem it's a great idea to switch to an alternative. 

 The handle is made from 100% biodegradable bamboo which is lightweight and non slip. It also looks so much nicer than the plastic variety! Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and is naturally antibacterial.
 The bristles are available in the five colours shown above and in two firmness options of soft for adults and ultra soft for children.

 

 The bristles are made from nylon which will also degrade over time and the outer packaging is a biodegradable wrapper and box made from 100% recycled materials.
 What we also loved was that for each toothbrush sold, Humble will donate the equivalent price of one toothbrush to people in need of oral care. The Humble Smile Foundation is a dental charity which travels the world educating and helping people in less fortunate areas with dental care.
 When you have finished with your Humble toothbrush you can bury it in the garden where it will biodegrade. Another good use is to stick it next to the herbs in your garden (bristle end down) and write the name of the herb on the handle instead of using those plastic garden sticks.
 Each toothbrush is £3.99 with free shipping and is available from http://www.humblebrush.co.uk
