QUICK ANSWERS
The questions we get most.
How firm are the bristles? Boar or horse?
Boar is medium-firm for a thorough, scrubby clean, best if you like a proper scrub and have healthy gums. Horse is softer and gentler, best for sensitive gums or recession. Your starter pack includes both, so you try each and only ever refill the one you prefer.
Where do I get replacement heads?
Right here, anytime. Heads come in a 5-pack, boar or horse, and every head fits every Toxin Dodger handle. Once you've got the handle, you only ever buy the head again.
Will it go mouldy?
The handle is solid aluminium, so it can't. The head has only a small bamboo neck, steam-carbonised to strip out the sugars mould feeds on, and it dries fast standing in the ceramic holder. Far less material than a whole bamboo brush, and far less to think about.
Are they really plastic-free (and are they vegan)?
Yes, genuinely. The bristles are natural boar or horse hair, not nylon and not "plant-based" plastic (castor-oil bristles are just Nylon 1010 in disguise). That does mean they aren't vegan, and we're upfront about it. The hair is a food-industry byproduct that would otherwise be waste, sterilised and repurposed. The only alternative to animal hair is more plastic in your mouth.
How are the bristles sourced & sterilised?
How we source: we work closely with suppliers to ethically source our bristles in the same way hair brush manufacturers do.
Some hairs are taken from the animals during their upbringing, but most are up-cycled from animals already processed for food.
No animals are harmed specifically for bristles; it's a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste.
Is it perfect? No.
But here's what we're facing: it's the only truly plastic-free toothbrush option available.
Every plastic brush you use sheds microplastics into oceans, poisoning marine life and entering our food chain. Hundreds of millions end up in landfills annually, leaching toxins for centuries.
We're not contributing to animal agriculture – we're repurposing waste that already exists.
Until the world stops eating meat, there will be a surplus of boar hair.
We believe using it is better than creating more plastic pollution that harms countless animals and ecosystems.
How we sterilise: Our natural bristles are treated using a strict, multi-stage high-temperature sterilisation process.
The bristles are thoroughly steam sterilised at 100°C for 6 hours, and then UV light sanitized.
This strict thermal cleaning removes all biological matter, guaranteeing the bristles are completely sterile, hygienic, and odourless for safe use.
How long does each head last?
Replace the head every 6 to 12 weeks, or sooner if the bristles start to splay. Swap the head, keep the handle.

TOXIN DODGER IN THE WILD
25,000+ Aussies have stopped scrubbing with plastic.
Twice a day, for a lifetime, plastic touches your gums.
A standard nylon toothbrush sheds nano-scale plastic fibres every time it flexes against enamel. You don't see them. They don't have a taste. They go where saliva goes, which is everywhere.
The brush gets replaced every few months. The shed plastic doesn't.
Switch to a natural bristle and you remove the source. No nylon in your mouth, no nylon in the bin, no nylon in your bloodstream.
How it works
Brush Without Plastic. Swap the head. Keep the handle.
Screw the plastic-free head onto the handle
Brush (without eating microplastics)
Replace the head (every 6-12 weeks)
Not all eco-toothbrushes are what they say they are
Three bristle types, one without plastic in your mouth.
Two Bristle Types (your starter pack has both)
You don't have to choose at checkout. Start with both heads, keep the one your gums prefer, then refill that one.
Boar bristle.
Coarser, springy, holds its shape. Closest feel to a medium-strong nylon brush. Best for a proper, plaque-led scrub.
you brush before bed and want to feel the clean, you currently use a medium-firm nylon brush, or you've never had recession.
Horse bristle.
Finer, more flexible, gentler on the gum line. Closest feel to a medium-soft nylon brush. Best for sensitive routines.
your dentist has flagged recession, you bleed when flossing, or you've always reached for soft-bristled brushes.
I have found since using these toothbrushes I had found my gums are less sensitive and so are my teeth. Really glad I purchased them for the whole family. My one request is to know more about the sourcing of the bristles… are they from organically feed animals or not and what glue is used to secure them in the brush head. Thank you.
It’s a nice toothbrush
Only 4 at this stage. I have only tried the hard brush and it is way ways to hard.
Hopefully the other one will be better.
Absolutely love my toothbrush. I love everything about the design. The ceramic holder is well thought and useful. Will definitely be repurchasing. So happy I’ve found something that works and ticks all the boxes. Thank you!
You describe the horse hair brush as softer…. I’m not sure I agree having now tried both. I think perhaps ’finer’ rather than softer and my preference. Love them.
Love the toothbrush! Much better to have an alloy handle that doesn't get all mouldy. The natural bristles feel a bit strange at first, but now I much prefer them to the plastic ones. It actually feels like it's removing more stuff from my teeth.

Great gpod product - happy with it so far
Fantastic toothbrush, highly recommend!
I absolutely love this toothbrush. It feels just as good, if not better, than a conventional toothbrush. After a few uses, the bristles settled in really nicely and it has become my go to. The replaceable heads are another fantastic feature, making it both practical and environmentally friendly.
I'm all for products that benefit both my health and the environment, and this toothbrush ticks both boxes. It's great to see a product that doesn't compromise on quality while being a more sustainable alternative. Couldn't be happier with it. Highly recommend!
I use the gentle toothbrush head which is just right for me.
Got one each for myself and my husband and we absolutely love them ! So much nicer on your teeth then the plastic ones you get from the shop plus the metal handle is a game changer with it being bamboo
Love these products, great quality and feel far more effective than using a plastic toothbrush. I will never be going back to plastic toothbrushs!
Love it! So affordable for such good quality and an easy swap out of no plastic!! Would definitely recommend to all!
Bloody great product!
The natural fibre feels great on the teeth. I can only recommend it.
Love this such an easy sustainable swap and I love the ceramic stand!
This toothbrush is amazing and exceeded my expectations. The boar hair head is great for those who love the firmer brush. The handle is amazing and works well in the bathroom. Fantastic product would definitely recommend: )
I have been using the bamboo horse hair toothbrush for some time now but these are a great step up!! Luv how they feel and the cool little ceramic stand.
Very happy with our starter pack. Going strong now for 2 months!
Great toothbrush!
Fantastic product and I love that its natural. My kids love them also
Love the metal handle and low waste brush heads, love the feel of both bristle types (esp knowing I’m not consuming plastic), I vary them so I can ensure a good clean but not always intense for my gums. Bought a starter pack for my daughter as well and she is loving this too.
I think they’re a fantastic product. Felt a bit weird at first only being used to plastic bristles but I love them
Has described and it's best to have something that's not toxic in your mouth then it's toxic
I am happy with the natural bristle starter pack but I prefer the feel of the bamboo handle brushes.
This is the best toothbrush I have ever used. 0 microplastics
Love using it, really noticed the difference in my gums & gentle on teeth. In general oral care just feels better not as harsh as my electric tooth brush
Great product.
Banger
At first I was a lil sceptical, I put it in my mouth and it was a lil smell like wet horse and im not gonna liee it made me gag the first two times I used it , but then I kept using it cause I care about being plastic and tox free and my health, I actually enjoy the toothbrush now its great and the kids like them too ✨️
So, Product is good. First time using anything but a plastic toothbrush, so the feeling of getting splinters from the bamboo is still weird. Might be an opportunity to up your bamboo quality?
But,
Your Packaging sucks. The outer box, style, look and feel was fantastic. The internal insert though? it did nothing. The contents of the pack was flying around loose in the box and stuck underneath. nothing was broken thankfully but it didn't hold anything in place whatsoever. That's all my feedback so far.
Very happy with this purchase
We were done being lied to. So we made the products we wish existed.
We were pregnant with our first when we fell down the rabbit hole. Reading the studies on microplastics. Watching how much chronic disease was around us, in family, in friends. The saying stuck with us: genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger. And our environment was full of plastic and chemicals nobody asked for.
So we tried to clean up. Going low-tox meant ten different shops, ten different brands, and a wall of greenwashing from the plant-based industry. Exhausting.
So we made the swaps we wanted for ourselves. Then for friends. Then for their friends. That's how Toxin Dodger was born. We made it easier to keep this stuff out of your body, because we wanted it out of ours.
Everything else.

Are they vegan?+
No. The bristles are natural animal hair, a byproduct of the food industry. We're honest about this. The only alternative is plastic, which sheds microplastics into your mouth. We chose the option that doesn't.
Can my kids use these?+
Yes. The horse (soft) head suits most. We also make a dedicated kids brush with a shorter handle.
Can I buy just heads, or just a handle?+
Yes. Once you have a handle you only ever buy refill heads. Spare handles are available too.
Will future heads still fit this handle?+
Yes. The thread is standard across the range. The handle you buy today fits the heads we sell for years.
What is the handle made of?+
Solid aluminium. No plastic to shed microplastics, no bamboo to mould. Built to last for years.
How do I dispose of a worn head?+
Pull the bristles, compost the small bamboo neck. Far less to throw away than a whole brush.
Shipping and delivery+
Free shipping Australia-wide over $75. Ships from Australia within 1 business day, delivered by AusPost in 2 to 8 business days.
What's in the starter pack?+
An aluminium handle, one boar head, one horse head, and a ceramic holder, in a recyclable box.
