Basic design, but effective; great for house guests [SEP] This is a pretty basic toothbrush. It lacks the features found on more expensive toothbrushes, such as sculpted bristle patterns, but it performs just fine. The bristles are a medium/soft density which works well for me -- firm enough for good cleaning but soft enough that it doesn't cause any gum irritation. The handles are also pretty basic but the bamboo makes them more grippy than the basic plastic brushes.<br /><br />The bristles are all firmly attached. None have come loose after a good amount of use. I can't say the charcoal infused bristles do anything beyond what a regular bristle does, but they look nice.<br /><br />Each comes individually packed and includes a tiny tube of toothpaste. It's a great item to have on hand for situations such as house guests who forget to bring a brush, for traveling, to stow in your desk at work, etc.<br /><br />No complaints. They work well, and I'm glad that it's a way to use/discard less plastic waste.
