Good to know before you buy

  • Fragrance-free bar: ‘Unscented’ can include a masking fragrance, so look for ‘fragrance-free’.
  • Bamboo toothbrush, natural bristles: Boar bristles are firmer than soft nylon and aren’t vegan; soak the head in warm water before you first use it. Dentists generally recommend soft bristles; ask your dentist. If you need soft bristles, a bamboo brush with nylon bristles is the next best thing.
  • Silk floss: Silk is softer than nylon and can fray between tight teeth, so guide it gently. It isn’t vegan. Makers’ ‘PFAS-free’ claims aren’t independently tested.
  • Natural loofah: Dry it outside the shower and replace it every 3–4 weeks.
