A different kind of toothbrush
You replace your toothbrush every three months. So does everyone. Multiply that by a lifetime and you’ve thrown away around 300 plastic brushes, each one taking 400+ years to decompose. We thought there had to be a better way to design something you use twice a day for the rest of your life.
So we built one.
What we made
A stainless steel handle that lasts decades. A bamboo head with soft Tynex RS bristles that clicks on in five seconds and gets replaced every three months. Same brushing experience. About 97% less plastic.
The handle is the part you keep. AISI 304 stainless steel, the same grade used in commercial kitchens and dental instruments. Finished with an electrophoresis coating that won’t chip or peel. Satin texture that doesn’t show fingerprints. Dishwasher safe. Rust-resistant. The logo is laser-engraved, not printed. The kind of object that earns a spot on your bathroom counter instead of getting hidden in a drawer.
The head is the part you replace. A natural Mao bamboo body with a water-based clear coating. The bristles are Tynex RS 1010, a high-performance nylon partially derived from castor oil, made by the same supplier most dental-recommended brushes use. Soft, densely packed, with tapered tips designed for sensitive gums. Swap it out every three months.
Why a stainless steel handle
Most “eco” toothbrushes on the market are full bamboo. The math seems good on paper. But bamboo handles go mushy in a humid bathroom within one to three months. They splinter. They harbor mold. And after all that, you’re still throwing the whole thing away every few months.
We wanted something that worked the way good objects work. Permanent where it should be permanent. Replaceable only where it has to be. So we use bamboo where bamboo makes sense (the small, replaceable head) and steel where it actually pays off (the handle you keep for life). The system Here’s how Eco Headies actually works.
You buy one handle. That’s the upfront purchase, and it’s the last toothbrush handle you’ll ever buy. After that, you only replace the head every three months. Refill heads cost a fraction of what a comparable dental-quality toothbrush costs, because you’re not paying for a new handle every time. Better brush, lower long-run cost, less waste
The lifetime handle warranty
The handle is backed by a lifetime warranty. Defects in manufacturing, normal wear, anything that affects how the handle works, we replace it.
The process is intentionally simple. Send us a photo of the issue and we’ll ship a new handle along with your next refill order. No forms to fill out, no return shipping, no proof of purchase beyond your customer account. You bought it once; you shouldn’t have to buy it again. The warranty stays valid for as long as you’re a customer. The only thing we ask is that the replacement goes out with a refill order, which keeps shipping costs low and lets us keep the warranty generous.
The math, per toothbrush
A standard plastic toothbrush weighs about 14 grams of plastic. Replaced four times a year, every year, for life, around 80 brushes over a 20-year window. That’s about 1.1 kilograms of plastic per person, sitting in a landfill for 400+ years.
An Eco Headies head is mostly bamboo. The only synthetic component is the bristles, weighing under half a gram each. Over the same 20 years, that’s about 32 grams of synthetic material per person, partially derived from castor oil. The handle is stainless steel: zero plastic, kept for decades.
Roughly 97% less plastic than disposable brushing. The methodology is public. The numbers are above.
What we don’t claim
The bristles are not fully biodegradable. They’re Tynex RS, which contains castor oil-derived content alongside conventional nylon. We could have used cheaper, fully petroleum-based bristles. We could have called the brush “100% natural” with plant-based bristles that don’t actually clean well. We chose neither. We picked the bristle that performs the way a good toothbrush should perform, with as much renewable content as we could find without compromising on how it brushes.
We’re not zero waste. We don’t claim to save the planet. We made a toothbrush that uses 97% less plastic, lasts decades longer, and costs less to own over time. We tell you exactly how we got to those numbers.
