Gaia Guy Natural Bristle Bamboo Toothbrush
A nylon-free bamboo brush with boar-hair bristles sold cheaply in 6- and 12-packs - the same plastic-free build as pricier picks, at bulk-multipack pricing.
The verdict: Plastic-free
No plastic and no nylon in the contact path. The handle is bamboo and the bristles are natural boar hair, boiled to sanitize; the brand states plainly that there is no nylon. The tufts are held by metal staples with no glue, so the only non-plant material is an inert stainless anchor - which is recyclable and does not downgrade the rating, exactly as a metal staple or ferrule doesn't. Sold in bulk packs, it is the budget way to get a genuinely natural-bristle brush.
