No more plastic in my mouth
Found out nylon bristles shed microplastics as they wear. Switched to real horse hair and stopped worrying every morning.
Marisol E.
The reason I finally switched
I didn't want plastic breaking down against my teeth twice a day. These natural bristles fixed that instantly. So relieved.
Devon H.
Clean mouth, zero plastic
Every nylon brush sheds tiny plastic over its life. This one doesn't. Real bristles, cleaner routine, nothing going down with it.
Priya N.
No nagging by my head
Most brands never even mention EMF. TRICHORA keeps it low and says so. Now I brush without that worry at all.
Lena V.
Low EMF and still powerful
Almost skipped electric over the EMF question. This one is low output and still cleans deep. Getting both won me over.
Amir D.
Low EMF and a real clean
Almost skipped electric brushes over the EMF question. This one is low output and still deep cleans. Getting both sold me.
Teo R.
Dentist-clean feeling every day
Teeth feel freshly polished like after a cleaning, except every morning at home. Natural bristles reach everything without being harsh.
Simone D.
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN
I run my tongue over my teeth after and they're actually smooth. Boar bristles reach everywhere my manual brush missed.
Hollis G.
Deep clean without the harshness
First brush that reaches everything my manual one missed for years. My teeth feel genuinely clean, morning and night.
Cassius B.
No more funky brush smell
My old head got musty after two weeks no matter how I rinsed it. This one has stayed completely fresh.
Rina T.
Finally a head that stays fresh
Plastic heads trap moisture and start to smell. This design just doesn't hold it. Weeks in and still smells like nothing.
Ford H.
No mildew smell, ever
My previous brush grew a mildew funk inside the head within a month. This one has been completely odor free.
Neela V.
No glue holding it together
Most brushes use adhesive right where you're cleaning. This felt like a cleaner build from day one. That peace of mind matters.
Bram S.
Cleaner build, no sketchy adhesives
Didn't love chewing near cheap adhesive twice a day for years. This is built differently and it shows. I trust it now.
Odette L.
Made without the mystery glue
Once you realize most heads are just plastic and glue, you can't unknow it. Switched over and feel a lot better.

The Electric Toothbrush That Runs Low-EMF
We put every brush on the same meter, at the same distance, and filmed it. TRICHORA read 19x less electric field (14 V/m vs. 265 V/m) and 11x less magnetic field (8.0 µT vs. 88.3 µT) than the leading plastic sonic brush. You hold this thing inches from your head, twice a day.

Magnetic field read 88 µT against 8 µT. Tested on the same ERICKHILL RT-100 meter, averaged across 100+ readings, all at the highest intensity, same distance and mode; individual readings vary with meter, distance, mode, and intensity. Every electric toothbrush emits some EMF, and in our testing both brushes read within the international public-exposure reference level (ICNIRP, a scientific body, not a government safety limit). We're not calling any brush unsafe. TRICHORA just runs a small fraction of that level, for anyone who wants to cut their EMF exposure.

Shop NowFrequently Asked Questions
Mainstream electric toothbrushes use nylon bristle heads made from petroleum-derived plastic. Every time you brush, those nylon bristles shed microplastic particles directly into your mouth. A 2025 PubMed-backed study confirmed that plastic toothbrushes release up to 2.3 million microplastic particles per year. With an electric toothbrush vibrating at 30,000+ strokes per minute, that shedding is accelerated.
On top of that, conventional electric toothbrushes emit EMFs (electromagnetic fields) right next to your brain twice a day. Studies show levels can reach 70 to 90 microtesla near the head, and long-term exposure has been linked to poor sleep, reduced focus, and neurological stress.
The replacement heads are also full of BPA, phthalates, and PFAS that leach into your mouth with every use. You wanted a better clean, not a daily dose of toxins.
It's a natural-bristle sonic toothbrush, now with the softest natural bristle available for electric toothbrushes. Instead of plastic nylon heads, we use:
- 100% Pure Horse Bristles on a Bamboo Head
- The Softest, Finest Natural Bristle Available
- Low-EMF Engineered Motor
- Zero Plastic Bristles, Zero Microplastics
- Zero Toxic Glue
- Free from BPA, Phthalates & PFAS
- Seamless Natural Wood-Grain Waterproof Sonic Handle with 4 Brushing Modes & 5-Week USB Battery
Horse bristles are finer and more flexible than boar. They flex with your gums instead of scraping against them, so you get 40,000 VPM sonic cleaning power that's as gentle as it is powerful, without any of the toxic exposure that comes with mainstream electric toothbrushes.
- The softest natural bristle available for electric toothbrushes, silky-fine and flexible
- Gentle on sensitive gums, receding gumlines, and enamel, the bristles flex instead of scrape
- Eliminates 2.3 million microplastic particles per year from your oral care routine
- 40,000 VPM sonic cleaning removes 10x more plaque than manual brushing
- Low-EMF engineered so you're not pulsing radiation near your brain twice a day
- Protects your hormone health with zero BPA, phthalates, or PFAS exposure
- Supports gut health by eliminating daily microplastic ingestion
- 4 brushing modes with 3 intensity levels for a fully customized clean
- Natural horse bristles are antimicrobial so your brush head stays cleaner between uses
- Gentle enough for kids aged 6 and up
- Replaceable with boar bristle heads for a firmer, deeper clean
- Up to 5 weeks of battery life with USB charging so you never need a bulky plastic dock
- Smart 30-second quadrant timer and 2-minute auto shut-off for dentist-recommended brushing
- Glue-free brush heads with zero synthetic adhesives touching your mouth
- IPX7 waterproof rated for worry-free use in the shower

- 2x Horse Bristle & Bamboo Brush Heads
- 1x Ventilated Moso Bamboo Travel Case
- 1x USB-C Charging Cable & Countertop Stand
- 1x User Manual
The heads. That's the only difference. Both toothbrushes use the exact same handle, the same 40,000 VPM sonic motor, the same 4 brushing modes with 3 intensity levels, and the same low-EMF engineering. What changes is the bristle on the head:
Boar bristles are firm. Choose boar for a deeper, more powerful clean.
Horse bristles are soft. Choose horse for gentle brushing, sensitive gums, or receding gumlines.
Both are 100% natural, plastic-free, and fit the same handle, so you can swap between them in seconds. Your toothbrush comes with 2 brush heads in the box, matching the bristle type you choose, and replacement heads are available in 4-packs in both boar and horse.
Our horse bristles are ethically collected from the mane, gathered through gentle trimming that leaves the animal unharmed, much like a routine grooming. The hair naturally regrows, so no animal is harmed to produce a single brush.
From there, each batch goes through a careful multi-stage process to ensure it's clean, safe, and built to last:
Cleaning and softening. The raw hair is soaked in warm water to gently loosen any residual grease and natural oils.
Deep cleaning and drying. The hair is thoroughly washed to remove impurities, then dried to bring out its natural smoothness and strength.
High-heat treatment. The bristles are packed into tubes and boiled at high heat, a step that sanitizes the material and sets its shape.
Combing and sorting. Using specialized equipment, the bristles are combed until tips and roots are clean and even, then sorted by size to precise standards.
Finishing and inspection. Each brush is straightened, evenly arranged, and hand-checked to remove any reversed, loose, or overly long strands before final packaging.
The result is a premium natural bristle that's soft yet resilient, and free from the synthetic materials found in conventional brushes.
For optimal hygiene and cleaning performance, we recommend replacing your brush head every 1 to 3 months. Because TRICHORA heads are made from 100% natural horse or boar bristles woven into a bamboo base, they wear differently than synthetic nylon, so it helps to watch the bristles themselves rather than just the calendar.
Replace your brush head sooner if you notice any of the following:
- Frayed, bent, or splayed bristles. Once bristles lose their shape, they can't reach between teeth or along the gumline effectively.
- Loss of softness or flex. Horse bristles should stay fine, soft, and flexible. When they start to feel limp, matted, or flattened, cleaning power drops.
- Reduced cleaning effectiveness. If your teeth don't feel as smooth and clean after brushing, the bristles are likely worn down.
- Bristle loss or split bundles. Some minor shedding is normal in the first 1 to 2 weeks as the bamboo adjusts to humidity, but ongoing bristle loss or split bundles mean it's time for a fresh head.
- After illness. Replace your head after a cold, flu, or any infection to avoid reintroducing bacteria into your mouth.
Tip: Stand your brush head upright to air dry between uses and rinse thoroughly after brushing. Proper drying keeps the natural bristles in better condition for longer.
Your toothbrush comes with 2 horse bristle heads to get you started. Replacement heads are available in 4-packs in both horse and boar bristle options.
Stock up easily: Multi-packs of replacement Solid Moso Bamboo Heads (in both soft horsehair and firm boar bristle) are available right in our bundle selector above.
- Modes - 4 brushing modes, so you can pick the feel that suits your teeth and gums.
- Power - 40,000 VPM deep cleaning for everyday plaque and biofilm removal.
- Battery - Up to 5 weeks per charge, topped up by USB.
- Bristles - Soft Horsehair or Firm Boar heads, both click onto the same handle.
- Indicator - A dedicated LED battery indicator at the base.
Each mode has 3 intensity levels (Low, Medium, High). The built-in smart timer pulses every 30 seconds to remind you to switch to the next quadrant of your mouth. After 2 minutes, the toothbrush automatically shuts off for optimal brushing time every session.
Yes. The TRICHORA Electric Toothbrush is IPX7 waterproof rated, meaning it can be fully submerged in water. The motor noise level is 72dB or less.

5.0 Verified buyerI refused to give up my $180 Sonicare clean — until this.
I tried switching to manual bamboo brushes twice, but my teeth never felt dentist-clean and the raw wood went mouldy in a week. Then I learned 'plant-based castor-oil' bristles are still 100% synthetic nylon plastic! Trichora is the first brush that actually changed the Wear-Zone. The 40,000 VPM sonic motor gives me the exact glassy, just-left-the-hygienist feel of my Sonicare, while the Soft Horsehair feels like silk on my gums. Rotating the 2 included wax-sealed heads AM and PM keeps them bone-dry.
5.0 Verified buyerDid the 5-second lighter test on my old 'eco' brush vs. Trichora
I was skeptical about horsehair in my mouth until I read that every toothbrush before DuPont's 1938 nylon invention used natural hair. Out of curiosity I held a lighter to my old 'castor-oil bio-bristle' bamboo brush—it melted into a hard plastic bead smelling like burning chemicals. Tested a single Trichora bristle and it singed to fine ash just like real hair. Zero plastic scrubbing my gums twice a day, and the free bamboo heads and travel case that came with my order are genuinely high quality.
5.0 Verified buyerCouple's Duo: Soft Horsehair for my gums, Firm Boar for his espresso stains
Being able to customize each brush in the 2-Brush Duo bundle sealed the deal for us. I chose Sage Green with Soft Horsehair for my receding, sensitive gumline, and my husband chose Charcoal with Firm Boar bristles for his daily espresso stains. Both click onto the same 40,000 VPM handle and leave our teeth feeling polished without a single microplastic shard.
5.0 Verified buyerFollowed the 30-second warm-water soak tip — 1 loose hair Day 1, zero since!
I appreciate how honest Trichora is about why they use medical-grade 316 stainless steel staples instead of toxic waterproof epoxy glue. Before my first brush, I held the bamboo head under warm tap water for 30 seconds and ran my thumb across the bristles just like the guide says. One loose trim bristle came out on Day 1 as the bamboo swelled tight, and I haven't had a single bristle shed in 6 weeks of twice-daily brushing!
5.0 Verified buyerMy receding gums stopped bleeding in 10 days (feels like silk cloth)
My hygienist warned me that my stiff plastic electric brush was sawing into my gumline, but manual brushes left plaque behind. Switching to Trichora's Soft Horsehair on its gentlest mode feels like a silky polishing cloth moving smoothly over my enamel. Even if I press too hard, the natural keratin flexes instead of scraping. Zero pink in the sink after 10 days—and zero frayed plastic in my mouth.
5.0 Verified buyerZero bathroom mold thanks to the beeswax seal + 2-head rotation
Every manual bamboo brush I owned in the past turned black at the neck within two weeks. Trichora's Carnauba & beeswax-sealed solid Moso bamboo water-beads beautifully, and alternating my AM head and PM head so each dries 24 hours has kept them 100% spotless.

Tested it on my ERICKHILL meter — 14 V/m low-EMF is real
I bought Trichora primarily to get nylon microplastics out of my mouth, but I also tested the handle against my old sonic brush with an ERICKHILL EMF meter. My old brush spiked past 250 V/m; Trichora sat right around 14 V/m at the same distance. Incredible engineering.

60-Day 'Used-Brush' Guarantee gave me the confidence to try horsehair
I hesitated for a week because brushing with natural horsehair sounded unusual. Knowing I could use the heads for 60 days and still get a full refund made it a no-brainer. By day three I was hooked—the fine horsehair sweeps my gumline better than nylon ever did.

Recommend to all sensitive mouths

Comparing boar vs horse hair
My husband got the boar version and I got the horse hair. Both arrived a few days ago. His is firmer and mine is noticeably softer. Perfect for our different needs. He likes the deep clean feeling and I need the gentler touch. Nice that theres an option for everyone.

Great Electric Toothbrush
I love my Trichora electric toothbrush, and I have tested many mainstream brands. I use the horse fiber brush heads, and they clean my teeth very well without irritation to my gums. You get that really robust clean that many brands just aren’t able to compete with. Highly recommended.
