Now this never really bothered me in the past but on hindsight I stick this thing in my mouth just like food so it would be good to know what its composed of. What really got me though is seeing toothbrushes that say whitening or antimicrobial which begs the question. Why is this whitening or antimicrobial? What the heck is in it that is doing this action??? Now that I think of it this might be more than mildly infuriating.

      no, but I am putting them in my mouth and literally rubbing it over everything in there, and like the same one over and over again. For months.

        Without context, I could understand how aliens might think toothbrushes are a sex toy.

      Bristles can break off and get swallowed without ever being noticed. I’m sure that the average person consumes a non-zero amount of toothbrush throughout their lifetime. So yes, we’re eating toothbrushes.
