Ergonomic Sliding Bamboo Toothbrush
A sustainable bamboo toothbrush featuring an integrated sliding protection cap to shield bristles from moisture and damage, combining natural materials with practical mechanical design.
The project
Project overview
A traditional bamboo toothbrush offers a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastic handles, but its exposed bristles and sensitivity to moisture present everyday usability challenges.
Exposed toothbrush heads are easily contaminated in transit, while bamboo components require adequate ventilation and protection against stagnant moisture to maintain structural integrity.
This concept explores how a mechanical solution improves the user experience without losing the minimal, natural character of bamboo. The sliding cap protects the brush head when stored and retracts smoothly when the toothbrush is ready for use.
A coordinated consumer product design bringing sustainability, practical functionality, and mechanical CAD assembly together for prototyping and review.
