Soft nylon is still nylon

If you have sensitive gums, you've been buying softer and softer nylon for years. Softer nylon is the same petroleum, drawn thinner. And it still sheds. A plastic toothbrush releases up to 2.3 million microplastic particles a year, roughly 3,192 every single time you brush (ScienceDirect, 2025). Here's the mechanism: this is the worst possible route into the body, and sensitive gums make it worse. Nylon is extruded filament that won't flex, so it scrapes the gum margin instead of bending with it, shaving fragments off its own tips. Gum tissue is 10x more permeable than skin. Inflamed or receded gums are more permeable still, which means the people being most careful are absorbing the most. So none of the workarounds solved it. The extra soft nylon. Brushing lighter. Skipping the gumline, which is exactly where plaque sits. The sensitivity toothpaste, treating a symptom the brush kept causing. The bamboo-handle brush from the health aisle, still nylon glued into a plastic head.
