natural bristles

    0.04 sec.
natural bristles,
n animal hair (usually from hogs) that can be used in toothbrushes. They are not as durable or effective as synthetic bristles because individual hair thickness and length is not uniform, the porous nature of the bristles makes contamination more probable, and their absorbency makes rapid wear and deterioration more likely.
