are the toothbrushes' bristles soft, medium, or hard?

I would consider them medium. My wife & I both love this toothbrush. I use it more gingerly than she. It would seem the pressure used to actually brush is more of a factor than the soft, medium or hard bristle type, in my humble opinion anyway. There seem to be three different types of bristles on the brush head itself. Hope this helps !

I can't say for sure how stiff the bristles are but I'm able to brush my gums with it without discomfort and I have fairly sensitive gums.

I've been using them so long It's hard to remember back to when I used regular tooth brushes that were classified as soft and medium. However, assuming my memory is correct, I'd actually call these somewhere in the medium/hard catagory. Probably in my opinion half way between medium and hard.

The brush is soft enough for everyday use. The bristles are not super soft as they have to be sturdy enough to exfoliate your skin. I just bought this brush and love it.

Yes, there are a number of distinctly different brush heads, but all of them are relatively soft bristled.

They are a very soft fine grade of nylon. The package contains 2 brushes. I clean the brushes about once per week. I soak it in a water/peroxide solution and then put it through the dishwasher cycle. It has never made my skin break out. Since I have never used the electric brushes I can't compare them, but I really like this product. If you want a natural bristle then these are not for you. I wanted something that would clean my skin without irritating it and for this purpose it works well on my sensitive skin.I hope this helps.

I don't think they are I think they are all soft bristle. When I ordered them they were the same as I received from my oral surgeon. Best advice I can give is to check with Amazon or on the inner net.

Bristles are just right -- not soft and not rock hard. This should work well for you.

The bristles are soft, kind of like a brand new toothbrush. But when they scrub on the skin, depending on if you have sensitive skin or not(I do), it may hurt quite a bit when you first start scrubbing, and you'll have to endure the pain until your skin gets used to the pain from the scrubbing. (My skin used to turn red from the scrubbing, but not anymore)

From the base of the bristles to the top it is a little short of 1/2 inch. This does not include the plastic part they are embedded in. They are about a medium brush head - not stiff like a hard or soft like sensitives. They can only be used with E series where you screw them onto the base.

The bristles are soft so they do not injure your gums with the right amount of give to clean teeth and have good dental hygene. The handle under the brush is tapered and has a flexibility to it so that you can reach difficult areas easily. These are the best toothbrushes I've ever purchased. I get good report from Dentist at my cleaning visits. I recommened them totally.

The bristles are the thin metal type that are hard, so I would at gently brush. The small size will be a perfect fit. Hope this helps

They're soft-to-medium. They're not stiff and they're soft enough they fan out slightly when the drill is at full speed.

I love the answers we rated it from soft to hard. Guess it all depends. Soft to me is when you press the bristles and they go down easly. Hard is when your press on them and they don't go down. Looks like you will just have to try it.

The bristles seem to be just perfect. Not too hard and not too soft. I guess that would be a medium?? Hope this helps...I also purchased extra heads just in case, but the original seems to be holding up great!

When it was brand new the bristles were a bit hard but as I have used it they have softened considerably. Hope this helps :)

I really don't know. All I can say is that the bristles are very, very soft.

The bristles are kind of hard . They retract to make it easy to remove the hair so the bristles are a kind of steel material. I got the large brush so I have no idea about the small size. I really like this brush. Hope this helps..

All of the bristles are the same length and they are soft bristles. Firm enough to do the job but not hard enough to damage gums. I ordered over a dozen of these since I can't find them in the stores anymore. It works better for me than any other toothbrush I have found. No tricks, just a good same size bristle toothbrush.
