soft bristles
Flexible cleaning strands
Soft bristles are the flexible, gentle fibers on a brush, typically made from nylon or natural materials.
The term appears most often in dental care—dentists recommend a toothbrush with soft bristles to protect tooth enamel and gums.
Soft bristles also feature on hairbrushes for fine hair and cleaning brushes for delicate surfaces.
