Tiobrush also includes a hygienic travel cap.

The minimal packaging causes little waste – in fact, almost none. That’s because after unpacking, it becomes a fully-fledged, hygienic travel cap. It protects your toothbrush on the road and keeps it clean. The cap made of sugarcane is recyclable, so if you want to get rid of it: Put it in recycling so it has a chance of being revived.

How do I replace the brush head
Simply use the pin at the bottom of your new TIO head to release the worn out brush head with a little pressure. To do this, press into the recess on the back of your toothbrush. Meanwhile pull the head out of the handle.

Why not just replace the head?
We have deliberately decided to use a longer replaceable head, as this is the only way to guarantee the necessary hygiene. The gap is located outside the mouth area and any accumulation of germs is thus kept at a distance from the body.
