Well, there are multiple parts to a toothbrush, the bristles, the handle, and anything else that may be attached to it.
The bristles, the bit that wears down, generally are nylon unless noted.

The handle, again generally, is recycled plastic.
Added bits may be rubber.
I mean the antimicrobial must be something else.
Antimicrobial can be a lot of things, a lot of it is trademarked.
This one:

Says it uses "StaClean™" So what does that mean?
Well...

"Something, something, duPont"? My best guess is that it's a plastic that is non-porous so microbes can't live in it.
This one says it's infused with "Nano Silver".
https://linhart.nyc/pages/nano-silver-toothbrush
Silver does have anti-microbial properties. "Nano Silver"? Who knows.
Really you'd have to read the fine print on each brush and do the research to be vaguely certain. :)
see thats the thing. I look all over the packaging and it does not say what it is doing it. Just this bullet point of antimicrobial.
In that case it's just impermeable to microbes.
Yes, that part is called “marketing”. It’s plastic, that’s what they’re calling “antimicrobial”.
I had thought that maybe it was a non thing but alls the marketing did was make me worried that they are coating it with something like triclosan or such.
It’s all horse shit, just like “whitening” toothpaste.
I actually stay away from whitening toothpaste because it usually means peroxide. Thats like what I want to know with the brushes. Is it something I don't like in it. It being nothing at all pure bs would be the best outcome.
I don't know man. I started using whitening toothpaste last month and I'm already getting pulled over by the cops a lot less.
You’re supposed to brush your teeth not your skin. Or both I guess
