Abstract
A toothbrush includes an anisotropic deformation portion () on a rear end side from the bristle tufting surface (), and a bending strength in a first direction orthogonal to the bristle tufting surface that is smaller than a bending strength in a second direction orthogonal to the long axis direction and the first direction. The anisotropic deformation portion includes an elastic deformation portion () that connects a first region on the tip end side from the anisotropic deformation portion and a second region on the rear end side from the anisotropic deformation portion. The elastic deformation portion is elastically deformable in the first direction and the second direction, and bending load when the head portion is displaced in the first direction is lower than a bending load when the head portion is displaced in the second direction.
