But, the ones I received were not clear bristles

I can only imagine the hard bristles...

These are not soft bristled and are bad for your gums.

No loose bristles, bristles aren't too sharp, handles are easy to grip but strangely long (if you have big hands this would be a plus I'm guessing)

The bristles in these are just hard enough for good cleaning but not too hard to wear your gums hurt

It literally feels like they took the bristles off a scrubbing brush and put them on a brush

Hard bristles, will kill your gums.

Good toothbrushes w/ soft bristles.

The bristles are not white/clear, they are colored purple, green, yellow, and orange.

I like how the bristles feel so gentle and the indicator also helps me ensure that I am replacing my tooth brush in a timely manner!

The bristles are very soft and can clean all parts of the teeth to maintain oral hygiene.

These brushes have colorful bristles, two are an ugly orange

The bristles are very dense and soft, which is suitable for children

Horrible quality bristles

Soft bristles are great with the whitening toothpaste although the handle gets very slippery.

The bristles are not soft enough, feels like me do bristles.

I like the packaging since it doesn’t waste plastic but these are not for people who need gentle bristles.

n’t recommend this product if you are looking for soft bristle tooth brush!

I was a bit worried the colorful bristles would turn my teeth different colors, but of course they didn't.

As for the business end of the brush, the bristles are plenty soft and nicely aligned – not arranged in strange angles or odd spacing

The bristles aren't flexible.

Stated as soft but bristles are super hard.

Good design with comfortable bristles.

These bristles aren't soft (even though the package says they are)

I MUCH prefer the clear bristles (which is why I ordered) but the classic shape is hard to find locally

Nothing beats Oral B 40 Soft Bristle toothbrushes.

Very hard & rigid bristles.

Very rigid bristles

The package says “soft” bristles

the package we received had bright yellow bristles instead of what the product picture shows

The Bristle is not that soft

Always use a soft bristle so you don't have sensitivity issues with gums pulling down and exposing too much tooth as you get older

More stiff bristles than expected

These are far from SOFT bristles.

but I like the white bristles (with center color indicator

If there’s anything stuck in the bristles you can’t easily see it as you could the clear bristles (as pictured)

The ones I ordered (which are the ones advertised) have clear/white bristles with the blue indicator

Dentist don't want you using hard bristles, because they cleaned your teeth

Very nice color, actually realized, the bristles are very soft, very comfortable, and overall feels good.

Sturdy but soft bristles clean well, while not irritating my gums.
