I Just Found the Greatest Toilet Brush Ever and Can’t Stop Yapping About It

Like you, I haven’t thought about toilet brushes since the last time I bought one. Mine suddenly self-destructed (given how 2025 has gone so far...that’s..relatable), thrusting me back into the toilet brush market after a five-ish year hiatus. 

A lot has changed.

I promise you, I’ve never cared this much about toilet brushes before in my life, but having stumbled upon something useful—what a refreshing, pleasant surprise. And rare, given our world of shrinkflation and enshittification. Like, really: when was the last time you were truly impressed by something you bought? *Crickets* Same. That’s why I’ve taken to the internet to evangelize. 

Behold: The silicon toilet brush that’s kind of like a beaver tail with spikes. 

And I got it on sale.

Before we go any further, let me first confess: I bought this particular brush because it’s matte black, sleek and would match my decor. I paid no mind to the actual design. Shame on me, etc. 

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to it. 

Switching from bristles to silicon was much better than I expected. I wasn’t sure if silicon could clean the porcelain as well, but boy was I wrong. The bowl sparkled, and better yet, the flexibility of the “beaver tail” meant the thin part of the brush could reach under the rim and unlock debris *shudder* that’s been lurking for who knows how long. I know. In lieu of dry heaving, I scrubbed and tried not to consider which was worse: cleaning my own dormant mess or the previous owner’s. No conclusions were made.

Assuming I must be late to the silicon toilet brush party, I went online to search for reviews, expecting to see countless posts screaming this knowledge from the rooftops. Yet, none existed. There were of course listicles and magazine articles about toilet brushes, but I didn’t see anything calling out this particular design. So here I am. This brush feels nice to use, cleans exceptionally well and looks elegant in the bathroom. Plus, its narrow shape makes it easy to tuck away.

Why am I prattling on about this toilet brush? 

Not just because I’m middle aged, though that is a factor, but because there are a thousand little moments in a day, and this made one of them better. I thought you deserved to know. No, I wasn’t paid for any part of this screed, so rest assured, opinions are my own. My genuine delight over using this type of toilet brush drove me to the internet to proselytize. Enjoy!
