are the bristles firm (i.e. don't bend easily) or soft?

The bristles are not firm and would not clean baked-on food from cookware very well. I would describe the bristles as medium ... not firm, but not really soft either. We use KitchenAid brush on dishes, glassware and some pans. The bristles do not leave any scratches or marks. After months of use, we like this dispenser-brush.

I love my dispenser brush. It works much better than the brands you find at stores. I will buy this item again when mine wears out. I really like how it works!!!

I'd say they are firm but not hard. They are great for my soft wood floors.

Yes, they are thick, flexible plastic and as long as you don't touch the barrel the bristles aren't hot.

The packaging indicates "P.BT. Bristles." You can find information about this material on line. Some opinions seem to be that they are too stiff, but I don't find that true. They seem very gentle to me.

The bristles are soft enough to use dry, but not quite as soft as the baby hairbrushes that we have used for that purpose.

very soft. You can control the softness with pressure while holding it. I love mine. You can get brush heads that are firmer, but it comes with a soft brush head for sensitive skin.

Yes, they are very soft to the touch- a more natural bristle than some I have bought in the past. The length of the brushes is about 6"

They are soft but also long enough. I don't like styling tools that have really short bristles because it feels like I can't get my hair in them. I like these bristles

Yes. The one brush the bristles are very stiff and the other brush they are soft

Yes, it is very firm. I've found this brush sometimes takes some of the skin off my red potatoes.

They are soft, but dense. They are not stiff and scratchy but do not bend. Like thick hair that is fine, not coarse. Love it.

They are natural boar bristles. The bristles are soft enough for skin but firm enough for effective Skin Brushing.

They are very firm, not squishy and the outside is durable, but not soft. I like them, though. Beautiful on my sofa!

This brush isn't super soft, the bristles are pure boar hair which are pretty stiff and give you a rough but solid brush.

I just purchased the Oral-B Dual Clean Replacement head. They are quite good but I would not call them a soft brush. In face, they are a little stiff when new. I don't know if Oral-B sells a soft head.

Well I wouldn't say hard, but I wouldn't say soft either. So maybe somewhere in between. Hope that helps. Also I would really recommend them.

Bristles relatively stiff. I think that they are natural -- I.e., boar's hair.
