Abstract

A brush, preferably a toothbrush, comprises a brush body and at least one bundle of flexible bristes. At least one supporting element is provided on the brush body for laterally supporting at least one bundle of bristles. This improves the service life of the bundles of bristles, allowing a prolonged use of the brush and a sufficiently high flexibility of the bristles or bundles of bristles at the same time. A method of producing the brush is also indicated.
