An applicator for a cosmetic product, in particular mascara, comprises a twisted core and fibers which extend from the core and are held by the core, the core having a main longitudinal direction of extension, known as the main axis (X), and the core being rectilinear along the main axis (X). The fibers form an envelope (E) with their free ends, the envelope (E) comprising faces (F1-F4) which alternate about the main axis (X), the faces (F1-F4) being curved, a cross section made transversely to the main axis (X), known as the cross section, having a substantially polygonal shape so as to form edges between the curved faces (F1-F4).

A method of manufacturing a toothbrush includes steps of providing a carrier having at least a first through hole extending from a front side to a backside of the carrier and at least a first wall element integral with the carrier and extending from the back side in a vicinity of the through hole; introducing a first cleaning element into the first through hole such that an end portion of the first cleaning element is exposed on the backside of the carrier; treating the end portion of the first cleaning element such that it deforms and becomes wider than the first through hole; and deforming the first wall element until it at least partially extends over the deformed end portion of the first cleaning element such that the first cleaning element is effectively retained in its axial position. A brush having structural features resulting from the manufacturing method.

A toothbrush filament preparation method, a prepared toothbrush filament, and a toothbrush. The toothbrush filament preparation method comprises: melting and extruding a piezoelectric polymer, and executing a corona polarization step and an annealing step, such that the piezoelectric constant of a toothbrush filament in a standing state is greater than or equal to 0.4 pC/N, and some polarization charges stably exist on the surface of the toothbrush filament. The problem of bacteria breeding on a toothbrush filament in a standing state can be effectively relieved by utilizing the action principle of physical electrical stimulation for an antibacterial purpose, thereby improving the antibacterial properties of the toothbrush filament.
