The present invention is directed to a toothbrush having a handle portion, a neck portion and a head (1), the head (1) being provided with bristle tufts (6) arranged in a complex internal geometry by means of the stapling technique. To enable a visually flawless molding to be produced, material cross-sections in the head (1), in particular in the area of the blind-end holes (11, 12) provided for tufting, are taken into consideration.
