The invention relates to a method for producing a toothbrush with a solid handle (2) having a large cross-section. Either one section only of the material provided for producing the handle (2) is injected into a first cavity (8) and the remaining part of said material is injected in one or more portions into an additional cavity (12) and brought into contact with at least one of the parts that have already been injected, or the material provided for producing the handle (2) is fully injected into the first cavity and subsequently displaced into a cooling cavity in order to cool and harden. The method enables short injecting intervals.
