Salamualaikom,

I just got a new miswak and the bristles dont seem to be staying on the miswak. Whenever I use it big chunks keep falling off.

Wa'laykum salam,

I barely chew on it and most of the bristles fall off. Then when I try and use it the remaining few bristles are all flimsy.

Its tough for a brotha sometimes.....

In my experience even though the miswak was new when it came in your possession it probably is quite old. The older the miswaak the less stronger it is. It is very difficult to judge the age of the miswaak when it comes prepacked, therefore, some are strong and some are weak.

I suggest you buy a few or try to obtain some fresh ones if this is possible.

Also keep them in the refrigerator..that helps to keep them fresh.
