An oral care implement comprising: a head having at least one tooth cleaning element; a handle coupled to the head, the handle comprising at least one through-hole extending through the handle, the through-hole terminating as a first opening on a first side of the handle and terminating as a second opening on a second side of the handle; a first grip component coupled to the handle to enclose the first opening, the first grip component comprising an annular rim defining a central opening and a first resilient body mounted to the annular rim that covers the central opening, the annular rim formed of a first material and the first resilient body formed of a second material; and a second grip component coupled to the handle to enclose the second opening, the second grip component comprises a second resilient body formed of a third material; characterized in that the first grip component has an inner surface and a first projecting portion extending from the inner surface and the second grip component has an inner surface and a second projecting portion extending from the inner surface, the inner surfaces (136, 146) of the first and second grip components (130, 140) separated from one another by a volume of free space, wherein (i) either in the uncompressed state the bottom surfaces of the first and second projecting portions (186D, 188D) are in contact with each other, or (ii) spaced apart from one another and will contact one another upon the application of a compression force onto one of the resilient bodies (134D, 144D). a head having at least one tooth cleaning element; a handle coupled to the head, the handle comprising at least one through-hole extending through the handle, the through-hole terminating as a first opening on a first side of the handle and terminating as a second opening on a second side of the handle; a first grip component coupled to the handle to enclose the first opening, the first grip component comprising an annular rim defining a central opening and a first resilient body mounted to the annular rim that covers the central opening, the annular rim formed of a first material and the first resilient body formed of a second material; and a second grip component coupled to the handle to enclose the second opening, the second grip component comprises a second resilient body formed of a third material; characterized in that the first grip component has an inner surface and a first projecting portion extending from the inner surface and the second grip component has an inner surface and a second projecting portion extending from the inner surface, the inner surfaces (136, 146) of the first and second grip components (130, 140) separated from one another by a volume of free space, wherein (i) either in the uncompressed state the bottom surfaces of the first and second projecting portions (186D, 188D) are in contact with each other, or (ii) spaced apart from one another and will contact one another upon the application of a compression force onto one of the resilient bodies (134D, 144D).
