Plackers Dental Flossers Micro Mint - 90 Count

Brilliant hard wearing flossers

I first encountered Plackers Dental Flossers in the USA, and made a point of buying plenty whenever I was over. Finding them on Amazon in the UK was a bonus. Unlike most flossers, these ones are not only easy to hold due to the flat handles, they also floss for a decent length of time without immediately bunching up. The tough floss is effective even with tight spaces between teeth. The built-in toothpick is also a good design - deployed by bending the end of the handle back on itself. This means it doesn't dig into your hand when you're flossing, and helps give you that stable handle when it's not in use. The toothpick is strong and effective. It is also very good for scraping pocket fluff out of iPhone charging sockets without shorting out the connectors. A versatile tool indeed!

They do what it says on the packet!

This is a great set of floss picks, in my opinion the best value for money as you get 90 flossers for just over £4, whereas I have seen a lot of other brands which sell only 30 flossers for the same price. These are very easy to get in and out between your teeth and the mint flavour is not too over-powering. Also, even though it is quite thin it is surprising quite strong and I have not had any break on me yet (this being the third pack I have brought). These are perfect if you have a full set of teeth without any wide gaps. However, if like me, you have had a few teeth taken out as a child and had braces then the gaps between some teeth will be larger than some others. So for the larger gaps, these flossers don't work as well as they are too thin, and I would recommend to use interdental brushes instead.

I was worried about buying these as over the years I struggle to find good floss picks that don't snap in use - and have settled for years on an American type that Tesco used to sell - but no more, sadly. These seemed similar in that many reviewers comments on the un-breakability of the floss string. With tightly spaced teeth, I can easily snap floss like it's going out of fashion. But these have proved to be the best floss picks I've used so far. The previous type from Tesco was more of a tape than these - which has floss that is a fine cord. Initially, I found this thinness tended to hurt my gums just a little more, but I also found that I was removing more tartar and debris from my teeth than with the previous type, which did surprise me as I thought floss was floss and that was that! Anyhow, perseverance paid off and now I would not be without these. The shape seems large initially, but again, this has proven to be a bonus as it means that you can more easily grip the holder and thus can more easily reach all areas of the teeth - even the back of the rear molars become easily accessible for cleaning. Top notch!

Tried and tested product. I always find normal floss difficult to use in difficult to reach areas. This product has strong floss and isnt prone to break like competitors. The extra prong is useful when needed and doesnt cause interference. 10/10

I have tight gaps between my teeth and these were excellent.

Always purchase this brand. Floss fine enough to fit between my teeth. Best brand I’ve tried.
