Great dental floss for a very good price.

This has become more and more difficult to find in the stores - almost everything is mint flavored anymore, and we don't use mint products. Our dentist and his dental hygienist strongly recommend this brand and I got a good explanation why during my last cleaning, so we checked Amazon for the unflavored variety. According to our dentist's office, this actually traps more food than waxed floss because of being made from Gore-tex. Initially, I was quite happy at a large quantity at a good price, and an easy source.But something in the back of my mind triggered an internet search on Glide and Gore-tex. Immediately I found the long list of articles claiming I was going to die from all kinds of different cancers, get brain damage, etc., because of the chemicals used to make Gore-tex and Glide floss.Frankly, I'm more than a little sick of all the horror stories on the internet about almost any subject one can find. Everything is going to make us die horrible deaths, if the internet is to be believed. Yet it's important to know that in our family we now use as few chemicals as reasonably possible. We don't use chemicals in our garden, and have the best crops of veggies ever this year. And yes, we use Black Berkey water filters for our supposedly high quality tap water, drinking or cooking nothing out of the tap unless it's first gone through our Berkey filter. (Note: don't buy Berkey filters on Amazon - Berkey doesn't warrant them because of the practices of some of the after-market companies.) We use various other products that area as natural as we can get, and eat a lot of organic foods, drink raw milk, etc. Sound like some healthfood whackos? Maybe - yet remember, I was initially skeptical about the massive number of warning articles about the perfluoro- compounds in Glide floss. Why? I want reasonable proof of things.And I kept looking, and looking, and can find almost nothing substantiating the safety of these compounds, or even that they supposedly no longer persist in the finished product - just that they're used in creating it (that was the argument with them in creating Teflon). And I spent considerable time searching the P&G web site, searched all of their FAQs for this product, and even attempted to find a product safety data sheet on this product - they don't list one despite having such sheets for other products - they don't even have an "ingredients" sheet for Glide floss.So my bottom line is that I'm out the money spent on this product because it's past the Amazon return period. Fine - not Amazon's fault, they're just a retailer, or the vehicle retailers use. But out of what now seems more like reasonable caution, rather than a "just in case" caution, I am discontinuing the use of this product, and going back to my previous unflavored, waxed regular dental floss. Do your own research - your mileage may vary....

The product I received was labeled "Oral-B, Glide, Healthy Gums" and not the floss pictured. However, my preferred floss labeled "original" is quite similar to this product. Therefore, I did not return the package.

The floss string can cause cuts on your fingers if you have wrapped them too tight to get a grip while flossing. So be careful! You might also need to pull it a bit to trace it out of the interdental spaces without damaging the teeth.Overall it is a good product but I am removing 1 star because of the points mentioned above.

As someone who has teeth that are very close together, it seems imperative to have a floss that is coated so it does not break constantly as I'm flossing. At the dentist they always give out that unwaxed floss which is not worth using for someone like me. It breaks between your teeth, then trying to get the frayed piece out from between your teeth, you get more and more stuff lodged in with the original floss. So, save yourself a lot of aggravation and discomfort and just get this awesome coated floss. It has a pleasant taste, the cost is very reasonable, and of course the added convenience of Amazon saving time and $$ not running to the store. I have it on subscribe-and-save, as I'll be needing floss as long as I have teeth. The 6 pack is ingenious, because I can dispense it to the rest of the family~

This is my second time buying this floss. The first time was not great, the floss feels like plastic and when I pull the floss out, it sometimes lags and when I pull harder, too much comes out. This time, it has much improved to be like the Oral B minted tape floss. I had wanted to buy floss like that but since it’s mint, I won’t. Now the improvement has made the price increase of 2 cents per foot to 3 cents per foot more worth the purchase. The added window to see the roll of floss definitely helps me predict when I will need to buy more floss if the pack of six runs out. And most importantly, the floss is wider like tape and it’s softer like fabric almost! The experience of flossing literally feels like it's gliding through my gums. No pain at all like the floss from the first, unimproved purchase. The new packaging in all paper is a plus too, as it is easier to rip out the floss from it than from plastic, as well as the environmentally friendly factor. I like that they also put a QR code on the packaging to let you know where to recycle the floss dispenser, I didn't know that they need to be especially recycled, usually I just throw them in my blue recycling bin. I like that they improved it. I won't look at any other brands from now on, this one is perfect.
