Vegan Cruelty-free Dental Floss with Refillable Bamboo Container

Having recently learned that many flosses incorporate PFAS, I looked for an alternative. The main thing I liked about my old floss was that it was a flat ribbon that didn't cut into my fingers. I'm happy to report that this floss does NOT cut into my fingers and is made of only healthy, natural products. Bamboo is fast growing & very sustainable. I got the cute bamboo floss holder which is refillable; no more throw away-plastic containers.And, no plastic in the packaging. No problem with shredding. Great product all the way around! I also like that this product is from a small business.

This is the best dental floss, (others are frustrating for me). It works wonderfully for gripping in the fingers and sliding between tight teeth, without breakage or fraying! I LOVE that it's biodegradable Bamboo, large spool, refillable container, zero waste. I've bought both their 50m and 30m refills which fit this bamboo container. 😁💚

I read some reviews that said the floss breaks. Well, it does, as does the other flosses. I usually break it once every time I floss but the same thing happened with the plastic floss. I like the way it feels when it goes by my teeth like it is scraping them clean. Silk is a very strong fiber and it really shows in this application.

I'm always suspicious of anything that starts with four long words in the description. However, i was surprised to really like this stuff. It doesn't break for me (maybe once) and fits in between my teeth well. The dispenser is easy to handle - as opposed to the glass ones.Yes, I would buy this again and I already have ordered refills.

The floss itself is great. Sturdy even for my teeth that are super close together. I've had the floss picks snap on me. Slides in very easily and hasn't broken yet.Description says peppermint essence but I don't taste that. Its not a huge deal but I had to look up my order again to see if maybe I purchased the wrong one.The bamboo container is cute. The metal piece on top that cuts the floss is not really in there tight. Sometimes seems it like its going to pop off but I don't really care... I'm sure I won't until I lose it lol.Overall I like the purchase and would recommend to others.

My floss of choice was Oral-B complete SatinFloss, which has a ribbon shape, so all my comparisons are to that floss. Included should be pictures comparing the size of the bamboo container and the Oral-B satinfloss container, with a tape measure for a rough size scale. I chose bamboo over the glass container, so that I won't have to worry about chucking this into a bag and having the glass shatter and make a danger mess anywhere. Came with two spools of floss (50M each, one is already placed in the container). Packaging is a simple small cardboard box, and the floss spools wrapped in a little waxed(?) paper.About the bamboo container: the lid and body don't appear to be perfect circles. As in, when I first opened the package and felt the place where lid and body meet, I could feel it wasn't smooth. Luckily, I was able to twist the lid/body until the join seemed to match up, and the transition felt smooth. Just realize if that minor thing matters to you, it's something to be aware of. Maybe yours won't have this problem. Pictures included that hopefully show the difference.Floss shape/feel: This floss is not flat, and is more round than the SatinFloss, which I ended up liking because it seemed more able to pick up and floss out the food between my teeth. It's not too thick and not too thin for my teeth personally, although there are a couple of tight gaps that make it hard to get the floss in. I've included a couple pictures comparing the width of the flosses, held between my fingers. In one of the pictures I twisted the Satinfloss to show the 'flat' width as well. I will also comment the floss feels "grippier" on my teeth--both flosses glide through my teeth, but somehow this floss feels...scrubbier? on my teeth. Not exactly sure how to describe it. Could be a mental thing though.Sturdiness: So far, I've flossed with it maybe 7 times? 10? And it's broken/snapped in half once. It took me by surprise but it was a relatively clean break, and with this floss I haven't had fibers get stuck in my teeth. I don't recall Oral-B snapping on me before, but I'm willing to chalk the snap up as a fluke. Overall the floss feels very solid, but if it ever snaps again I'll definitely be keeping score.Overall, I'm generally quite happy with the buy and look forward to buying refills for floss! It's a happy bonus that the floss is (allegedly) biodegradable. I might eventually buy another to put in my bag to carry out.However, the real challenge is yet to come; I haven't eaten beef, which for me personally, likes to ram itself in the back between my molars, and can be a pain to floss out because the food matter 'blocks' the floss from being able to enter between my teeth. Whenever I eat beef and/or that problematic situation appears, I'll be sure to add an update to see whether this floss can handle that, because for me that's a make or break scenario for my flossing needs.Edit (December 22nd, 2020): The floss handled beef well! I was worried its round/not flat profile meant it would pose a challenge but luckily that was not the case. The floss has broken 2 additional times since initial writing, but they've snapped in the center and I was able to use the two halves to finish the job. For me, the snapping isn't a concern because it doesn't happen frequently enough for me to care. I do wear retainers nightly though, and there's one particular spot that really gives me trouble trying to get the floss in. So if you really need the thin profile of a ribbon floss to get in between a gao, you're going to have a tough go with this floss. Again, for me, this is just one gap, so I can live with this floss.As a note: once, the floss pulled itself back into the container so I had to rethread it through the little hole in the cap. To avoid this problem, after I pull the amount of floss I need, I shake the container to get as much slack as I can, then cut the floss slightly loosely, not tight. This has been enough to prevent the floss spool from rocking and pulling the floss through the hole.

Highly recommend. Would never know that it wasn't plastic, amazing and great for the environment, thank youfor making this product !!!

Reading the reviews for this dental floss I noticed that people either loved it, or complained about it being stringy and snapping easily. I decided to give it a try, and found I fall closer to the latter category. Before even my first floss I noticed the thread was fraying under my fingers. This got exacerbated when flossing in very tight gaps between some teeth. The thread would fray and quickly reduce to one thin string, before snapping (which happened during my first floss). My lower set of teeth are a bit crowded together and the floss snapped there. The upper set is more spaced out and while I noticed the charcoal floss felt thicker or not waxed as much as a "regular floss" thus getting a bit stuck here and there, it still did not snap.I conclude from this that any tight gap between the teeth is a serious problem for this floss.Regarding the flavor, mine was a strong mint which was absolutely a must to (mostly) block out the natural smell reminiscent of fossil fuels.Overall, I still felt good about flossing not with PFAs, but with a product good for me and the environment. Perhaps not so good about the actual flossing experience. I will probably try a silk spool next
