These tools are used by threading a piece of floss (of your choice) through the small piece of plastic. It is much like a piece of thread being fed through the eye of a needle. The floss itself is thin, with only a light waxing. It glides well between the teeth, but there is a bit of resistance, which just feels like it is doing a more thorough job. There is no shredding when using the floss, even in tighter spaces.

The Wisdom floss performed the worst, shredding very easily. I found the Oral-B Essential floss to be the least prone to shredding, whilst the Colgate and Reach were in the middle. Given the longer spool length and affordable price, The Oral-B Essential Floss just pipped the Colgate option. Eco-friendly dental floss Material: We considered material by looking at features like how much wax the floss is coated in, if it offers additional hygienic ingredients like fluoride, and whether the fibers are strong or prone to breakage. Price: Dental hygiene shouldn't feel like a financial burden. We made sure to include an assortment of products in a range of prices so everyone can clean their teeth, regardless of budget. This has a negative impact on the environment because of the resources needed to make the plastic, the difficulty with recycling it, and the potential for harm to the environment if it is not disposed of correctly. These are all pre-cut options with some sort of threader and a length of spongy floss. Unlike other flosses, there is a lot of difference between the products.Doing hands-on testing does allow me to assess cleaning performance. But, there is little evidence to support one type of floss over any other. Technique is more important.
