Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Comfort Plus Floss, Mint, 3 Ct

At first I thought that the dental floss looked like cheap plastic tape; however, the DF held up well during flossing & got the job done with ease. The DF slid easily between tight crowns without breaking or getting stuck between my teeth.I had just about given up on flossing because other waxed woven flosses got stuck between my teeth & shredded badly. I have even had to get the scissors out on occasion to cut the knotted floss. Flossing was difficult & stressful & took up too much time.I can comfortably, confidently, & easily use this floss without fear of ripping out a crown in just minutes. The price of this floss is also a plus.I am happy with this purchase.

This floss is easier on gums than regular dental floss.

easy to use works really well

Good floss

They must have changed the floss or something because it wasn’t silly like I expected.

amazing

Very good dental floss. Some sort of semi stretchable plastic. But it doesn’t stretch too much as to get thin. I’ve tried other cheaper brands which can’t way too thin. This one’s worth the money.

I began utilizing Glide Floss more than two decades ago when I read about it on an online forum. Regular floss was always tricky to use because I had tight spacing between my teeth, so the result was shredding and pulling, and the floss always got stuck. Once I found Glide floss for the first time, I could floss normally without snagging, shredding, sticking, or harming my gums. But now, that has all changed. Unfortunately, Oral-B has altered the material of their floss due to PFAS chemicals in the previous textiles.While I understand the need to remove such substances, the company did not take much time to research or test better alternatives to the current product. The way that I can explain its look and feel is that of plastic. It is not very good, and unlike any floss I have used in my life. I do not understand how the company thought it was an acceptable alternative. First, the floss snaps into your gums as it enters between the teeth (something you feel and hear). It is then so hard that it cuts into your gums (it made my gums bleed – they never bleed otherwise – ever). I also had difficulty removing the floss when moving to the next space. At times, it felt as though I might pull my teeth out, and it was so challenging to extract. I floss, use a WaterPik, and use proxabrushes daily; I never miss this routine.Additionally, I just had my cleaning, so there is no chance I had any buildup that would have made the task more demanding (if anything, it should have been easier). Corporations as large as Oral-B and Procter & Gamble (P&G) usually go through significant R&D before releasing products to the masses. I have a hard time believing that their research found that the majority liked the new floss material. It is not enjoyable and does not do the one job floss was made for and invented to do. My teeth and gums are still hurting from the one use. I purchased a pack of three, flossed with one of them once, and am returning all. Unfortunately, after more than twenty years of only buying Oral-B/Glide tape floss, I must move on. They lost a lifelong customer by releasing a product I cannot use, and I am sure most others cannot either; the act reeks of no research or consumer testing. I hope they put in the work to offer a new and better floss to replace the old, perfect product because this one will lose them many customers (and, more importantly to corporations, profit). I advise staying away unless you want your floss to do you more harm than good (seriously).
