Product Reviews of Flossaid Dental Floss Holder ONE

Product Review: Wow, a three pack of the best flosser on earth!
Summary: 5 Stars

I too was afraid I would not be able to find these, when CVS took over our local (and much better) Long's Drug Stores and stopped stocking them, and Rite Aid never carried them. I am buying a couple 3 packs. They last for a very long time, but better to stockpile them now. You never know when some really good product is going to get bought up (like Long's, or Glide floss) and changed for the worse.

Product Review: flossing has never been easier
Summary: 5 Stars

I've tried lots of floss handles, disposable floss-ups, and other flossing devices, and this is the best of them all. Strong and well-built, and uses regular (any kind of) floss for decreased cost and less waste than the dispoable ones. Wind the floss once around the post while anchoring it by the base of the handle with your thumb, around the ends (pinching them together slightly to get a good tension on the floss), and twice more around the post. I use it with a wider glide tape, and it's the easiest flossing I've done in years (and the gaps between my teeth are quite a range, in some places so tight that regular disposable floss-ups just rip or come apart). Best of all: it's quick, and I don't have to put my hands in my mouth (because who knows where *they've* been?).

Product Review: much better than disposables
Summary: 5 Stars

This kind of floss holder used to be common before the disposable types came out. When my previous one broke (I'm not sure how old it was, around 10 years or so), I searched many stores locally without success before I found these on line.
There are several advantages to this type of holder compared to the disposables:

- Use any kind of floss you want (waxed, unwaxed, dental-tape, whatever)

- long handle allows me to get the back teeth without jamming my fingers in my mouth

- around 1" of floss exposed; easy to work into difficult areas (I have very close set teeth and have to work the floss back and forth to get between some of them)

- The device allows enough control that I can also use it to stimulate the gums around the teeth (OK, a disposable can do that too, but its hard to get fine control with my fingers jammed in my mouth for the back teeth)

- A spool of floss lasts about a year, the handle should last many years.

- The handle is easy to clean, just rinse it like a toothbrush. It doesn't come into contact with your gums; it just touches the inside of the cheek.

Product Review: short life
Summary: 1 Stars

Initially I was very pleased with the item. I ordered it Jan. 31, 2011 and received it the first week in February. I used it nightly, unfortunately it broke last night. The seller offered no help beyond referring me to the manufacturer. A 7 week life span is pretty short.
