Does anyone use dental floss with a floss holder?

NotSpaghetti

Thanks. I like the little brushes and they are better apparently but my husband doesn't get on with them and is looking for a solution to the flossing plastic waste.

Maybe we should look at the water-pic idea.
No plug in the bathroom though....

I use a battery operated one from Panasonic. It's lasted a good while now. Also use floss sticks but won't be buying any more to reduce plastic. I shall revert to winding it round my fingers.

Never thought I'd see bickering about dental floss.

Nor me! ?

Esspee, Do you recycle anything?
If so, why bother?

Small changes made by enough people have bigger impacts.
I thought everyone knew this.

Sorry that my interest in something that will, in a small way, make my husband's life simpler is enough to bother you.

And actually, I'm not only bothered by the floss holders I'm bothered by the floss too!

Thank you for the tip about the water flosser, I'll treat myself to one. I use the brushes as well as satin tape floss and as my eyes aren't so great now, have to use them with a magnifying mirror in bright light, not very enjoyable before bed.

If it’s just to make unpleasant remarks - why bother! Nothing better to do?

???????????? Well said..

Esspee my final comment is this - you surely realise that good dental hygiene helps to prevent serious health issues. So, yes, it can be life-changing if someone develops heart problems through dental infections.

Esspee Ever heard the phrase if you can't say something nice then say nothing at all?

Squiffy. You are changing her life? Really?

Waterpik, dental tape and Tepe interdental brushes are all used here. The waterpik uses rechargeable batteries.

Esspee We can’t do a lot about changing the world, but we can change someone’s life by being helpful!

OMG the world is going to hell in a hand basket and you're worried about floss holders!

As an aside, I pick up litter on my local beach almost every day. Floss forks/picks are one of the things I find most often. People must use them and put them down the toilet and then they end up in the sea.

I gave up on floss too. My dentist recommended a Waterpik waterflosser which I bought. Absolutely brilliant! I use it before brushing and so much easier than fiddling around with floss!

Gave up on floss - the little Teepee brushes are much easier and dentists seem to rate them too.
