Easy to thread.....

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023

I love the fact that this floss is easy to thread under my bridge. This floss has the right thickness and never breaks, a few times it has frayed a little, but not enough to hurt the use of the floss. It has no flavor, but would be AWESOME if it had a slight mint flavor. It's the only floss I can find that is easy to use with my bridge of three teeth.

limp leader

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021

The threader/leader end on the floss was crimped in the packaging process. Each leader has a crimp/bend which basically renders it useless. Think of having a needle and thread, with a hinge on the pointy end of the needle. Using a razor to cut off the front 1/8th of the threader allows me to salvage the floss, but I have to do this with each and every package. Also the floss delaminates a little, leaving strands that I must pull out of my dental work.

Not what I'd expect for the price. Beyond that its a very good idea, and would be super convenient. I prefer the idea to using a separate threader like "EEZ-THRU". I may give it one more try, hopefully I just got a bad batch.

Lastly, I've not had any issues with knotting, as others seem to have experienced. I open the individual package where it says to on the side, and give it a shake from the "leader" end, and it cleanly unravels for me.

Much better than old-school blue plastic threaders

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2016

When I was younger, I had tons of orthodontic work and had to use the old school blue plastic threaders with regular floss. My daughter got her braces on this past Spring and they sent her home with a ton of those blue threaders. I thought, "Oh, great, she's going to get so frustrated." After looking more in her sample bag from the orthodontist, they had included one sample of these Oral-B Threader Floss packets. I opened the package and was amazed and slightly jealous that they didn't have these "back in the day" lol. After trying each of the types of threaders, my daughter was in love with these (as much as you can love flossing I guess, lol). My mom visited recently and she has a permanent retainer on the bottom. She spotted the pack and started going on and on about how much she loved them and she was glad she didn't have to use the blue plastic ones in order to floss.

They seem pretty durable. My daughter says that the floss will shred if it gets hooked on a bracket, but that's rare and would happen with any type of floss I think (she said maybe once a month that this happens). The hardened tip makes it easy for her to thread in between the brackets and seems to hold up for the entire flossing session (unless it shreds, then she gets another).

The price is comparable to what we would pay at the grocery store locally if you just order one packet. I use the Subscribe & Save and it makes it to where they are slightly cheaper, plus I don't have to worry about running to the store if she runs out. Definitely recommend for anyone with orthodontic work.

The absolute best travel floss!

I recently got braces and remembered how much I hate the plastic threaders the orthodontist give you. Nothing is wrong with them but I personally don’t like how big the eye of the needle is.

I love these. They are perfect if you still commute to work or if you want to have some in your purse for lunch or dinner out with friends. They are definitely sturdier than the “Super threaders” which I believe are also from this brand. Those get caught in the metal and stripped leaving you with threads knitted in your braces. The plastic part that is supposed to help you thread through the braces are nowhere near as sturdy as these making it harder and take longer to floss.

I wish they had this floss in that packaging for home use because I am a little weary of the waste from the single use packets. Sadly these have been harder to find and are out of stock everywhere so I’m hoarding these for travel and using the large eye threaders from the orthodontist until I find something else.

Quality and convenience at reasonable price

Each pre-measured piece of floss is wrapped in its own sterile wrap. Very convenient and easy to cary. The stiff end is easy to thread under a bridge or between teeth. You pay for this though. It is more expensive than regular floss, but not the most expensive in its category. Quality is high. There are very few duds or knotted pieces. I'd say maybe one if a few hundred comes with a knot that prevents its use. This is a good stat for this type of product.

This product gets high praise from us. The way they make the floss threader is very stiff on one end which makes it easy to use. It may cost a little more but it’s definitely worth it. Superior to other flossers, we have tried.

I am happy with my product I have been using this for over 3 years. I am not happy that it took 11 days to get to my address. I have called customer service to complain. I am a Prime Member and an order should not take that long to arrive. When I placed the order, there was not any indication that the product was back ordered. Thank you
