Flossaid Dental Floss Holder 4 pack

I was not a flosser. I usually flossed around 2-3 times a year prior to a dental appointment. But for some reason, after the last visit (and there really weren't any observable changes) I decided to start flossing. Flossed daily for a week, but decided that I needed an aid. The three tiny sample floss aids that the dental office gave me were essentially worthless, no tension as the tiny piece of floss quickly pulled through the holes in the cheap plastic. I ordered these and really like them. Some people complain about the “tongs” being too far apart, but I found that as I wrapped the floss over and around them and then the “spool” that I just squeezed the two tongs towards each other before wrapping the rest of the floss string around the spool. When the “tongs” were released, these then created tension on the floss, keeping it nice and tight. I can reach my back molars and wisdom teeth without any difficulty. One catch, and this is not a device issue, but I have several caps/crowns on my teeth. When manual flossing, I feed the floss down into the gap and then release one end of the string and pull the string through the gap rather than lifting it back out. With these, the tendency is to pull it back up and I’m a bit concerned about dislodging the crown. So I’ll have to do most of my teeth with the device and then come back through and manually do those other 2-3 tooth gaps. INSTRUCTIONS: Here is how I use them. Cut about 18+” of floss string. Wrap 3 winds around the spool. Then run the string through the channel, through the two notches, and back through the channel. Now squeeze the tongs together about 1/16” to 1/8” or so and while pulling the string snugly, wrap the rest around the spool (just like you would with your finger). Release the tongs and the string should be tight. Use the assembly to floss a number of teeth. If the string should show wear/separation, simply unwind the last segment of the string from the spool and the tongs, and wrap another loop around the spool (kind of like wrapping another loop around your finger) and run the string back through the channels and the take up spool. It only takes about 10-15 seconds to do so. Continue with the flossing. I can’t testify as to the longevity of the device, but they are cheap enough to replace if they get brittle over time. Some have reported they last around a year each. That is pretty decent in my book. Whether they last 3 months, 6 or 12, that is good enough for me at $2.25 each. It’s not a major expense. Give them a shot. Kindly give this a thumbs up if you find this helpful.

I could not floss my teeth without them. they only last so long and after awhile they break. but they are the best with their long handle.

So far I’ve only used one of them. It broke last night. Just checked, it lasted 3 1/2 years. I think that’s pretty good, especially as I still have a three more left from the multi-pack. I got them as I hate wrapping floss around my fingers, and I really hate all the plastic waste that comes with the disposal flossers. 3 1/2 years equates to about 1300 uses. If I had used disposable flossers I think the plastic would be significantly higher than this one reusable flosser. As a flosser they work good. Easy to use and clean. As I have 3 more, if that last another 10 years I would buy again.

This review is for the Dental Floss Holder 4 pack by FLOSSAID that I bought in 2018. Today is Feb 2025. They still hold up! Haven't broken one. I gave one as a gift, use one regularly, one for travel, and one for spare. They are sturdy plastic, not flimsy, and the floss stays wrapped on it. Not much else to say, I guess. It does make flossing much easier than pushing fingers into my mouth! LOL.

I prefer to use the small individual floss sticks to floss, but I didn't like how wasteful it is. I wanted to have a reusable floss holder so that I would hopefully floss more and waste less. However, these products are a waste. The floss does not stay on the holder, it falls off very easily. The product itself is VERY large which is uncomfortable in your mouth. Maybe this product isn't for me, but is actually for someone who needs more accessibility and assistance.

I figured I'd give these floss holders a try as an alternative to finger-wrapping numbness. My teeth are close together and I have a small-ish mouth. I only use Glide-type floss. The two biggest issues with these floss holders are: 1) The two arms are way too far apart, and 2) no matter how many times I wrap the floss around the wheel, even holding it in place with my finger alongside the wheel, slack always develops. #2 compounds #1. A small amount of slack combined with arms so far apart means I'm constantly hitting the roof or floor of my mouth trying to develop enough force to squeeze the floss between my teeth. If the arms were half as far apart, it would be a significantly better product.

I've been using these for years. They are a bit bigger than similar flossers, and that makes them easier to use. I have found that they last about 2 years, then break and need to be replaced. It is better to buy several, then put the extras in a drawer so you'll have them on hand when the old one breaks.

Colors are standard. Each item is huge though! The tines are about an 1” wide. Definitely not suitable for children or those with less mobile jaws. Returned without opening. The handle is long enough for a one size fits all label. The mechanism to thread the floss is poorly designed. You would not be able to get a fresh piece easily.

This handle makes it really easy to reach your back teeth.

I’ve been using Flossaid for decades! The product is well made and unless you stand on it they last for ages. My dentist recommended it to me and as I can’t floss without it I’ll be using it until I have dentures! Figtreeburg offer an excellent service my Flossaid arrived before I expected them to. A very good company to do business with.

Perfeito.

Producto práctico par el aseo con hilo dental, el tamaño permite una fácil manipulación y el plástico se percibe de buena calidad. Satisfecho con la compra
