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 have had these types of flosser before. I really like using them.

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.

The best dental protection ever.

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'm sure if you have a larger mouth, these would be nicer. They were very sturdy plastic, but that ended up being a negative, as I had a hard time squeezing the head together tightly enough not to have the floss snap off a quarter of the way through flossing. The head doesn't really hold the floss in the channel enough. I did find the wrapping wheel to be very good quality, though.

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 specifically got this pack so I had 4 diff. Colors for my 4 kids to use. So no fighting everyone nos what color is thiers.. but 3 came yellow so didnt work for us and a waste of money for my family.. if they came the 4 diff colors it would be worth it and I'd be happy.

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.

GREAT!!! Much easier to floss with this then without.

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

We used to use disposable flosser picks to floss the kids' teeth but we didn't like the amount of waste they created so we bought these as an alternative. I was a bit worried as they are a bit big but we didn't have any problems flossing the kids' mouths (aged 3 and 5). For the first couple of times using it, it was a bit tricky to get the floss on it but after about a week, it became quite easy. They do a great job and best of all, drastically reduce cost and waste of one-time floss picks. Highly recommended!
