Removes plaque but leaves floss bits behind

Submitted 1 year ago

By Kath

From Alberta

Made up of many tiny hairlike strands, this flies no doubt cleans between teeth and around line but I often have to pick these next to invisible strands which have separated from the floss, from out between my teeth with a tweezer. If you have plenty of room between your teeth this may not be an issue.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Terrible floss

This has to be the worst floss I have ever used. If you have tight spaces it will fray and pull appart. I don't recommend this product at all.

This floss is fine!

I'm mystified by the negative reviews. This floss works fine for me, and it's hard to find non-mint floss these days. I detest mint.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Bad floss, doesn't seem waxed at all

Submitted 4 years ago

By Joanne

From Woodstock, ON

I was hoping it would be similar to equate waxed floss. I have to agree with the first reviews. It broke, snapped, frayed and was very hard to get in and out of tight teeth. I couldn't finish flossing. Will get equate tomorrow. The positive review person must have had large gaps between their teeth. And no, it's not because there's something wrong with our flossing techniques lol. Better to be honest so other people don't waste their money.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

The best that I've tried

Submitted 4 years ago

By Smiley

From Cambridge. ON

Just to counter the two negative reviews on this product: this was the best of the dental flosses I tried at Shoppers Drug Mart. You have to make a tradeoff between the degree of waxing vs the cleaning ability of the floss. I really wanted unwaxed dental floss because it has the best scrubbing action on my teeth and made them feel great after. Unfortunately, unwaxed floss is no longer available. Some flosses have more wax which allows them to slip between tight teeth easier but they do not do as good a cleaning job. This is OK if you just want to get stuck food from between your teeth but floss should also be used to clean the sides of your teeth as well. If your teeth are extremely close together then you might get some fraying and snapping but that is likely to occur with any floss unless it is heavily waxed which will minimize the cleaning effect. I never found that this floss frays or breaks often but I only have a few teeth that are close enough where this might happen. It may be the technique that you are using. Don't be so negative in your reviews!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Difficult to use

Submitted 4 years ago

By Sam634

From Ontario

I bought this as a possible replacement for my regular Listerine floss which has been discontinued by Johnson & Johnson. The Life floss appeared to be about the same thickness as the Listerine floss but was hard to get between my teeth. Maybe the reason is that the Life floss doesn't have very much wax. I won't be using the this Life floss.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Inadéquate, se dédouble en plusieurs filaments et il faut trouver une façon de déloger les fragments de soie coincés entre les dents.

Garbage

Submitted 6 years ago

By Annoyed Flosser

From Windsor

This floss is completely useless. It will fray in your mouth, snap, and get stuck in between your teeth completely defeating the point of even flossing. I need to buy new floss to get this garbage floss out of my mouth.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
