Oral B Glide Floss Picks 30 count Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "These are hands down the best floss picks for flossing your back teeth!"
• "Easy to use, especially reaching the back teeth."
• "Handy. Easy to use and throw away when done."
• "Each floss stick has a ribbed grip on the end so you can get a good hold on the floss stick."
• "The shape makes it easy to reach every area and they don't tear as easily as some other brands of floss."
• "This floss being perpendicular to the handle makes it extremely easy to get to the back teeth."
• "They are shaped like dental instruments (or mini slingshots) which allows you to maneuver the floss around the base of the tooth to clean it as thoroughly as your hygienist always told you."

Cons:

• "But they break supper easy and we are very disappointed."
• "I probably average more than two of these each time I floss my teeth because the string keeps breaking."
• "Every one of them has broken when I start to use them."
• "It's very common that a brand new one will break during its first use."
• "By the time I flossed my bottom teeth, the floss was completely broken."
• "The floss breaks far too easily. In this regard they are no better than others I have purchased."
• "I broke 3 of them the first time I tried flossing my teeth with this version."

Design and Quality

Pros:

• "These are the strongest floss and the bend of the plastic is perfect for me to be able to floss and take care of my teeth."
• "I’ve been using these for almost 10 years. The angle on this floss picks make them so easy to use."
• "This is the best tooth closer, we have found. Since it is built to tension during use, real flossing can occur."
• "Doesn't break apart like some of the cheaper brands."
• "You can pinch the bottom together to effectively stretch and tighten the floss to make it easier to get the tension you need."
• "Fits great in closely spaced teeth without shredding and popping."
• "The strings never break on me and they do glide easily between my teeth."

Cons:

• "The quality of the floss has deteriorated. The tensile strength has been compromised allowing for a weaker floss."
• "I'm so disappointed in this product now. It use to be my very, all-time favorite but now they have cheapened the quality of the thread."
• "The squeeze grip has too little movement to be helpful and is at an uncomfortable angle."
• "The only con is that the toothpick end of the handle is a bit flimsy."
• "The way they're shaped means you have extremely little control over the string and its orientation with your teeth."
• "The flat floss is a pain. It always lies flat when you try to put in between your teeth, loosening the tension and ripping it to shreds."
• "These were awful... They are too bulky for the mouth."

Environmental Concerns

Pros:

• "I wish there was a version that didn't use plastic, like a biodegradable version - hopefully that will come soon."
• "I wish they could make them with less plastic, though, for environmental reasons."

Cons:

• "I know these are the worst things for the environment."
• "I love the design of these, but I learned recently they were found to have perfluorinated chemicals in the floss (Teflon basically). That’s a dealbreaker for me."
• "Google Oral-B PFAS and you will find many articles from 2019 that state that it has tested positive for fluorine."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I only need one of these to floss my whole mouth so the price definitely seems worth it!"
• "They are also value for money and I wouldn’t use anything else."
• "Well worth the price."
• "Spend a little extra and get these. In the long run you get more because every other one doesn't break."
• "They are stupidly expensive, but worth it for your gum health."

Cons:

• "I cannot believe this seller is seriously price gouging flossers."
• "Expensive and essentially a waste of money since they don't work for me at all."

Availability

Pros:

• "Hoping Amazon carries these til the end of time."
• "So happy they are sold on Amazon."
• "I am so glad I can still buy them on Amazon."
• "Very happy to find them on Amazon."

Cons:

• "Hard to find locally."
• "Now I can't find them in stores."
• "They aren't for sale at my local pharmacy any longer."
• "For some reason these are so hard to find in stores, but they’re the only ones my husband will use."
• "I was saddened that the stores in my area stopped carrying them but super happy I can still buy them here on Amazon!"
