GUM Professional Clean Flossers Fresh Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This product is very high quality and durable!"
• "Strong threads that clean thoroughly while almost never breaking early."
• "The floss thread is the strongest I have ever used."
• "Very strong. Won't break no matter how tight teeth are together."
• "The material is thin but strong. Very nice quality."
• "These are such a good quality item. I have had problems with cheaper ones breaking floss after a couple of seconds, these don't break."
• "These are the strongest flossers that I have found."

Cons:

• "If you floss each and every tooth properly, it will fray by the time you get to the end of one row."
• "Every time I use these, the floss winds up shedding multiple times."
• "Way too thick/ large, they are painful to use, hard to fit into my mouth and also hard to get the floss in between my teeth."
• "The actual floss is really thick, so our family doesn’t like it. The pointy end is so unstable that it’s useless."
• "These flossers are of VERY poor quality - the flosser thread is so weak that it breaks even before I am done with even one side of my teeth."
• "Can’t even finish with one pick before it shreds and breaks."
• "These are absolutely terrible, they immediately start shredding on the first tooth, by the last one it feels like I'm putting hair in my mouth."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "They were an extremely excellent price. I got 90 picks for under $3."
• "This is a good product, very convenient to use, the items arrived on time and this seller’s price is better compared to other prices."
• "From time to time it costs at a low price of about 5-6$, add it to your cart and watch if you can be patient."
• "Wow... I’ve been going to Walmart every other month in getting a pack of these but lucky me, I was able to come across a cheaper price through Amazon here."
• "Amazon sells 60 more pics for about the same price; what a deal!"
• "The bonus is that price on Amazon is even better than my local stores, love it!!!"
• "These are $0.50 cheaper than the same package at Walmart and I don’t even have to leave my home!"

Cons:

• "These are garbage that I paid a premium and shipping for."
• "Not the same design as the posted pictures... The floss shreds too easily as well."
• "Questionable purchase at current price of 11-12$ though."
• "Bought these (great) flossers about a year ago and just ran out. Checked to buy again and the price TRIPLED!"
• "A grand 'pass,' here, upon the price gouge and hike: 🔺235%, for convenience, in five months, @GUM?"
• "I regret getting a bundle pack."
• "I was so mad when they arrived I did not even think about trying to get them replaced. Bait and switch."

Design and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "I was happy to find it on Amazon. This is so much simpler than constantly searching through different stores for it."
• "These just make it so easy in the evening to floss and toss. Love it."
• "Thin tip is great for getting into the hard to reach areas."
• "Especially like the pointed end designed for access between teeth."
• "Easiest to use and most effective of the dental floss picks I've used."
• "They seem to last for more than 1 use."
• "These flossers actually make flossing an easy and pleasurable task."

Cons:

• "These GUM floss picks are not bad, but they are a little awkward to use, for me."
• "This is still my favorite flosser. The floss doesn't pull out of where it is attached to the plastic like other brands do, but I don't like the new design and the new plastic is too flimsy."
• "The pointed tip however is thin and bends easily."
• "These aren't too bad as far as discount floss picks go but they are not fun to use."
• "The problem is that they break very, very easily so you end up using 2-3 picks per flossing episode."
• "These are a great idea and work fine if you have no very tight teeth or crowns. If you get stuck with a tight fit, it's very hard to remove one of these."
• "My only gripe is that the floss on these seems a little thicker than the other brand we used before."
