Biodegradable Dental Floss by TreeBird | Refillable & Reusable Zero Waste Steel Dispenser | 3x33yd Waxed Natural Cruelty Free Peace Silk Spools | 100% Compostable | Eco Friendly Plastic Free Oral Care

I have close-together, tight teeth and even the hygienist has trouble flossing my teeth, so I knew this might be challenging. Yes, the first time I tried using this floss it broke, but once I got the hang of it, I now like it a lot, and have not had any breaks. It seems that the trick to removing it between teeth is to pull it to a new, waxed portion of the floss. It does feel like it does a better cleaning job once it's between teeth than the Glide Pro-Health, and now I have the reassurance of not ingesting any noxious chemicals.

They work great for me. It's worth the try. I love that they have refills and it's environmentally friendly. Less waste and it keeps my teeth clean. Win/Win.It comes with a nice reusable container. I love that.

After three months of daily (occasionally twice daily) use, I've finished one spool of this floss. I really like it! It's sturdy and I like that it has a bit of texture to it. I feel like it is actually doing something to clean my teeth and I love knowing I'm not putting more plastic in my body or the environment afterwards! I have a couple teeth that are a little tight and it's harder to get between, so I can see it being more challenging to use if one has tightly spaced teeth. I haven't had any issues with the floss breaking or shredding. I also love the little reuseable dispenser!

Breaks more easily, than I expected. But it’s not plastic so, the trade off is worth it. Holds up pretty well.

Followed their directions but the floss breaks easily and impossible to use unless you have wide tooth spacing. Would return it if I could.I was able to return the floss for a full refund*****

I have used Oral-B Glide dental floss most of my adult life but have gradually tried to become more environmentally proactive. I love the Treebird reusable stainless steel container. The floss did not shred at all, nor did it break any more than Oral-B Glide does occasionally. Unfortunately, I had a difficult time getting it between my close positioned teeth. I would definitely recommend this dental floss to people whose teeth have a little more spacing, as it seems to be a great product.

This floss has clear environmental and health advantages over plastic floss, but it's less durable. I never had a problem breaking plastic floss, but when I first got this, I would break it every time. It was frustrating and wasteful. To be fair, I have closely spaced teeth, which worsens this problem. Over the past five months, however, I've learned how to prevent this with two changes to how I floss.First, I've found silk floss is pretty strong along its length, but not along its width, so when removing it from between teeth, I pull it straight up through my teeth rather than on an angle. This also avoids the sharp edges at the top of teeth. If it gets stuck, I let go of one end and pull it out sideways. I would never do this with plastic floss because once plastic floss gets wet, it slides off my fingers. This floss doesn't have that problem as much.Second, this floss is more easily frayed by use, even when avoiding a sawing motion as TreeBird advises. To combat that, I move to a different section of floss after each quadrant of teeth. This takes a little more floss, but it's effective.These changes were inconvenient at first, but now they're habit. I still occasionally break this floss, but that happens about once a month now rather than daily. That's well worth avoiding PFAS and microplastics.I rate this four stars for solving the problems of plastic floss, but not five, because even with changes in use, it's still less durable than traditional floss.

The relatively thick, textured floss seems to clean better than most, and I didn't experience more frequent breakage even though my teeth are packed pretty closely together. I don't get a mint flavor from it, but that's OK. So far, the steel container is a big improvement over glass, as far as I am concerned.
