Excellent A little bit awkward at first but perseverance and time has helped - I would buy again (but I don’t expect I will need too) Much more environmentally friendly than most toothpicks

This stainless steel flosser, on the right, is roughly a copy of the flosser type I have been using for years, pictured on left, with two differences; it is a tad smaller which is not a big deal, and it is unbreakable, which IS a big deal. The plastic one, brand name Flossaid, is an excellent tool and is the only reason I floss daily, because I refuse to put my several fingers in my mouth to floss, daily, using the floss and fingers method. Way too unhygenic. And the little plastic disposable ones are too small, I still need to put fingers in mouth to reach back teeth, too flimsy, and too wasteful. Disposable means wasteful. The big drawback to the Flossaid and similar products is they always break after a few months of use. One tine always breaks off near the handle. So they need to be replaced frequently. This cost adds up $$$. I just did a first use of the metal one and it feels like using the plastic Flossaid, just a tad smaller and heavier. The major point here, to me, is that the steel one will never break! I am very happy to have found this product. Tip: Wrap 10 or 20 yards of floss tightly around the handle. When you need to reload the fork to floss again just unwrap a few inches and put it across the tines. Each reload will be much faster than and less fumbling than reaching for the floss box. Waxed floss stays in place on the handle much better than unwaxed floss. Dentist joke: "Only floss the ones you want to keep!"

This would be a good product if there was a way to thread the floss through the top of the pick’s arms instead of just an open sided holder for it. When I pull the floss out from between my teeth it comes out of the holder and needs to be rethreaded, which is tedious for every tooth.

In the pics this looks like a metal version of the Flossaid floss holders I've been using for years. Since I broke my last Flossaid I figured I'd give this a try since it is made from stainless steel. It is not nearly as good as Flossaid. Not even close. For starters, the area where you string the floss across is about half as big as Flossaid's is. This gives you almost no length of floss with which to scrape back and forth between your teeth. The handle is also a lot shorter which makes it much harder to hold onto and control. Finally, the metal is heavy and thick enough that if you slip with it (which is easy to do because of its miniscule proportions) you will absolutely damage ypur teeth. So what seemed like a great design idea at first (metal) is actually a very bad idea. The tool will never break, but your teeth definitely will.

4JUN26 There seems to be a bit of misinformation concerning the floss wrapping around the screw. As far as I can determine the only purpose for ever loosening the screw is to remove trapped floss. Also, if you wrap the floss backwards, the screw tends to unscrew itself, and it quickly attempts to find a path to the sink drain. lol The surface of the screw is tapered to pinch the floss tightly. I've found that wrapping clockwise (at least one turn over itself to create an effective pinch) works well. Then follow up the left runner and back down through the right runner. Before terminating the floss with two clockwise wraps, I squeeze the ends together to make them act as a spring. This is done with plastic flossers too. The action of squeezing and pulling the floss while wrapping creates a taut fit that works well. CAUTION! Wrongly using this tool can easily crash the floss into your gums and make them bleed. This happens because teeth mostly touch each other creating a tight spot. Forcing floss directly downward toward the gum can easily cause injury. Generally, sliding the floss sideways, along its axis, alleviates this issue. Unfortunately, the distance to slide is less than you'd have with loose floss. So, you tend to press harder, and ouch! The trick is to gently slide the floss back and forth until you're past this 'pinch zone'. It took me three or four flossing sessions before I was injury free.
