Plackers Dental Flossers Micro Mint - 90 Count

Great for getting tricky bits from between teeth. Great price, too, and speedy delivery.

I was worried about buying these as over the years I struggle to find good floss picks that don't snap in use - and have settled for years on an American type that Tesco used to sell - but no more, sadly. These seemed similar in that many reviewers comments on the un-breakability of the floss string. With tightly spaced teeth, I can easily snap floss like it's going out of fashion. But these have proved to be the best floss picks I've used so far. The previous type from Tesco was more of a tape than these - which has floss that is a fine cord. Initially, I found this thinness tended to hurt my gums just a little more, but I also found that I was removing more tartar and debris from my teeth than with the previous type, which did surprise me as I thought floss was floss and that was that! Anyhow, perseverance paid off and now I would not be without these. The shape seems large initially, but again, this has proven to be a bonus as it means that you can more easily grip the holder and thus can more easily reach all areas of the teeth - even the back of the rear molars become easily accessible for cleaning. Top notch!

Like many others I had previously found flossing to be a chore which I tended to avoid, but these things just make it so easy. I recommend to anyone who dislikes the idea of medical professionals drilling holes in their teeth. They are also really well built - after going through a few of them (and enjoying the minty taste they provide), I was struck with the revelation that, just as I reuse a tooth brush rather than throwing it away after a few days use, so too can I reuse these. And reusable they are - your mileage may perhaps vary depending on the topography of your mouth, but at least in my case I can easily use each one for over a month. That means my pack of 90, for £7.50, will last me over 7 years daily use. And considering how convenient they are, they have certainly become a permanent part of my daily routine.

This is a great set of floss picks, in my opinion the best value for money as you get 90 flossers for just over £4, whereas I have seen a lot of other brands which sell only 30 flossers for the same price. These are very easy to get in and out between your teeth and the mint flavour is not too over-powering. Also, even though it is quite thin it is surprising quite strong and I have not had any break on me yet (this being the third pack I have brought). These are perfect if you have a full set of teeth without any wide gaps. However, if like me, you have had a few teeth taken out as a child and had braces then the gaps between some teeth will be larger than some others. So for the larger gaps, these flossers don't work as well as they are too thin, and I would recommend to use interdental brushes instead.

Always purchase this brand. Floss fine enough to fit between my teeth. Best brand I’ve tried.

They do what it says on the packet!

Great product

Tried and tested product. I always find normal floss difficult to use in difficult to reach areas. This product has strong floss and isnt prone to break like competitors. The extra prong is useful when needed and doesnt cause interference. 10/10
