I switched to flosser-picks decades ago. Before then, my dentist would always tell me I needed to floss more. Never since! Now, it's just a habit to use one of these after I eat.I've changed brands a few times over the years in search of the "perfect" flosser, but have stuck with this one for 5+ years now. I also like the little plastic boxes they come in - easy to place at various places where you're likely to need one, like in the car, your desk drawer, right next to your easy chair/sofa/wherever you watch movies at home, in the kitchen, and of course in the bathroom.Plus they offer a bag of individually-wrapped flossers. I mostly use the little boxes but it's worth occasionally getting that bag so you can keep an individual flosser in your pocket.That's part of it for me: having these things EVERYWHERE so I don't have any excuse not to use them!My problem with many of the other brands I've tried over the years is their plastic is too soft. That lets the little arms holding the floss bend and go slack, but you want that floss string nice and taut to work between your teeth.Then on others they use floss string that easily shreds, then breaks before you're done using it!These flossers seem to have gotten the formula just right: stiff plastic, and good quality floss that resists shredding. Plus I appreciate the sharp point on the toothpick end.
