Prokudent - Zahnseide (Dental Floss) - Black Sensitive
This is a dental floss with activated charcoal, which gives it it's cool black colour. It has a mint flavour.
The packaging is cool, you twist it to open and close it.
It is a thick floss (width-wise), which makes it great for removing anything between the teeth.
Price: 3/5 ($1.57 for 25m)
Effectiveness: 5/5
DenTek - Complete Clean - Zahnseide-Sticks
These are dental floss sticks with a little toothpick/interdental brush at the end and groves on the head that can act as a tongue scrapper.
I don't use the tongue scrapper part as I have a separate tongue scrapper.
The floss has a mint flavour which is delightful and makes your mouth seem fresher.
Flossing is important and these individual flosses are great.
You get 40 in a pack, so a bit over a month of floss picks.
I do wonder if there is a reusable floss holder that exists that you could restring, so I wouldn't be throwing out plastic each day, or a biodegradable version.
*These exist and I will try them!
Price: 5/5 ($2.45 for 40)
Scent: 5/5 (minty)
Effectiveness: 5/5
Monte-Bianco - Zahnseide fil Dentaire - Dental Floss
This is a silk dental floss with unscented beeswax, even part of the packaging is made from cornstarch!
It worked well as a dental floss but the packaging was quite annoying, the floss kept on getting lost in the packaging, which is annoying as all heck.
Overall, this was ok.
Price: 1/5 ($7.62 for 50m)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5
Oral B - Satin Tape dental floss
.
You may think, "Why review a dental floss?"... well, you should all floss and not all flosses are created equal.
This dental floss is wider than most and I don't quite know how I feel about it... it is probably a good thing.
Because it is so wide, it is less 'cutting' than other floss (less like a garrote for your gums) and it feels like it covers more area.
There is just something about the design though that makes me wonder if a wider tape is actually better or if it is just a marketing gimmick and may be worse for my mouth.
It doesn't splinter/fray though, which is always good.
I will probably buy it again. If you try it yourself, let me know what you think.
Price: 4/5 (rrp $3.99 for 25m)
Scent: 4/5 (minty fresh)
Effectiveness: 3/5
