GUM Flossmate Reusable Floss Handle, Environmentally Friendly, Dental Floss Picks for Plaque Removal and Gum Health 1 ct.(Pack of 3)

I’ve tried a lot of disposable floss picks over the years, so I decided to try the GUM Flossmate to cut down on waste and make flossing easier. After a couple of weeks of use, I’m honestly glad I made the switch. The first setup takes a minute to figure out how to wrap the floss correctly, but once you get the hang of it, it’s quick and simple. The floss stays secure and doesn’t slip while using it, which was my main concern. I also like being able to use my preferred floss instead of being stuck with preloaded picks. What really surprised me is how much easier it is to reach the back teeth. The handle gives better control, keeps the floss taut, and feels more effective at getting between tight spots. It’s also much more comfortable on my hands, especially for thorough flossing. The handles feel sturdy and well-made, and since you’re only replacing the floss, it’s a much less wasteful option. The only downside is that it’s not as fast as grabbing a disposable pick if you’re in a hurry, but for me, the trade-off is worth it. Overall, if you want a more controlled, durable, and eco-friendly way to floss, this is a solid choice. I actually prefer it over regular flossing now.

Just wanted to share how I use this product, which I think makes it better! Thanks to R.L.K. for the initial idea. Like R.L.K. I initially wrap the floss around the button, then I wrap a bunch of floss around the handle and then thread it through the slots and back onto the button. However, if you do this, you end up with used floss at the end and you will hurt your fingers trying to break it off of you need to use scissors. But if you open a plastic floss container up, you can extract the little metal cutter piece, and I just crimped that onto the bottom of the flosser handle using channel lock pliers (as seen in the picture). Now you can cut off the used floss and it’s much easier to reload the flosser!

Works just ok. The floss keeps coming loose. I only use it when I can't reach the very back teeth, sometimes my fingers can do it and sometimes when the arthritis is acting up, they can't and then I use it.

This is so helpful for flossing my 4 y/o’s teeth! A godsend! Does not use more floss than manual flossing, holds it securely, can see very well while flossing someone else’s mouth. So much easier. I don’t prefer it for my own flossing, but it works well and can’t see a reason anyone would give it a bad review

Those work great! So much better than using my fingers into my mouth or disposable flossers and you can use your own choice of floss. It is a bit bigger than disposable ones but it works so well I prefer it to the small ones now. While it is not the cheapest, mine has lasted years and saved me and the environment a lot of waste, so I think it is well worth the investment. I’m getting more so I can keep a spare in my travel kit.

Floss doesn't always want to stay tight even if I wrap extra string. Wish they had a better way to lock in the string. Size is a little large but you get used to it. Quality is good but for plastic, these seem overpriced and I would not buy again. When the floss holds, these are acceptable, but when it doesn't, they are annoying, which seems like half the time.

Not sure if it’s just user error but I’m not exactly sure how you’re supposed to advance the floss as to not reuse the same section of floss for your whole mouth. If it were easier to use it would absolutely be worth it but it has not proven easy. Better off just using your fingers like normal. If you get the floss wrapped on nicely it does stay taut, however. Read a couple of reviews saying the floss won’t stay on tightly and didn’t have this issue after wrapping it on snugly.

These are awesome! Easy to use Reusable and over time cost effective for us. We've even washed in the dishwasher (not sure if that is on the instructions) but they held up. They are great for travel and make flossing for the kids and the elderly much easier. Made in USA.

These are great quality & the most useful tool!

Each of the three items in this package carries a reading that states: "Purchased for you by your dental professional." It seems these were not meant for resale on the retail market. Would give no stars if permitted.
