Biodegradable Dental Floss by TreeBird | Refillable & Reusable Zero Waste Steel Dispenser | 3x33yd Waxed Natural Cruelty Free Peace Silk Spools | 100% Compostable | Eco Friendly Plastic Free Oral Care

I have read that traditional floss is made of nylon and Teflon, synthetic materials that are not good for our health or the environment. This floss gives me the peace of mind that I am not putting Teflon into my mouth, and I am not throwing synthetic nylon material into landfills.

Love this floss. Very nice stainless steel dispenser which I don't have to worry about breaking. No breakage on the floss either. It's slightly thicker floss than regular glide and that's good for me as my teeth are fairly spaced. I was actually using Reach Dentotape before this, and that's even thicker! But, Reach don't list their ingredients at all and I'm sure there's some BS in there 😆With everything out there containing some sort of BS trying to kill us, floss is just one more thing to get right. Glad to have found the answer with this floss.

Breaks more easily, than I expected. But it’s not plastic so, the trade off is worth it. Holds up pretty well.

I have close-together, tight teeth and even the hygienist has trouble flossing my teeth, so I knew this might be challenging. Yes, the first time I tried using this floss it broke, but once I got the hang of it, I now like it a lot, and have not had any breaks. It seems that the trick to removing it between teeth is to pull it to a new, waxed portion of the floss. It does feel like it does a better cleaning job once it's between teeth than the Glide Pro-Health, and now I have the reassurance of not ingesting any noxious chemicals.

I bought this product because I was interested in something more eco friendly of course. The fact that it is cruelty free is a good bonus. I also like the floss container. But that was the only good thing about this floss.I found the floss too thick and it snags in between my teeth. It just isn't as good as even a cheap Reach floss. Other floss brands glide better between the teeth this. This is more like a thick thread. It is very unnatural and uncomfortable to use. The constant snagging makes the floss prone to breaking. I broke it 3 times in a row this morning and got fed up. My teeth tend to feel a bit sore after using this floss. My gums are prone to bleeding while using it. I also don't think the floss cleans as well as other brands. I purchased cocofloss to replace this floss. At the end of the day this product isn't very eco friendly if it is so unenjoyable that you don't want to use it up.

Made in China. Doesn't seem very eco-friendly manufacturing and shipping across the world. Pseudo environmentalist product with minimal regulations in manufacturing.Functionally works ok. Not as durable as the petroleum based flosses - but alas, they're also bad for you. Pick your poison, I guess.

This floss has clear environmental and health advantages over plastic floss, but it's less durable. I never had a problem breaking plastic floss, but when I first got this, I would break it every time. It was frustrating and wasteful. To be fair, I have closely spaced teeth, which worsens this problem. Over the past five months, however, I've learned how to prevent this with two changes to how I floss.First, I've found silk floss is pretty strong along its length, but not along its width, so when removing it from between teeth, I pull it straight up through my teeth rather than on an angle. This also avoids the sharp edges at the top of teeth. If it gets stuck, I let go of one end and pull it out sideways. I would never do this with plastic floss because once plastic floss gets wet, it slides off my fingers. This floss doesn't have that problem as much.Second, this floss is more easily frayed by use, even when avoiding a sawing motion as TreeBird advises. To combat that, I move to a different section of floss after each quadrant of teeth. This takes a little more floss, but it's effective.These changes were inconvenient at first, but now they're habit. I still occasionally break this floss, but that happens about once a month now rather than daily. That's well worth avoiding PFAS and microplastics.I rate this four stars for solving the problems of plastic floss, but not five, because even with changes in use, it's still less durable than traditional floss.

I wanted a floss without the BPA and other unhealthy residues. This floss fits the bill. It is also more comfortable wrapped around the fingers than the nylon floss which leaves uncomfortable indentations for a while. Some have written about silk floss breakage in tight spaces. I have several very tight spaces and sometimes I get a floss break but not often. No biggy. If I am careful in technique it is fine most of the time. The benefits outweigh the minus.
