Amazon Basics Extra Comfort Mint Dental Floss, 40 M, 1 Pack

This floss from Amazon Basics is the ideal replacement for the discontinued Original Glide.Years ago, Oral B (owned by Gillette) bought out Glide floss from the original manufacturers, and for many years I could count on getting this same great floss which Oral B called “Original Glide”. It was the first floss made with Gore Tex (PTFE) and it was the smoothest floss to get between the teeth. Alas, this original product is now discontinued, and has been replaced by a cheap inferior filament floss called “Healthy Gums”…with the word “Glide” now in small letters. This Oral B replacement for the Original Floss not only does NOT glide between the teeth, it sticks and pulls and leads you to worry that it might actually pull out a tooth. Plus, it curls up like a Christmas tree decoration so it’s hard to even maneuver. Fortunately, Amazon Basics makes this wonderful PTFE floss. It’s the best floss you can get nowadays. Doesn’t curl up. Super comfortable sliding between the teeth. Highly recommended. My new staple for daily tooth care.

Cheap! Works well

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)This Amazon Basics Extra Comfort Mint Dental Floss delivers smooth, invigorating minty freshness and effective plaque removal. The extra comfort filament slides easily between teeth without shredding, and the 40 m length means it lasts a long time. Great value for the price, though it’s not quite as durable as premium brands.

I wanted a dental floss that wasn’t thin and painful like so many others. This Amazon floss is great. The only downside is that it can be hard to pull out the amount of floss you need. But the floss itself is comfortable and works as desired.

A big box store stopped making my favorite floss so I switched to this one. It doesn't stick or split and it has a good minty taste. I wish it came in a 6 pack rather than 6 individual packs, though!

Great quality slide floss - well priced.

The first pack in the multi pack was in incredibly difficult to open and then once I got it open, the floss wouldn’t pull. It was like it was tangled. I pull so hard that the cassette opens and I see that my floss is all jumbled up and off of the spinning wheel. So I immediately had to pull off the wheel and restring my floss around the bobbin. Then reinstall the bobbin on the spinner rethread the floss close it all up and then I could use it. I actually haven’t used the floss yet although I compared it to my glide brand and it is much thinner I would say probably 1/3 the width. But no matter how well it flosses me if I even have to go through this once of restringing my floss and reloading the cartridge it’s too much. Forget about it. I wasn’t looking for diy floss.

Not the best in terms of dental floss. It brakes easily and falls apart.
