Customer Reviews of Reach Gentle Gum Care Woven Dental Floss, Fresh Mint, 50-Yard Dispensers (Pack of 9)
Customer Review: Woven floss is my favorite!
Summary: 4 Stars
Typical dental floss is a single large thread. It was by accident that I tried woven (of many small threads) floss, after I bought a package without realizing it was different. I tried it and found the woven floss had more traction on my fingers (that is, it wasn't as slippery, and it pinched my fingers less), so I found it easier to floss with. It may be the rougher surface of the woven threads does a better job cleaning between the teeth, but that's just my speculation. On the negative side, the woven floss may break and leave threads in your teeth; something that never happens with the normal floss. It's a problem, but you'll develop a sense of when the individual threads are starting to stress, which is your warning to move on to a fresh spot before the whole thing breaks. On the whole, I'd rather use the woven floss. If you're not entirely satisfied with your current floss, you might try a single pack of woven floss and see how it works for you. You may have to look around, because not everybody carries it, and it also costs a bit more. If you like it, this 9-pack from Amazon is a good deal.Customer Review: Makes you actually WANT to floss
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit I was blessed enough to have good teeth- no cavities, sensitivity, or extra work necessary beyond a routine cleaning. A couple of years back, my dentist gave me this floss with the little "goodbye" packet of floss and a toothbrush after a cleaning. When I first saw it I was horrified- how is this ROPE supposed to fit between my teeth?! However, after a few uses, I found that not only was I able to easily slide the floss between my teeth but also comfortably use this floss without feeling the sharp sting I had previously felt using waxed floss- no more bleeding gums... ever. Plus, the minty floride powder left behind made my teeth feel extra clean and sparkly. Four years later I am still using this floss, but am horrified at how difficult it is to find in stores! I religiously floss my teeth, and even carry an extra roll in my purse for when I'm out and get the urge (or am within 50 yards of corn on the cob). AMAZING product, changed the way I thought about flossing.Customer Review: Reach Gentle Gum Care
Summary: 5 Stars
My dental hygienist recommended this floss to me a couple of years ago and I've been using it ever since. It really helps clean the teeth well *and* is gentle on gums. My local Wallyworld stopped carrying it, so I found it here in bulk and ordered it.
The texture is different from what you're used to with traditional flosses. This is softer -- my hygienist calls it "teddy bear" floss. Also, if you're used to flosses like Glide, this one can sometimes be a little harder to squeeze in between tight teeth, but it's worth it for the cleaning.
Customer Review: Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
After using Glide for several years and purchasing it at a good price at Sam's Club, I was reluctant to change floss. However, this woven floss was recommended to me at my last visit to the Ohio State University Dental Clinic. I purchased it first at the local Wal-mart, paying what I thought was way too much. The floss itself was OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR. This led me to an online search. I was delighted to find that Amazon has such a good deal on a quantity order.Customer Review: Reach Gentle Gum Care - Unwaxed
Summary: 5 Stars
This product (#9329) is unavailable in all the local stores. Johnson & Johnson admits the product that is readily available (#9330-Flouride) is WAXED even though it is not labeled as such. I think this is FALSE ADVERTISING. AMAZON is the only place I could find this wonderful floss and buying eight is not really an inconvenience. Thank you AMAZON for making it available......
