I've tried many different types of flossers and for me at least, this type is the most effective and keeps me flossing daily. The two strings one right on top of the other contained in a small hand-held unit, makes for a very effective flosser that doesn't involve under or overestimating the amount of flossing string you cut off in one of those other types.But the big differentiator with this one is that it's eco-friendly, not adding more plastic to the environment. Unfortunately plastic is super cheap, and so you can find similar plastic products for about 10 or 20% of the price of these. I'm hoping the price of these can be lowered to make them more affordable, but to be honest these are not "expensive" - they amount to about $2.70 per month, or about $2 or $2.50 more than plastic, which to me is SO worth it to reduce the amount of plastic being produced.I tried the "charcoal" flavor, which is also supposed to be minty. Maybe my tastebuds are shot, but personally I didn't taste any mint, nor did I taste anything I would call "charcoal." Basically just tasted plain to me. That's fine, as I normally don't get flavored floss, so if you are looking for a more plain flavor, I might try this one rather than the "mint" variety.The only thing about these that I'm not in love with is the pointy part at the end of the flosser. It's not a big deal, but some other flossers I've used don't have this pointy part exposed, you have to kind of unfold it, which means it's a bit safer when handling it in a pack without a lot of light, etc. It's not like you're going to break the skin, but I've poked myself occasionally with similarly designed flossers, which is why I prefer the fold-out ones when I have the choice.

I am not great about flossing, at the end of the day, I am tired. I am more likely to do it when I am sitting in bed or on the couch watching tv. I decided I was going to get something that I would put near each of the TVs in the house, and just maybe I would get better about flossing. Sounds good in theory right?These came in two options, a Cool Mint flavor, and a Charcoal. Well, I went with my beloved Cool Mint. Overall happy with these, but there are a few things I am not thrilled with. I have used several now and not a single one has shredded or broken on me. They are made from corn starch, and I have noticed a lot of things being made with this. It surprisingly feels like plastic. I did find it to be fairly sturdy.These are smaller than other brands I have tried in the past and are more curved at the base, but do a nice job acting as a pick. They are a nice size and are easily able to fit around my teeth and I am able to move them around my mouth easily.
