4.0 out of 5 stars Not Perfect, But I Can't Live Without It, June 16, 2010

This review is from: BUTLER DENT FLOSBRUSH MINT Size: 861RA (Health and Beauty)

I've been using the Butler flossbrush for years. I find it's the only flosser that feels comfortable in my mouth and reaches everywhere. I really hate to wrap floss around my fingers (cuts off the circulation!) and find I can't floss hard enough or correctly.

Yes, it is true about what others say about the floss becomming loose too quickly. Some things that help: initially pull out the floss and keep it dry (less slippery), wind it very firmly 3 times around the little knob, wrap it over the prongs, then around the knob another 3 times and hold the end down firmly against the handle while you floss. Floss between teeth all the way under the gums, but not so it's uncomfortable in any way. Swivel the flossbrush while flossing up and down to the left and right to floss the "corners" of each tooth. That should get all the plaque off that the toothbrush can't reach. You may still have to rewind a couple times.

As far as cleaning: After cutting the floss off with the little cutter on the handle, you can rinse the head off and let it dry. This will discourage bacteria. If you have special concerns (like you have a cold or sore throat), swab it off with some disinfecting alcohol.

Now, don't tell Butler, but, after you run out of floss, don't throw the flossbrush away, just buy plain floss, cut off what you need and just wrap it around the flossbrush as I describe above. The flossbrush will last until the little knob pops off out of sheer exaustion.

I have always liked Butler products. They seem to be better quality. One of the very few companies I do feel a loyalty to. Goofy maybe, but there you have it.

3.0 out of 5 stars My kids have better luck with this than I do, February 6, 2010

Our children's dentist gave us one of these. We tried it, and the oldest of our children (10 years old) insists on using it every night. It works for her, but for the rest of us it gets too loose after one or two teeth and has to be re-tightened. She seems to have developed a technique of keeping a finger pressed against a particular position on the floss to keep it tight.

It's an interesting design -- it has the potential to be a much more efficient use of floss than wrapping it around your fingers, because you only use a few inches at a time. If you can keep it from coming loose constantly.

Personally, I will stick with traditional floss for myself and disposable plastic flossers for the younger children. Simple and affordable.

I miss my Floss-o-matic (or something like that) that does not seem to be made any longer. It had a better way of locking the floss. This one is an acceptable replacement.
