The packing for this floss has gone down dramatically in the last year or two. Was it because Crest bought them? Some engineer tried to save a few pennies and the metal part now breaks off frequently or the top comes off.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the same product, October 28, 2009

Used to love Glide floss. But the recent 3 pack I ordered is not the same as the stuff I'm used to. The last tube I was using, wax would be stripped off the floss as it was coming out of the dispenser to the point where it eventually clogged up. I was able to fix it by pulling a big ball of wax out of the top. Unfortunately this was only a temporary fix, as the floss moved up on the spindle inside and would catch against the top. Eventually I was opening the tube every time I wanted to unwind a yard of floss, until some sort of tangle happened and it became unusable. Had to throw it away with a good amount of floss still on the spindle.

What took me by surprise was that I grabbed an old tube out of my shaving kit, and the people who said this is not the same product that it used to be are spot on. There was no was on that floss, and it flowed from the container flawlessly. Flossed my teeth better too. Not sure if this has to do with Crest buying the name, but this product is now garbage. Overpriced version of the same floss available elsewhere. Such a disappointment too because I loved the old stuff. Alas.

Crest, Since your company acquired glide floss the quality has plummeted! It was the best floss when Gore started it. Now I would give it a grade of D+. I am an Orthodontist so I know what I am talking about. Dr. Jerry P.S. This is written to Crest with the hope they again make floss we all like.
