3.0 out of 5 stars May not work for everyone, December 28, 2004

Although Oral B Super Floss offers several features for people with braces, bridges, and other dental work, including a wide, spongy area for teeth that are further apart, I found the regular floss section to be hard to get between teeth that are close together and harsh feeling against them. The shape of the regular section is roundish, compared to the more ribbon-like, flatter Glide, which contributes to the difficulty in getting it into narrow spaces. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, or if your teeth are close together (as my molars are), I'd recommend Glide or a regular floss used with a threader instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horror show for flossing, July 4, 2009

By 

Brian Doom (Berkeley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

The puffy part completely shredded in my teeth, and even trying to remove it ended up jamming fibers between my teeth and gums. There's not enough to grab to pull out; I had to use another floss product to pull shreds out, one fiber at a time... I can feel it with my tongue behind my bottom teeth. I can't just leave it there because the fibers will collect food and plaque and basically be a rot-sponge.

This is torture. It's after midnight and I have to be up in a few hours. I just wanted to clean my teeth!

2.0 out of 5 stars The "suits" have ruined this product, October 3, 2011

I still use this product because it's less expensive than the competition, but probably not much longer. I've used this product from its inception many years ago. Originally, it was VERY good. It threaded easily, and the spongy part did a good job of cleaning under the bridge.

As time has gone by, the "suits" have apparently penny-pinched the manufacturing to the extent that you literally have to toss 25-30% of any box, and the rest of the box BARELY works. You'd have to buy floss threaders to make them all work, which is what you're trying to avoid if you buy this product in the first place. Out of a box of 50, you can barely use 35-40 of the threaded flossers. The quality control is terrible. This is obviously a product where no one at Oral-B who is involved with the manufacturing actually uses their own product. They've penny-pinched to the point they can probably afford to use Crest Glide Threader Dental Floss Packets - 30 Ea.

The sad thing is the "suits" who ruined this product probably got company awards for their "innovative" cost-cutting.
