5.0 out of 5 stars Works for me, February 21, 2009

I have tried numerous flosses and flossing devices and this is the first that I would be willing to give a five star review. I've tried alternatives to floss in the past since floss always seemed to be either strangling my fingers until they turned purple, shredding, and/or sliding through my fingers. Devices that hold the floss won't work for me because my teeth are too close together. I did have some success with the Hummingbird device with its pick attachments, but that tended to be an expensive solution and it seems they have discontinued the picks.

I was impressed by the unique and cool packaging of this product and its claim of being up to twice as effective as the competition, as well as the claims on the packaging of sliding easily, being easy to grip, and not shredding.

For me (and my wife) it works as advertised. It is a wide-width floss and has a very elastic rubber band-like feel which makes it soft on the fingers and easy to hold onto without cutting off circulation to your fingertips. I find it easy to work between tight teeth and it slides easily without shredding. The mint flavor is pretty intense, which leaves an impression at least of your mouth being clean after you finish flossing.

The biggest downside is probably price. I think the packages are about the same cost as other flosses, but a package is only 30 yards, so per-yard it is probably several times more expensive than alternative flosses.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as woven or cleanpaste, August 29, 2009

By

This review is from: Reach Total Care Floss, Mint, 30-Yard Dispensers (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

I have fairly tight spacing between my teeth, so have some difficulty finding the right floss. As a result I've tried pretty much everything on the market. The thin waxed stuff cuts my gums and glides too easily to actually clean anything. This floss has a tape shape which, together with the "microgrooves" gave me hope that it would work well. Reach makes my two all-time favorites so I was willing to give this new one in the funky packaging a try. I found that it's too stretchy, easily breaks, and glides too easily to actually clean teeth. My two all-time favorites are Reach Woven Mint and Reach Cleanpaste (an updated version of the woven, which is hard to find these days) - both of these have a soft, woven texture that easily gets between my teeth, doesn't cut my gums, and has enough texture to really clean the teeth. They also have a minty flavor that tastes great. I'd highly recommend either of them over this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Floss, February 27, 2011

Reach Floss is different from other flosses in several key characteristics. This leads to superior performance. It is a ribbon not a thread. Thus, it covers more surface area and is easier to hold.

The surface is rough, i.e. the microgrooves, also making it easier to hold. The rough surface is also better at material removal than smooth waxed surfaces.

Finally, it stretches. This may not seem like much at first, but the stretchyness means that you do not have to get the length exactly right or keep changing your grip. The length adjusts to your need.

There is only one downside: the cost. Reach Total Care Floss costs more than standard dental flosses. However, it is competitive with Oral-B Floss Tape. Reach's superior performance makes it worthwhile.
