I like the Glide, so no I haven’t found what you’re lookimg for. However I use the G.U.M. rubber picks and they are great. Along with removing any debris, they give you gums a nice massage. Picks

I like glide because it doesn't shred like other flosses do.

Annie, I understand. One thought, however; sometimes if floss catches or shreds, it can be because there is an overhang or non-flush surface or margin to a restoration (usually not good as bacteria can hide there.) You likely know this, but I’m adding for general info.

My DDS told me to use the green package of Glide. i have 2 very tight spots.

I normally use Glide (I have very tightly spaced teeth), but I did try Cocofloss. It has a rough surface and I think does a better job than Glide, but it was too difficult for me to get between my teeth to use every night. Might be worth a try for you.

We have tried and bunch and the closest so far are cocofloss (amazon and target have it) and dr. tungs (and they are not really close).

Another vote for the GUM bristly picks. I'm always amazed when I've brushed well, but still see particles in the sink when I use one of those picks, then sluice water through my teeth. I also use a metal shaft with a replaceable rubber tip once a day. Most of my teeth are thisclose to one another; floss is an impossible struggle.

My favorite floss by a mile, It’s flat so it does get through close contacts but I’m not sure I’d want it if my mouth was full of them. Not quite sure what’s meant by woven, but I unraveled some to show it’s not a tape. This doesn’t happen while flossing and it’s the only floss thaf’s never broken during use. Also the only floss that gets me completely free of blood.

There's interesting chats in other places from folks who miss that floss; it was on sale on eBay for a ferocious price. Our dentist contacted the company to complain they were discontinuing it. Some versions even had flouride, it was great!

Mdln... do you think that GUM Expanding floss is like the J&J stuff? We're trying all sorts of flosses, but it really doesn't feel like any of them so far get my teeth as clean as the J&J. Very frustrating.

My local store discontinued that brand a while ago, I also loved it and ordered a package of 12, I still have six left. I paid the regular price, but had the buy lots of it.

Thanks for the many good suggestions. i like a lot of the GUM products, including the bristle things and the little green plastic bow saw looking flossers. I forgot all about using the rubber pointy thing. Is it to put pressure on the gums (blanch) to simulate circulation?

mdln, I will try that GUM expanding floss. Is this the one that is a bit stretchy? Thanks for including thre images.

FOAS, the Tom’s flat floss looks interesting. Thanks for taking the time to open the strand up and photograph it.

I might try the cocofiber stuff — or maybe I could just rob some from a plant basket liner ;)

HB — someone was selling 50’ of the Listerine floss on eBay starting at $52 for that one pack. That’s more expensive that some of the best knitting yarns.

C Marlin — was your dentist able to find out why Johnson & Johnson stopped offering it? And, yes, I have seen other remarking online about missing the Listerine floss. I wonder why they quit it? Could they at least license it to some other company? I’d even be willing to buy it in bulk, like serger cones, and wind in on those little empty spools that fit in the white case.

That floss has other uses too. To see if it could be done (as an article on removing embedded deer ticks while camping suggested), I tried it and was successful. I bet that tick felt honored (and knew that I cared about its mouthparts staying fresh) as well as surprised when he was suddenly surrounded by mint scented blue and white ”ropes” and pulled away from her lunch. IIRC I think I snapped a photo of it. I wonder if the Listerine division of J&J would be impressed enough to crank up their spinning wheels again.

Think the eBay seller ($52!) will find a buyer?
