ReachTotal Care floss with Listerine Fresh Flavors 30-Yard, (Pack of 6)

I tried this for the first time while staying at my sister's house during a visit. I saw it on the bathroom counter and it looked interesting, so I gave it a shot. I was instantly impressed by how much better it felt compared to the Oral B Glide I've used for several years.The stretchy rubber floss of Reach Total Care does not cut into my fingers nearly as much like other floss, and that alone is enough for me to pick it over other floss. But that's not all--it's thicker stretchy material also means that it cleans more thoroughly when the gap between the teeth are bigger, yet because it is stretchy, it can still go into narrow gaps without any problem. Another thing I love about it is that it'll never shred or break.Some people mentioned that it will snap like a rubber-band, and that is kind of true. If you tried to use it exactly like any other normal floss, it will snap out from the gap between your teeth like a rubber-band, and food debris will shoot out onto your bathroom mirror. To remedy the problem, what you should do, is to keep your fingers closer, and when you pull the floss out from a gap between teeth, keep your hands close to your mouth, and reshape the contour of your lips so they cover the opening of your mouth more. Also, pull a bit slower on the floss and using a back and forth motion when necessary. None of this is difficult--I can still floss at roughly the same speed as with normal floss, and the change in how I hold the floss and shape my mouth and how I move my hands are not more difficult--simply different.Until I discover a better floss, this is going to be it for me.

Buying floss is like choosing between shoes. I think it boils down to a matter of preference since everyone's set of teeth are so different. Nonetheless I will give my opinion on these. Some context; Previous to using Reach Total Care floss, I was using Oral B's Glide which are highly rated. I didn't like those too much because they broke easily and quite often. Maybe I don't have wide enough gaps to use these? Interestingly enough, many reviewers for Oral B's Glide say that they don't fray easily. Goes to show each person's situation is different than the next. What's more, my wife prefers Oral B VS. Reach Total Care. Maybe her flossing technique is better than mine? Maybe she doesn't have as many tight spaces between her teeth ( although her teeth seems normal). All I know that for my situation, I find Reach Total Care to be superior to Oral B's Glide. They don't snap as Much with a capital M, there is a level of elasticity to Reach's that is non-existent to Oral B's which contributes to longer-lasting floss and they are a tad thinner than Oral B's which may also add to its duress in my case. One last point, many people say that Oral B's don't make them bleed. Sounds like a lot of horsec*ck! From my experience experience, the only reason I bled when flossing with any floss was because my gum lines were not use to the aggressive act of flossing. After a week or so of flossing, I would not bleed. And that's using all sorts of flossing. So I think people sometimes don't know what they are talking about. I am sure some people have bleeding issues when flossing with certain kinds of floss on a constant basis, but these are outliers. I am not addressing those folks.

I recently went to my dental hygienist for my teeth cleaning. During the cleaning, she was using this floss. It was very gentle on the gums. I asked her what kind of floss it was, and she told me it was this new product made by Reach. After she was done cleaning my teeth, she gave me my little bag of goodies and put an extra thing of that floss in there for me! I have been faithfully flossing everyday (even twice a day sometimes) because it is such a great floss! The elasticity makes it comfortable to hold and is soooo gentle on the gums (while still getting all the gunk out from in between the teeth!) It may be more expensive than regular threaded floss, but I feel that it's totally worth it! Ingenious idea created by Reach!!! I hope this product stays on the market forever! :)

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.

What a geek! I can't believe I'm getting excited about dental floss! But I'm totally fan-boying over this stuff. If dental floss had been this good in the 70s it would have saved many battles between me and the evil parents who forced us to clean our teeth. The texture is almost rubbery, which was weird the first couple of times but I came to really love the way it works. In all seriousness, I feel like my teeth are cleaner than they've ever been before thanks to this product. J&J, if you ever discontinue this product I'll RIOT!

I have this history of finding a floss I like and then before I know it, it is taken off the market. I am picky. I hate waxed because it is basically useless, and I really hated it when flosses started adding sweeteners about 10 years ago. Not just because they seemed "fresher" with just the essence of mint instead of the candy-like sweetness, but because my hands became a sticky mess using them, This floss is my new favorite. I am sure one day it will also be taken off the market, but until it is, I buy in bulk! Oh, and it doesn't shred AT ALL.

In 2017 I purchased a pack of six of these for $19.99 (total) from Amazon!! It's the most effective floss I've used, thought the flavor is unnecessary, but occasionally a strand will snap mid-use. I wonder if the current, much more expensive version is less prone to breaking.

The ultimate in dental floss. Unfortunately it’s so difficult to get these days, but it’s so good I’m prepared to pay the premium for this floss.
