Dental floss

Can anyone recommend floss for teeth that are quite close together? Struggling to find one that doesn't get stuck in the smallest gap!

TIA

I use the tape. Instead of floss that you pull down (and pray it doesn't get wedged) you can pull the tape out horizontally.
I also use a Waterpik-which is brilliant.

Oral-B dental tape.

I use the oral b whitening/premium variants, both work for me.

Also recently bought this, haven’t used it yet but thought I’d let you know:

Use the little brushes ...fab xx

Water pick. Also the very slippy tape rather than gloss. I've heard there's a very strong brand called gorilla but I've never found it.

Waxed floss is what you need.

oral b dental tape, I like it because it doesn’t fray.

The thinnest type brushes are too thick for my front teeth.

I use the Oral B essential floss (not tape)

Home Bargains sells it for 79p, its £2 in Sainsburys! Definitely check the cheap shops!

I got the Oral B tape and got into every gap no problems, thanks all!
