Best floss?

I used to use the Oral B pro expert tape floss but they've changed it for the worse. They've changed and ruined the Satin Tape too.

I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Not what you asked, but I use interdental brushes as I find them much easier, quicker and more effective than floss, worth a try if you haven’t before. I could never get the knack of flossing!

Following as I've noticed the satin tape keeps splitting and it's very annoying. It never used to split 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was using bamboo floss, but it seems to have disappeared from all the high street shops. The standard waxed floss and tape slip off my fingers and don’t seem to clean so well. I really don’t want to buy those plastic ‘fork style’ floss sticks as the get stuck.

Yes I hate it. I never used to floss and then I started using satin tape, had just got the right technique for how you're meant to do it and then they changed it. It's awful now. Splits off and gets stuck in my teeth! I dread flossing now. They always change things for the worst!
