Dental floss help!

I used to use Boots mint dental pick flossers. They were perfect, but now Boots have discontinued them.

Hell me find another floss that’s as good! I hate the thick waxy tapes that just slide through and don’t do anything, but other pick type ones I’ve used break. I have narrow gaps between my teeth.

Thanks!

Have you tried the TePe brushes rather than floss? I find them better because I don't saw through my gums with them and the supermarkets often do their own versions of them cheaper. Or try a dentist/orthodontist as they might sell something similar to the Boots version.

We swear but the ones from Lidl, very sturdy and work really well.

@ChicCroissant my husband was recommended those by the hygienist but I couldn’t get on with them, felt like they were doing to get stuck!

I use the expanding floss. My hygienist has seen an improvement.

I buy them from eBay - converted to floss in my late 40s because the traditional stuff was too wide to fit between my teeth.
