FlossAid Dental Floss Holder - Pack of 18 Handles

If you need to use a dental floss holder, this is the best one, because the handle is long enough so you can easily reach your back teeth. I load these for my one-handed (stroke-disabled) husband, by (1) wrapping the floss twice around the button, (2) gently squeezing the prongs before threading the floss along the tips, (3) wrapping the floss around the button twice, and (4) wrapping the floss around the handle and around the button again. This sets up a nice tight floss area at the tip, so that the threaded floss holder works better than the pre-threaded flossers you buy in bags. (The floss in pre-threaded flossers often stretches during use.) I find that the Floss Aid floss holder requires about the same amount of floss for threading as I use when flossing with my hands--about 14 to 16 inches. However, the gentle squeezing of the prongs means that the prongs break from time to time (after about 6 months of daily use). Thus I go through 1 or 2 floss holders every year. A case of 18 floss holders may seem like a lifetime supply, but it costs about the same as 9 floss holders sold in packages of 3, and the actual box of 18 is quite compact and stores easily in a drawer. The floss holders in the case come in three colors. The Butler Floss Mate Handle is another good product, except that it has a very short handle. In my experience, the Butler floss holders break about as often as the Floss Aid floss holders. Another option is to use a flossholder with floss in the handle, like the BUTLER DENT FLOSBRUSH . (You can conserve the Flosbrush floss if you use the old floss to wrap with when you advance new floss across the tips.) Read more

These seem like a great idea compared to the annoying flexible disposable floss holders and while the plastic is tough enough, using the holders presents several practical problems. 1. Takes extra time to set up compared to quickly wrapping it around your finger. 2. Waste of floss compared to wrapping it around your finger. 3. The same small section of floss will be going thru all of your teeth. 4. The floss stretches if your teeth are tight so you have to continually tighten the floss in the holder. This is tedious. Overall, these are now collecting dust. I find the Oral Breeze shower irrigator to get more use although I don't know if gum irrigating is as helpful as flossing. Read more

Good rating for these flossers because I floss more with them; my fat fingers and crooked teeth are well-served by the smaller flosser in my otherwise big mouth. One must, however, turn and torque them slightly to make sure all aspects of the teeth are flossed, as well as doing the above on the sides of the 2 teeth the flosser touches. It also saves time. Recommend for sure. Read more

This was a replacement for one I received from my dentist. The Floss Aid is identical. If you never used one, they are great. The issue is that at some point, after about 6 months they will break. It is best to buy the case of 18 as they will last at least 9 years and you will never be without one. Considering all the other floss contraptions this is the most cost effective way to go if you have big fingers. Read more
