Compostable Floss

Compostable Floss

It breaks too easy.

In February 2020 I got removable invisible braces which I will need to wear for a minimum of 14 months. After every single meal I have to brush -- and ideally floss! -- my teeth, so I have never in my life flossed this much. A couple of months into the pandemic a friend of a friend mentioned Green Life Trading, and when I looked into their products, I was excited to find this floss. I love the little glass jar which should last forever and the ability to refill as needed. I absolutely hated those little plastic floss boxes that traditional floss came in, therefore I'll be using this floss forever more, as I've not had any issues with floss quality and this arrangement is so much less wasteful.

This floss is pretty good. It’s not as strong or easy to use as glide, but it’s compostable and doesn’t contain chemicals that are harmful to your health. Some rolls are stronger and less likely to break than others. Ideally, don’t drop the refillable glass container on a tile floor.

This floss has quality control issues. When it's good, I love using it. However, sections of it seem to be weak and prone to breaking. This can be really frustrating, especially when pieces of it get stuck in your teeth and attempts to floss it out cause more pieces to break off.
