It's waxy, has a minty taste and thin enough to glide between tight teeth. But it shreds easily, and too much.

This is the only kind of floss that works for me and I have used it for years. I’ve tried other ones when they go on sale but I regretted switching up afterwards because other ones always get stuck in my gap or tears up, very frustrating. I’m sticking with this one from now on, it’s effortless to use.

I just got one string of floss off and then it "disappeared". I can not get it open to rethread it either! Waste of money!

CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THAT WAX.
1 reply from The Oral-B Team team - 2 years ago
We're sorry you don't feel educated on the wax used in your Oral-B Essential Floss, and we're more than happy to go over this. To clarify, our Oral-B Essential Flosses use Microcrystalline Wax, different from the beeswax used in our other flosses. Microcrystalline Wax is similar to the wax used in candles, and we use this for grip-ability. Please know your oral health is most important to us, and your safety is at the heart of all we do, so we understand the concern with knowing what you're using to brighten your beautiful smile. All our ingredients are assured to be safe using our 4-step safety process, and we're happy to share what is and is not in products if you have other questions. Give us a call at 1-800-566-7252, M-F, 9 AM TO 6 PM EST, to discuss this further.

I find the wax flakes off in between my teeth which is very irritating. The whole point of flossing is to remove what is between your teeth.

I am a dental hygienist and it is my professional opinion that oral b essential floss is the very best floss. I have been recommending it to my patients forever and I also use this product my self. Where other floss fails is when it shreds, tears and breaks, this will not happen with this product! I would highly recommend it!
Perfect floss for me!

The Oral-B Essential Floss product works so well for me! I first encountered it on a trip to France several years ago. At the time I believed it peculiar to the European market. Fortunately have had no problem ordering it off the Oral-B website in quantity since that long ago trip. Keep it coming.

Hello--I really like Oral-B Essential Floss, in fact it's my favorite. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned; I like the skinny floss with its minty taste! And I love that it's "Made in Ireland"! But I've run into a problem with the dispenser--more than once when I've taken a piece of floss and cut it with the little metal cutting-flange, the remaining end has disappeared into the plastic container, never to be found again. It isn't that the dispenser is empty, this has happened when the package is new. It would be fine if there were a way to retrieve the end of floss without breaking the plastic of the dispenser, but there's no way that I can see. Thank you!
excellent floss. can you sell me a refill?

This is great floss and therefore i buy it a lot. What i don't like is that i need to buy the dispenser each time. perhaps you could produce a refill that i can buy? That would save a lot of waste and i would be even happier to buy your product. it's a win-win. Thanks very much!
