Great product, needs refills w/o new case per pkg
I’ve been using this pic for years and I really like the pic however, I would like it if I could buy just replacement pics without a new case in every packet of pics

Used to be a good product.
These used to be a really good product. No more. Don't last. Barely get through a cleaning without them bending in half. Used to be able to get some use out of them. Evidently the quality was lowered to get customers to buy them more often. Not this customer. Going back to floss.

Easy for On-the-go
The GUM soft picks are great for keeping with you on the go to keep teeth clean. The flexible ends get between teeth to remove plaque and food thay gets stuck between the teeth. Each pack includes 60 picks, which is enough to last for a couple of months. The little travel case that comes with the picks is perfect for the car or my purse, and is great for my braces wearing daughter's backpack. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

Love the plastic case!
This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own. I tried Gum Soft-Picks Advanced and they are shockingly soft. I had not tried picks like these before, I usually use floss picks. I liked these a lot and would buy again. I also really love that it comes with a travel case.

Terrible packaging
I purchased a 3 pack. 180 "Advanced" Soft Picks, item 1458438. Packaging is atrocious. How much would it cost to add a sentence of a diagram showing how to get into the thing or separate the 3 bubbles. A major drawback. Or even put it on the website. NON FUNCTIONAL

A Move Backwards
The new soft-pick design is near worthless. I’ve been using the old design for years. Don’t know what I’ll do from now on, but it won’t include the new comfort flex Soft-Picks.

Soft-Pick just a little to soft.
I love the shape and size. The only reason I didn't give this product a 5 star rating is because the tip is not stiff enough for my liking. It bends way too easily in those difficult and tight areas. Maybe experiment with a medium and hard tip option.

Good for Seniors
These are great for some of us who are older and have more sensitive gums. I like the design and the way that they reach every area around your teeth and gums without causing pain.

Hate them!
I unfortunately purchased these. They do not stand up between my teeth as it bends. I end up having to use string floss to go back over the spots where the pick doesn’t fit between my teeth. This was the worst purchase I have made. I will definitely be going back to my Oral-B picks. They are much better.

Love but need a smidge of improvement
I love these picks. I started with the original, & went to the advanced for the curved shape & long handle. The longer handle really sets them apart! The nubs are so satisfying for that extra scrub. I have a couple qualms though. There really should be a refill option bc too many carry cases is a waste of plastic. Also, there should be a way to store the extra picks to keep them sanitary. And I do have trouble sometimes with them bending before finishing my whole mouth, so maybe reformulate to a sturdier iteration.

I like this Soft Picks Advanced product very much and have used it for quite a while. I do not like that a new plastic "on the go" case comes with each package. They are not recyclable. In a comment from 9/23/23 you told a reviewer they were recyclable and carry a #5 code. I have collected a large number of these containers because it bothers me to add them to the land fill and the numbers on my collection range from 1-8. None of them have the triangle shape that indicates recycle-ability. I liked a previous reviewer's suggestion of a light cardboard case.

Gum brand soft picks
I have been using these soft picks for a long time. When I first started using these advanced soft picks, they were great. This past year these have changed. They are so flimsy! I am not rough when I use them. They are so weak where the pick meets the part you hold. These used to be sturdy enough to use one to clean between all my teeth! But no longer! I will no longer pay the price for these picks that are almost useless!! So disappointed!

Bring the old ones back!
These used to be perfect, however the "New and improved" ones are weak and bend or break on first use. I won't buy again. It's a waste of money.

GUM Soft tip Advanced picks
My dental hygenist introduced me to these picks. I purchased a package of them and like the little "carrying case". While the picks work great in clearing debris from between my teeth, I really do not like how quickly the tip bends and renders itself useless. I do not use them vigorously and really have tried to extend the usage to more than one day: I'm a faithful after almost every meal tooth-brusher. I even have broken off the bent tip however at that point, the pick is too rigid and nearly too wide to go between my teeth. I'm using the last 2 of my tips and do not plan to buy anymore.
