Floss Shreds Between My Teeth
Now, I not only have pieces of food between my teeth, I have pieces of floss between my teeth. Horrid product. It keeps sticking between my teeth. Sometimes leaving pieces of floss that I are stuck. Bring the old version back!!!

Do not buy
This new version just rips up in my permanent retainer. Do not waste your money.

We're disappointed to hear you aren't enjoying the new threader. With the many quality tests this threader has undergone, this isn't something we'd expect. The Oral-B Threader Floss that you purchased might feel a little different than the Oral-B Threader floss that you have purchased before. We're always improving materials and looking to ensure that we deliver the best products. As a result, we’ve transitioned to a new microtextured floss fiber that’s still strong and shred resistant. It’s also soft and gentle on your gums and still cleans easily around orthodontics and appliances which makes it a great floss product to use every day as part of your oral care routine. We'll be sure to let our team know you'd like to see the previous version return. If you have questions or would like to share more, we ask that you please give us a call at (800) 566-7252.

Bad product
This floss is awful. I wish I could still get the original Glide. This frays and gets stuck in my permanent retainer. It expands between the teeth so instead of flossing I have to tug at the floss to get it free and move. It does not glide it is more like a bulldozer trying to make it down a sidewalk

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration, especially when a product doesn’t perform the way you expect. We’ve updated our Glide floss to a new microtextured fiber designed to improve its cleaning performance; however, we recognize that it hasn’t met your expectations. Your oral health and comfort are our top priorities, and all our products are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. If you find the floss getting stuck, we recommend discontinuing use. We’re aware of the fraying issue for some consumers and are actively working to make it stronger.

Worst change to a product possible
This product should not have the word GLIDE in its name. It has none of the features the old product had. It is painful to use and makes my gums around my bridge bleed. I do not think that is the purpose of flossing. I can't even get it between my teeth. If you can't use it, it's not effective. I've read the other customer reviews and responses from Oral-B. I am happy to know that I am not alone. It makes me sad that Oral-B has abandoned the population of people with tight teeth and bridges, but being in the minority, I assume we don't bring the company enough money for Oral-B to make a product effective or even useful for us. I can only hope that more people will read these reviews before they purchase, so they don't waste their money.

We're so sorry to learn you've experienced pain and bleeding, and hope your symptoms have improved. Our recent transition to a new micro-textured fiber was made to enhance cleaning performance. This new design is intended to slide easily between tight spaces and provide a gentle yet effective clean. However, we understand that everyone’s oral health needs are unique. If you are experiencing any discomfort, we recommend discontinuing use. Your oral health and comfort are our top priorities, and we take all reports of adverse effects very seriously. We'd really like to share your feedback with our safety team. So we can help further, please call us at (800) 566-7252.

Functions poorly.
Product was recently modified - used to be a great product, now poor quality with the floss snagging and not cleaning teeth well. I assume it was changed to make it cheaper. Hope the genius who spearheaded this gets a well deserved transfer to a landfill where he/she? has shown expertise.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, regarding your Glide Threader Floss. We’re sorry to hear our recent changes have made your flossing experience less enjoyable. To keep the product from snagging, wind the excess around your fingers. The tension is easier to control, and helps keep cleaning easy. We will be sure to share your review with the team, so they’re aware of how you feel. Tell us more any Monday-Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 566-7252.

This is not how we expect the product to perform, and as a result, our technical team is working quickly to address this issue.

HORRIBLE CHANGE
I am a Dental Hygienist and have been using the single use floss threaders on my patients for over 30 years. When I received my last order I was shocked. First of all you cannot get single use packs any more and now the floss is like super floss. THIS " NEW IMPROVED" PRODUCT IS HORRIBLE. It will shred to pieces if used on an Ortho patient, sometimes it is too thick to go under a bridge. I absolutely hate it and wish you had not ruined a good thing.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 1 month ago
We're very sorry for your disappointment with our new Oral-B Threader Floss.

That being said, it's clear that your experience has not met our high expectations, and we apologize again for this.

Kind of pricey for just under bridgework. Shredded between other teeth.
I only bought these because I couldn’t find just plain floss-threaders like you get at the dentist office. I tried using only these to floss all my teeth, but they shredded. They do work well under my bridge work. But they’re pricey for just flossing under the permanent bridge. I’m hoping I can find the others somewhere.

Picking out threads with tweezers
I bought this a few weeks ago after always using oral b threader floss on my permanent retainer. I’m not sure if I bought the wrong kind or if oral b changed the product but I can no longer find what I used previously and this is not good! After threading, the floss shredded apart when trying to pull between my teeth, leaving me not flossed and with tiny threads stuck between my teeth & retainer that I had to use tweezers to remove.

Replaced a wonderful product with a useless produc
I agree completely with all of the negative reviews that I am reading on this product. You have replaced a wonderful product with this new version that now uses horrible floss that does not hold up at all. The new version shreds easily and leaves behind strands of shredded floss in my teeth. I understand if you wanted to repackage the flossers, although the individual packaging was very easy to use. I do not understand why you had to change the flossing material. Please give us back the original threader flossers or at least go back to the original floss material!!

This floss get's caught in braces and bridges!
This is absolutely the worst floss. The original threader floss without the cushion was MUCH better for braces and bridges. This floss get's terribly stuck in braces and is hard to pull through bridges. Terrible DO NOT BUY! We're now stuck going back to the old type of threader you can use with regular oral b floss. Stupid.

This product is awful where is the old version!!
I have been a loyal customer for more than 10 years and have always relied on your Glide Pro‑Health Threader Floss. Unfortunately, the product that has replaced it is extremely disappointing. It consistently snags on my permanent retainer, and the threading frays so badly that I have to remove pieces with tweezers. It does not “glide” at all—there is no coating, and it functions more like plain thread. I purchased three boxes, but I will not be using them and will now be looking for an alternative product. If you bring back the original Threader Glide floss, you will regain me as a customer. Based on the reviews that have been posted, it’s clear that many others feel the same way. The previous product was not broken, and customers genuinely loved it. If this change was intended as a cost‑saving measure, it appears to have backfired, as you are losing long‑time customers.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 2 months ago
We truly do appreciate your loyalty and are sorry you aren't pleased with the change to our Threader Floss. We reformulated our Threader floss in order to meet forthcoming regulatory guidelines, and our intention was to provide a floss that is shred-resistant and will slide smoothly between teeth. The current Threader Floss is also no longer formulated with PTFE, which was one of the many requests we received from our consumers, as well. We're sharing your disappointment with our R&D Team, and we're happy to learn more from you and assist with your purchase. Please call us at 1-800-566-7252 to discuss this further.
