Common flavors and coatings include mint and fruit varieties (for example, wild fruit). Some children's floss is listed as fluoride-coated.
Products are marketed for a range of ages: specific listings include young children (examples note "3 years and up" or "10 years and up") as well as items labeled for all ages.
Some tools add extras such as a built-in tongue scraper, precision gum brushes, and a fine-tipped dental pick on the opposite end for targeted debris removal.
Many items advertise comfort or easy-grip, ergonomic designs. Features include non-slip or wide ribbed control grips, angled handles for reach, and smaller heads sized for small hands.
