Oral-B Glide Healthy Gums Unflavored Dental Floss, Value 2 Pack (50m Each)

I have used Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Original floss for years and it was great! But recently Oral-B changed the product and the product name to Oral-B Glide Healthy gums. For many this might be an improvement due to the teflon issue, but for any one that needs to "poke" floss between gums and dental work, this new floss seems terrible to me.When you extract a piece of floss for use, it curls up into small spirals instead of being flat and straight like it used to be, making it very difficult to insert between gums and any dental work. So while in the past this was a 5-star product for me, I now would rate it only 3-star, taking away one star for the way it curls up, and one star for the way they changed it without any warning.Edit: Now on my 2nd pack of 6, and this one shreds or splits even before you try to use it, possibly because it is wrapped around the spindle incorrectly so it is almost impossible to pull out a new section to floss with. Downgrading to 2 stars, and I think that is being generous! So sad the quality has degraded so much, this used to be amazing floss.Edit 2: October 2026 - downgrading to one star, which I could make it 0. More than half of my last pack of 6 could not be dispensed at all, even after opening up the case. The roll of floss could not turn on the spindle, even after my previous "fix".

Strong and sturdy. I do find because my teeth are so tight it can shred a bit

Like others, I've been using this product for years, after they discontinued the indestructible tape version. While the original glide floss was not a great as the tape, it was still very durable and wouldn't easily shred or break. I've been reordering from this very same listing for years, but my recent order (6-pack) of Oral-B Glide floss is completely different. First, it comes packaged in paper boxes now, probably for environmental reasons, which is fine by me. The labeling also looks different now as well, like a rebranding (see comparison photos) or an entirely different product. Worst of all, the product itself is nothing at all like my previous order. It's so thin that it's practically transparent, with about the thickness of a produce bag. It's about as durable as a produce bag as well, breaking and shredding until I had a pile of wrecked floss in my lap and all sorts of fibers stuck between my teeth. This floss, if you can even call it that, is also impossible to pull from the dispenser. I had to open the plastic dispenser and peel it off the roll like I was using scotch tape. It's a shame that I didn't inspect this order earlier when it was still within the return window. This is going into the garbage. Buyer beware!

This is more like the original oral -B floss and doesn’t shred with my many crowns.The newer Oral-B flosses are made of a different material more like plastic and are horrible.I was so glad to find this floss.

I have bought Glide floss for years, but I guess this is the new version. This version of it is awful. It’s hard to pull out of the container, plasticky and pulls on my teeth. On top of that it gets less out from my teeth than the old Glide floss. I think I got deep clean before so maybe that’s part of it, but looks like they changed the formula in general. Avoid

Best dental floss

This new "Healthy Gums" floss replaces the "Pro-Health" floss. It is horrible.The dispenser doesn't work. The floss cracks and shreds on even the "simple difficulty" tooth gaps in my mouth.They also updated my Subscribe and Save order without my consent as well, sending me this new product in place of the Pro Health one I actually subscribed to. Took me a few months to reach the new supply so of course its not returnable.However, I did some research and at least the reasons behind this seem to be respectable. They are moving from "Forever chemicals" that live in the environment for many human lifetimes and poison everything on earth, to nylon and stuff that is more sustainable without creating those PFAS byproducts.I would say though, poorly executed? Maybe the floss won't hold up as well as before with magic teflon chemicals, but, I don't understand how the DISPENSER doesn't work properly, it can't even pull out of the container without shredding. I have all manner of nylon things that unspool just fine. So... good idea, but clear signs of poor execution.It appears ALL Glide floss is making this move, so trying a slightly different version won't help.With the outpouring of negative sentiment it seems likely they will be coming out with a 'V2'. I might try some other brands for the time being and revisit Glide in a few months if reviews start to indicate they've fixed these launch problems.

I only wish there were a lower rating. Who engineered this garbage and how did Oral B put their name on it? Let's make floss nearly impossible to pull out, make the packaging break if you apply the kind of Herculean strength required to do so, and make the floss itself some plasticky nightmare on the teeth. You should be embarrassed to give this away for free let alone charge a premium for it. What psychopath thought this garbage was a good idea?

It's not oral b dental floss. It's like plastic. The cases are weak. I would not buy here again.

Diese Zahnseide von Oral hatte ich schon mehrfach bestellt und war stets zufrieden damit. Die Seide ist jetzt etwas breiter als sonst und damit deutlich weniger zum Reinigen der Zahnzwischenräume geeignet. Die Seide passt auch nicht mehr richtig in das Aufnahmegehäuse. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht und werde in Zukunft andere Marken testen.

These are more expensive than your usual dental floss but if you want to get right down into your gums to prevent plaque, then you have to pay for the privilege.I have been using these for a few years at least twice daily and would not use any other make.

It's non minty dental floss. Mint is horrible, plain is great!
