floss for me has to be unwaxed dental floss (not tape, floss)
it is getting harder to find.
so when I do I order about 15 packs of it, because products keep disappearing.
also daily proxabrush; using 3 different sizes, for different teeth areas.
i had gum surgery 5 years ago and a bunch of other serious dental and periodontal work, and will do whatever it takes to never have to go through that again. live and learn, it took me until my late 50s to figure this out, i am proof you can teach an old dog new tricks. Now at my 4 times a year cleaning (2 with dental office, 2 with periodontal office) they now say things are great as far as my home care. Music to my ears.

There was a thread about dental floss breaking too easily. Unless you run through lots of floss in a short time, buying in bulk can be an issue...it doesn't have a very long shelf life and gets brittle. You don't know how long the stuff sat on the vendor's shelf before you bought it.

i have never had a problem with brittle UNWAXED dental floss.
what get's brittle is the wax or the flavor coating.
the floss i buy (UNWAXED, NO FLAVOR) has neither
