Flosser Picking a Floss Pick

Ok, dear dental hygiene conscious friends. I've been away because I've been busy. Busy looking for decent floss picks. Yes, this has consumed all of my time since my last post. I've never been a big flosser. I know, gross, right. But I have had no incentive. I show up at the dentist, having flossed that morning maybe for the first time since my last check-up, and I'm applauded for doing such a good job flossing. Maybe they are setting me up to see if I'm really a big, fat liar. Who knows? Anyways, like I said, I've never had much incentive. Plus, I think it's really gross and I don't like to have what was in between my teeth in between my fingers.
I never even shopped for floss because if I really wanted to floss, I'd use the freebie from the dentist's office. Thus, I'd never looked for floss picks either. I'd seen them of course, but just had no interest. Until I needed to buy them for my 2 year old who recently went for her first trip to the dentist. I'm a firm believer in starting good habits early (even if I don't practice them-I'm such a splendid influence) so I got a pack at CVS, where I rarely shop (for convenience's sake). They were CVS brand and we used them all and they were apparently great. I didn't think much about it until I went to buy some more. I did not know it would be such a challenge. First, I got DenTek "Fun Flossers" for my child. Woohoo! Are they fun!
My child loves them because they have pink, blue, green, and orange (listed in order of preference, of course). I used one recently and it broke on the first tooth. I thought it may be a fluke, so I got another one. It was not a fluke. These things are terrible. (Although she still loves them...lucky for her, she only 2 sets of teeth that actually touch each other.)
So my search began. The non-flosser in her quest of the perfect floss pick. Hey, it was the only thing that had ever promoted my flossing habit (well, sort-of habit, now).
I then bought Oral-B's floss picks plus scope. They taste good, and are soft and smooth. They get a bit lax after use on one tooth, but I've found that with all of them. They do occasionally break, but if I had to give them a rating of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best, I would give them a 4.5.
Today I went and bought DenTek Triple Clean floss picks. I should have known with the DenTek brand that they may not be worthy. And I was right. They say they have a flouride coating, but these things feel like a plain piece of string slicing down between your teeth. Plus, they break easily. I would give them a 1.
Finally, I bought Oral-B Pro-Health For Me Floss Picks. They are actually for kids, but I think they are my favorite. They are very flavorful (minty breeze) and are basically the same as the other Oral-B. 4.5
Ok, I did not mean to only try Oral-B and DenTek. I forgot what I already had at home. So the search is still on. I will go back and get the CVS brand again and will keep looking for more. But right now, I definitely recommend Oral-B Brand floss picks. They are comfortable and smooth.
