DrTungs Smart Floss - Natural Floss, PTFE & PFAS Free Floss, Gentle on Gums, Expands & Stretches, BPA Free Floss - Natural Dental Floss Cardamom Flavor (Pack of 6)

I finished my first container of Cocofloss and was thrilled with it, of course, and wanted to try the Vanilla version, only to find I had to purchase it either directly from the website with $7 shipping or buy several to meet the free shipping threshold. I used this as an opportunity to search for other flosses with similar properties I like for when repurchasing from them is an annoyance/Im wanting a more specific flavor like this time. These are both great flosses. Cocofloss, especially, is wonderful for people who are adverse to flossing in general. This wasnt actually me, but thats how fun and texturally appealing it is to use. What I thought would actually happen here was Id be trying to convince myself to focus on the positives of Dr. Tungs but really Id be bored in comparison and it would be better than other flosses, at least, but still not Cocofloss and Im shocked how much I prefer it. Of the two flosses, Cocofloss wins in the color (I have a string-loving cat and used dental floss is not allowed outside the trash can ever for even one second, so the teal contrast is helpful visually) department and the flavor/scent-funness department, but for actual flossing purposes, Dr. Tungs is an absolute joy to use. It feels a bit more like a spaghetti noodle shape? But smaller. It feels softer than Cocofloss (or any floss) on my fingers and in my mouth. By softer I mean sort of larger and rounder-shaped, versus turning into a wedge that cuts. I dont know if any of that actually happens, but that too tight/cutting sensation on your fingers thats so awful with most other flosses doesnt happen here. I also have extremely close together teeth. Theres zero room in there whatsoever. This proved completely non-problematic for either of these flosses, and my teeth normally tear flosses quickly. These are both wonderful flosses, but I feel like Dr. Tungs is both more comfortable to use and probably is doing a more thorough job. This is a case where the shape/texture is just so much nicer to me that Id rather use it than even delightful vanilla + nice coconut wax texture + teal color. I could use a little more cardamom cowbell though. Or something. But they probably didnt want to alienate anyone. If youre worried about it being too much, it definitely isnt and it smells quite literally of cardamom, just much more faintly than I expected.

If you’re like me, and you were looking for a more affordable replacement for Cocofloss, then this might be an option for you, but for me it wasn’t close enough to make the switch. I’d rather buy cocofloss on sale. This is a touch better than others I’ve tried (Butlerweave, super floss) I have not tried Burst) but Cocofloss is just kind of untouchable right now. This is the closest in my opinion, but it takes a while to get the plaque off, and it doesn’t seem to get near as much as cocofloss. You mighht be better served to get cocofloss on Black Friday.

This is by far the most effective tooth floss Ive ever used. It cleans very thoroughly. The new plastic-free packaging is nice, too.

Love the product - HATE THE PACKAGING!! I mean seriously - a thin (!) cardboard container in a bathroom! Bathroom counters get wet - it’s inevitable so you have to make a concentrated effort to keep this in a dry place!

I am a huge fan of this floss - it is by far the best performing I have ever used. BUT, the new paper-based box for the floss is really one step forward, three steps back. Why? 1) Paper seems more Earth-friendly than plastic, but the (innovatively designed) plastic box could have been retained yet used recycled plastic, plant-derived plastic, and/or biodegradable plastic — instead of using paper. The company should have tried harder to find an innovative, green material — this customer will pay the premium associated with a more green material. 2) As someone who uses floss after brushing, my hands are wet. If you repeatedly get the new paper box wet, it becomes squishy and loses structural integrity. 3) I travel for work a lot and pack this floss in my toiletries. The paper box gets crushed, whereas the plastic box of course maintained form. This is a huge concern, because once the box is crushed, ease of use is gone. 4) It is actually much harder to thread the floss around the cutting edge of the paper box than it was to thread around the cutting edge of the plastic box — because of the paper box’s flap being in the way. 5) Harder to know how much floss I have left because the paper box is not translucent. The plastic box was.

this is the closest dupe Ive been able to find to the discontinued gentle gum care floss. It tastes/smells oddly like fruity pebbles cereal and I actually enjoy that.

The floss is really good, but the packages keeps getting ripped, the plastic ones were better

Seems like the quality on everything has slipped these days. First off: the new packaging is horrible. The old plastic container was great, but these new paper things are awful. I understand the need to be environmentally friendly, but these new packages are just cheap. Secondly: I have tight spaces between my teeth, but never had a problem with floss shredding and getting caught between my teeth until this last purchase. It get caught every single time. The strand breaks down much faster than it used to. QC seems to have gone out the window. Thirdly: Its still the same price as it was. A worse product for the same price. Id pay a bit more for better QC.

My favorite feature about this floss is that it doesn’t come in plastic. The taste is different, but pleasant. The floss itself is fairly wide, so works well to clean. I have a small mouth and some of my teeth are close together. This floss is more difficult to use between those teeth, but doable.

So glad to have Dr. Ts in paper packaging!! It doesn’t taste the greatest, but feels wonderful on my gums. Love it!!!
