The “Thick Flat Tape” Advantage

Unlike round string floss, this is a broad, flat ribbon.

  • Why it matters: The wider surface area acts like a squeegee against the side of your tooth. It sweeps away more plaque in a single pass than thin string, which often just rolls over it.

  • Strength: It is exceptionally strong and shred‑resistant. If you have tight contacts (teeth that are close together) that usually shred other floss, this nylon tape is tough enough to handle them.

Natural Wax & Scent

  • Coating: It uses natural beeswax (and sometimes carnauba/jojoba wax blends) to help it slide between teeth. It avoids the petrochemical waxes found in conventional brands.

  • Flavor: Infused with natural spearmint oils, it leaves a pleasant, mild minty taste between your teeth, not a chemical aftertaste.

What It Doesn’t Have

This floss is free from PFAS (per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances), artificial sweeteners, artificial preservatives, and artificial colors. It’s a simple, mechanical cleaning tool made with trusted materials.

User Note: Because it is a “thick” tape, some users with extremely tight teeth might find it takes a little extra wiggle to pop it through the contact point—but once it’s in, the cleaning power is superior.
