Oral B Dental Floss Satin Mint Tape

I bought this because it was on sale a while back, and now i prefer it over all the other Dental floss' I've tried. It has a nice minty taste and it doesn't tear into 'strings' when u floss like some brands. And the packaging looks nice and fresh ...like you can taste the minty-ness by just looking at it ;)

I have a small overcrowded mouth and tight teeth gaps which is an absolute pain in the proverbial for flossing... that is until I found that not all flosses are created equal. After discussing my plight with my surgeon (when about to have wisdom teeth removed) he told me about dental tape... why did I just assume there was only floss and all floss was created equal.

So I ventured out with new knowledge in hand and sought to find this unicorn product called 'Tape'. It took some searching through the shelves but I found a neat little packet... blue see-through and the words 'Satin Tape' yoink into my basket it went.

So I tried it out and it really doesn't snag, grab or rip! it glides (ok be gentle as it glides reeally well) between the teeth and removes what it is intended to. It is a great improvement on classic floss and perfect for my mouth. It has a hint of flavour but not as much as floss.

I have found a few stores don't stock it so when I see it I buy it. I have run out once and resorted to buying regular floss and it is still sitting in my bathroom cupboard... even hubby won't use it now.

I usually purchase this tape over normal flosses as I find that the traditional "string" shaped flosses shred between my teeth and can be quite uncomfortable if you push them too far into your gums accidentally. That problem is minimized with the tape. It's a good product that you can generally purchase on sale at the supermarket. The mint taste is rather pleasant too. It has way nicer packaging than other flosses too - I like that cos I'm a sucker for things that look nice.

Great price, and cleans nicely in between teeth. Love that it’s a tape, and that it’s gentle on the gums. Great taste aswell.

I love this floss so much it is thin enough to get in all the little gaps and is so much softer on my gums. The scent is an absolute game changer it makes my breath smell even better and it’s just life saving.

Flossing is an important part of my daily oral hygiene especially as I have a titanium tooth implant. I use Oral B mint dental floss instead of other brands because I have always found the Oral B brand reliable (my electric toothbrush and heads) and I prefer the type of dispenser better. I use the mint flavoured floss as it adds more freshness to my mouth after flossing than the unflavoured ones.

I have gaps in between some of my teeth so flossing has become a necessity. Trying other products proves that I do prefer the tape style as opposed to the more ropey sorts because my teeth like to rip the rope style. I definitely have no problems with using this product. The minty flavour is also a wee freshness booster!

This is another one of those products that has found its way into my supermarket trolley! When picking up floss I don't really have a favourite, so this one must just have been the one on special on the day.

I do like the packaging of this in the blue plastic container with waves down the side. It looks so much nicer than the Colgate white ones. Another handy feature is that the plastic is see through so you can tell how much floss you have left. The lid comes up easily which is another plus for when you don't want to chip your nail polish (you can see where my priorities lie). The wee cutter for the floss also works really well.

The floss itself does the trick. I like that it is a flat wider floss so it doesnt' feel like it is cutting like some of the thinner ones do. It also tastes minty, but I'm not quite sure why floss needs a taste at all really. It also doesn't fray at all.

So overall it meets my needs in a floss... but I'm not yet loyal to only one brand.

I purchased this dental floss from New World for $5.49 after seeing it on Beauty Review.

The container, similarly to other floss containers, is a small and blue, with a pull thread with a cutter.

The thread is not too thin and is similar to cotton. It is not sharp and sharp like some, and is comfortable to use. I don't think I would describe it as 'satin' though.

It leaves a nice mild mint flavour in the mouth. It is as easy to use as all other dental flosses. It glides easily between my teeth and doesn’t cut my gums. I feel like it does a perfectly good job. I would purchase it again, more likely if it was discounted, because I tend to buy whichever floss is on special, as there is little to distinguish one from the other.

I recommend it to others to try, as it is as good as any other floss and as economical.
