Review on 🦷 GUM Butler Weave Unwaxed 200 yrds: Optimal Dental Floss for Long-lasting Oral Health by Tony Crook

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best Floss: Oral Care

I'm a dentist and have long used Listerine floss for gentle gum care. In fact, I've been using it since before Reach changed its name to Listerine. I loved it because I could squeak it with just unwaxed woven thread. As it is no longer manufactured I frantically searched for a replacement and tried several other candidates with disappointing results until I found this one. Although ButlerWeave isn't advertised as a woven dental floss, it looks and feels exactly the same as a woven dental floss, like Listerine's gum care product. It has no taste or smell, which doesn't bother me. Most importantly, the texture of toothpaste is more plaque-breaking than soft floss. All this for a ridiculously low price. This thread is 200 meters long, while Listerine gum care thread and most other threads are less than 50 meters long. I use about a meter a day, so two cans is enough for a year! If you try your best to floss daily but the floss just seems to "slip" over your plaque and leaves you frustrated, please take my word for it and give it a try. I'm stocking this up as it seems like every time I find a good thread it gets posted. If you have close contacts and are having a hard time getting the thread, try fine thread from GUM. This is a thinner version of ButlerWeave.
