Review on GUM Butlerweave Floss Mint Waxed Oral Care by Dedra Block

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not comparable to Listerine Gentle Gum Care, just plain plastic thread

We have used Listerine Gentle Gum Care (formerly sold under the Reach brand) for many years but unfortunately it is no longer offered. It was a soft thread of cloth-like material that worked great. I bought this GUM yarn because one site listed it as one of the best woven yarns, along with Listerine. If you are also looking for a Listerine tissue thread replacement - keep looking, this is not a similar product at all. It's only marginally better than any cheap plastic floss (like the Glide samples you get from dentists), which tends to cut my sensitive gums, is slippery, and just really uncomfortable to use. It can be woven but is woven with synthetic threads, not a material similar to Listerine GGC floss. It also seems quite thick and I'm having trouble using it in places where the teeth are more closely together. Overall I am very disappointed. It's just a mediocre thread, nothing special or even close to what I was looking for.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
