Review on 🌱 Sustainable Dental Floss Picks (200 Ct) - Vegan, Eco-Friendly Flossers with Tooth Pick - Plaque Remover for Teeth Cleaning - Zero Waste Oral Care Dental Pick for Adults & Kids by Brenda Ward

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great value for 5 toothbrushes and floss

This is a review of a toothbrush, not a dental floss. Pros: Recyclable packaging and cases (paper) Handles are smooth Cons: I personally don't like the concave shape of the brush The bristles are not biodegradable Made in China They are just as good as your regular plastic toothbrush. I'm glad the pens are biodegradable, but I object to the fact that they're sold with bristles made from "Nylon 6, the world's most biodegradable nylon." Nylon-6 is NOT biodegradable. While there are some microorganisms that can degrade some plastics, they cannot degrade nylon 6 polymers. According to a National Institutes of Health article, nylon-6 is "known to be resistant to degradation in the natural environment.” These nylon bristles are recyclable in some communities, but the bristles are too small to recycle themselves. I think you can take them out with pliers and put them in another recyclable plastic container. Where they are made I was looking for a US made bamboo toothbrush. I am outraged that the seller gave the wrong answer that they are made in the USA. I bought this item based on this answer. Both products are made in China. See attached picture.

Pros
  • DURABLE AND SBRASION RESISTANT - Fluoride-free dental floss is coated with xylitol to help stabilize oral pH and has a natural, mild mint flavor for a fresh, healthy mouthfeel and clean breath. ; Choose between mint or anthracite.
Cons
  • Wrinkled
