Bambaw Eco-Friendly Dental Floss, Plastic-Free Candelilla Wax, Mint, White, 50 m

So impressed with this silk floss, I barely write amazon reviews but I had to come back to review this! I spent a long time deciding which plastic-free floss to get and settled on this one after wanting to ensure it was really plastic free and also high quality. I'm shocked by how effective this is. It doesn't taste minty but the floss works just as well as nylon floss (honestly even better than some cheap nylon ones). The metal case is super practical and works great. I've recommended this to friends and will be buying refills when mine runs out! 10/10

As part of a plastic-minimising journey, that I'm sure a lot of you are on, I decided my next change would be dental floss. I looked around and saw bamboo charcoal and thought that looked natural enough, but in the reviews I saw someone that did a burn test (bless you stranger). Turns out it was being falsely advertised as plastic free, and they are sneakily being misleading by referring to the packaging and not the floss itself. I wanted to give the seller the benefit of the doubt so sent them a message asking them to clarify, and they confirmed that it did indeed contain a small amount of plastic to strengthen the floss. At least they fessed up to that, I suppose.So then I found this and I was skeptical having lost some trust in Amazon sellers, but decided to go for it anyway as I couldn't find any incriminating reviews. When it arrived I did the burn test myself, comparing with a video online and was very glad to see it checked out perfectly. No melting, only burning, and a black hollow bead that crumbled into ash.Next was using the floss itself. A lot of reviewers complained about breakage but as you'll notice the vast majority of these are complaining about the vegan floss and not the silk floss. I did experience some breakage, but changed my technique, using different portions of the floss every few swipes to prevent this from happening and it's been working so far. You could even soak the bit you cut off to soften it a bit if you're still having issues. Overall though I'm very impressed by the strength all things considered.I decided I would stock up on some refills, and when these arrived I had some issues which I let the seller know about. They investigated it with the supplier and sent me a free refill pack which was back to the quality I had come to expect. Amazing customer service!

One thing you should know if you're changing from regular floss to this one is that it's not waxed and it's significantly thicker, it's almost like trying to floss with butchers twine and it's rough as there's no coating. It's manageable to floss but I think the silk one might be a better option for the future.

This floss works so well for me. It goes between the closest teeth as well without much difficulty. It's very strong and doesn't fray like the other flosses I have had in the past. I am so pleased I found this as I feel safe knowing it is non toxic and no plastic.

The floss broke between my two back molars and I could not get it out. It caused a horrible pressure being stuck between my teeth. I had to go to the shops and buy new floss to dislodge it. Very disappointed.

I buy this regularly and happy with the quality. I have the dispenser so continuously refill. It’s eco and biodegradable.

Robust container, ideal for handbag

Breaks a few too many times, but gets the job done.
